REFURBISHMENT OF A 100 YEARS OLD COLONIAL MANSION.
The largest colonial mansion in the city, sitting on a prized 'acre'
deserved respect with a dash of 'cheeky irreverence', the result is a
space that swiftly moves through history with an arrow pointing towards
the future The intervention was responsive to the heritage and respected
the existing building typology with an edge of modernism. A design (try
was woven around the space taking inspiration from the existing
patterns in the house, from finials in the façade to motifs in the flooring
around the house. Hand-woven rugs, handmade woolen carpets,
customized furniture and imported hand blown glass chandeliers
adorning this enchanting residence are only a few of the elements that
make this home fit for royalty. I was lucky enough to be a part of this refurbishment project with Husna Rahaman.
