Design in Details
Luxury doesn’t always arrive in sweeping square footage. Sometimes, it’s in the thoughtful sync of design — how light is allowed to linger, how storage slips out of sight, how each room earns its moment. This Gurgaon apartment is a study in that sync: a renovation that stretches space and soothes the senses.
the brief was clear: more storage, and a contemporary, minimal aesthetic, with just the right amount of character. In response, the apartment defies its compactness by folding in flexibility, pairing a neutral shell with curated flourishes of boldness.
“Every room has its own accent,” shares Shubhi. “They didn’t want anything too traditional, but we still wanted to evoke warmth and rootedness.” The result is a modern home that doesn’t feel sterile. Structural changes came first: a former storeroom was sliced in half to create space for a mandir; beams that once loomed heavy were softened with curves, now tucked into the false ceiling like a quiet trick of the eye.
Incredible Result
Establishing multi-sensory experiences, we can design interiors that resonate across ages and demographics. These rooms and spaces connects us to nature as a proven way to inspire us, boost our productivity, and create greater well-being. Beyond these benefits, by reducing stress and enhancing creativity, we can also expedite healing. In our increasingly urbanized cities, biophilia advocates a more humanistic approach to design. The result is biophilic interiors that celebrate how we live, work and learn with nature. The term translates to ‘the love of living things’ in ancient Greek (philia = the love of / inclination towards), and was used by German-born American psychoanalyst Erich Fromm in The Anatomy of Human Destru ctiveness (1973).
