The design concept
Lit from Within: a home whose grandeur is not proclaimed in daylight alone, but revealed most fully at dusk, when warm light spills through arched glass and every cornice becomes a crown.
The facade is anchored by a soaring double-height arched window at the centre, a bold classical gesture that draws the eye upward and floods the internal spaces with light. Flanking it are symmetrically arranged balconies with slender black railings, their clean geometry setting a counterpoint to the softness of the cream stucco finish. Stepped pilasters, deep cornices and a restrained use of classical moulding give the elevation a sense of weight and ceremony without veering into excess.
The entrance is designed as an arrival experience. A broad staircase rises to a columned porch, framed by warm amber uplighting that transforms the approach in the evening into something almost theatrical. Twin wall lanterns and carefully placed facade lighting ensure the home presents itself with equal dignity by day and by night.
Chandigarh, a city built on the ideals of order, light and modernity, provides a fitting context for a home that shares those values while honouring the warmth of a private family dwelling. The Residence is currently under construction: a home being built not just to impress, but to endure and to be loved.
