Indian Summer

In the heart of Chennai is a 2000 sq. ft apartment that encapsulates the essence of an Indian summer. Home to a tight-knit family of five adults and their two feline companions, the design of this 4-bedroom apartment is driven primarily by the specificities of the family’s lifestyle, their love for a traditional Indian aesthetic and vibrant colour. The transformation breathed new life into their home – strategically placed window seats offered panoramic views of the lush greenery, a rare find amid the urban sprawl. Cherished antiques discovered on the streets of Pondicherry, bespoke furniture upholstered in brilliantly-hued fabrics, and vintage saris reborn as artwork all contribute to the apartment’s narrative – a true embodiment of family and tradition.
