A Dining Space that Weaves Stories

The large, eight-seater table in the center of this floor's pleasant dining area is the focal point of family get-togethers and mealtime events. A genuine tribute to the rich cultural tapestry woven throughout the house, the table's base is a masterwork of carved legs that portray various aspects of Indian mythology and heritage. Each leg is expertly crafted with minute precision. With a glass top, the dining table provides a special angle from which guests may view the enthralling painting below while savoring their meals. The chairs, which match the table, have a unique style with elaborate handles decorated with exquisite horses, which adds to the room's overall cohesive theme.

Tucked up in a corner, a courtyard opens to the sky, providing views of the surrounding area from a side window. The floor is covered in stepping stones and pebbles that entice exploration by touch and give the surroundings a hint of rustic appeal.

A magnificent repurposed wooden column anchors one corner, adding to the room's classic elegance and beckoning visitors to savor its timeless appeal.

A Stand-out Staircase

A staircase elegantly meanders through the center of the home, fulfilling the dual roles of being a useful component and a striking architectural element. Starting as a bold blue metal divider on the ground floor, the railing to the staircase becomes a vibrant showstopper on the top floors with ornately decorated rails that are full of charm and character. By merging wood and granite, the staircase creates a captivating contrast between warmth and rawness that makes it easy for residents as well as visitors to climb its stairs. The stairwell has a feeling of classic beauty and grace because of the mosaic tiles that cover the risers. These tiles offer a touch of classic elegance.

Against the backdrop of a raw brick wall, the colorful railing creates an enchanting contrast, evoking a sense of whimsy and curiosity that beckons the users to ascend and discover the secrets that lie beyond. As the staircase ascends, it not only connects different levels of the house but also serves as a visual journey through artistry and innovation, leaving a lasting impression on all who traverse its path.
