A comprehensive approach to extravagance

Architects Kulveer Singh and Ritu Yadav of TOD Studio Innovations fuse contemporary style with high-lux elements to create a harmonious and modern home.

Designed for a client moving from a farmhouse setup to an apartment, this penthouse in Gurugram exudes luxury. The Araya penthouse boasts a lavish living space, an outdoor party area and a rooftop pool, carrying the typology of the client’s previous residence into an urban context. Bespoke touches of fluted glass partitions, elegant crystal wall sconces and chandeliers, and contemporary art emanate opulence as they dot the home.

A large foyer welcomes one into this abode with a larger-than-life painting on one side that breathes life into the area. The entrance foyer opens into a lavish living space that peeks through rotating fluted-glass partitions. The living space results from the pool on top, whose large structural columns divide this vast space into two halves. Taking advantage of the situation, the design team created a formal seating area and a TV lounge connected visually opposite it. The vast living room and the dining area use semi-precious stones like quartz and mother-of-pearl inlay work for table tops, side tables, handles and fascia of the furniture.

Along with the muted and refined theme, the elder’s bedroom is in shades of white. A light palette combined with stones, wallpapers, fabrics, wall paints, and fluting lends the room an airy and serene feel. On the opposite side of the white room is a guest bedroom with varying levels. A lighter template with beige-toned textures and upholstery is curated to give the room lightness and elegance, considering the varying ceiling levels.

The hallway leads to a central staircase lined with hand-painted art spanning the lower and upper floors. The vibrant staircase leads to the upper floor, which houses master bedrooms, an indoor party area, and a powder room. The vibrant staircase leads to the lounge area, which is designed lavishly, as the indoor party space is also on the same floor. The powder room is designed and fitted with lights and fixtures to maintain a luxurious experience for guests.

Designed for a couple, the master bedroom deviates from the neutral theme without going overboard. The colour palette is adjusted to the client’s taste, infused with warm shades of peach and pink. While fabrics align with the warmer tones, the material palette for the ceiling, walls and furniture align the room with the rest of the house. The penthouse seamlessly threads elegance with luxury. A minimalistic base palette accented with coloured rugs, wall coverings, bright artwork and a Sufi lighting design, aligning the vision desired for the project. A holistic and easy-to-maintain approach to opulence.
