Set in the rural hinterland outside Pune, India, 42 Wagholi is an impeccably crafted weekend house that blurs architecture, interiors and landscape. Large and generous bathrooms open into private courtyards and feature nature-inspired materials like our apaiserMARBLE® pieces in a custom cream finish.

Perhaps the most relaxing space in the house is this lovely bedroom, where our client himself finds his centre on the daily. Rattan elements complement the tranquil neutrals used here. Sheer curtains add to the romance. The slender fluted panelling in the grey wall behind the bed is amplified in the wall across. In a corner, is a desk and another Chandigarh chair. This wondrous home has all the feels of a highway rest house, a boutique homestay, a writer’s abode and a sea side watchtower merged into one.
