Overview
A house built for festivals, designed for Tuesdays.
A young family of five — three generations under one roof — wanted a villa that could host forty people at Sankranti and still feel intimate on an ordinary weeknight.
The challenge: the developer's layout chopped the ground floor into small, dark rooms; the staircase blocked the best light in the house; and the brief demanded a pooja room with real presence — not a cupboard with a door.
Design Concept
One continuous ground floor, anchored by a brass-lined jaali.
We removed two non-structural walls to merge living, dining and verandah into a single light-filled volume, then used a floor-to-ceiling carved jaali screen — backlit, brass-inlaid — to give the pooja room presence without closing it off.
"The jaali throws patterns across the floor every evening. It's the family's favourite hour."
Materials Used
Teak veneer
Wall panelling & wardrobe shutters, hand-finished matte.
Kota stone
Verandah & utility flooring — cool, honest, ages well.
Makrana marble
Pooja room floor and threshold inlay.
Antique brass
Jaali inlay, handles and light fittings throughout.
Execution
Civil & demolition done in week 1–3 while the factory cut every modular unit in parallel.
Electrical, AC and lighting layers planned around one master ceiling drawing — zero rework.
Factory modules installed in 9 days; the jaali screen craftsmen worked on site for three weeks.
Deep clean, styling and a walkthrough snag-list — closed before handover, not after.
The Result
Handed over in 16 weeks — two days early.
Forty guests at the housewarming. A ground floor that breathes. And a pooja room the grandparents call the heart of the house.
"They fought for our home like it was their own."
