Opposite the living room is a sunken pebbled courtyard that has been designed with an additional seating zone. “These pockets of seating allow people more freedom to use the space as per their choice,” Shah says.
10. Set against a modern staircase design is a space that sings of Indian traditions … who wouldn’t be at home here? Studio Lagom have created a courtyard-inspired area accentuated with a tree – pointing to the age-old practice of Indian homes sporting an inner atrium with a tree for worship. Right next to it is a wooden column of the sort usually seen in old mansions or palaces. The wall along the very contemporary stairs displays intricate traditional drawings of elephants and trees.
