The Vrindavan Project reinvents sustainable luxury
“We strongly believe that luxury, sustainability, and conscious design can coexist harmoniously. Every project that we undertake is an opportunity to create spaces that are beautiful and respectful of nature and craftsmanship.” — Shreenu Mukherjee, Interior Designer, The Vrindavan Project.
The Vrindavan Project, founded by Ranjeet and Shreenu Mukherjee, is more than just a design studio; it celebrates inner spirit with nature. Their work exemplifies the concept that luxury can be sustainable and that every location provides a chance to promote harmony between people and the environment.
Ritu Kalra commissioned interior designer Shreenu Mukherjee in 2015 to design the interior of cafe Koko Pizzeria. The success of the project prompted the Kalra family to hire her again for their 3,500-square-foot condominium in Gurugram. Based on Ritu’s requirement to create a comfortable and utilitarian home out of natural materials for longer sustenance, Shreenu created a space that embodied The Vrindavan Project’s ideology of maximal minimalism, elegance, and sustainability. The project combines “style and luxury” with “conscious awareness,” a signature style of Shreenu’s design philosophy.
The condominium’s warm beige colour scheme, enhanced by vibrant hues and varied textures, produces a tranquil and sophisticated atmosphere. “Manifesting elegant spaces with unique elements and meticulous attention to detail is the driving force behind The Vrindavan Project’s evolving design language,” Shreenu says.
The Vrindavan Project places a strong emphasis on sustainability. Locally sourced stones, such as marble, granite, and sandstone, are prominently displayed, providing aesthetic appeal and efficient insulation. Woodwork from indigenous timber, reinforced with metal, and crafted by local artisans contributes to the residence’s handcrafted, bespoke character. The project avoided prefabrication and employed a large team of trained craftsmen and technicians, promoting social sustainability.
The furniture and furnishings were chosen from organisations that prioritise corporate social responsibility and adhere to The Vrindavan Project’s ethical criteria. This meticulous curation yielded a serene, harmonious setting where subtle contrasts coexist beautifully.
“Spirituality is at the core of our professional work ethic,” Shreenu explains. “For us, maintaining a sense of calm and balance through a restrained approach to design is fundamental.” This mentality pervades the Gurugram residence, which acts as a living testament to her vision—a fusion of luxury, sustainability, and conscientious design that redefines modern life.
