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.

The master bedroom sports a “spa-style teak bed, a study table from Jaipur and a cosy window seat that overlooks swathes of greenery, giving the space an earthy, ethnic look.” Wood cladding on the beam and a sliver of brick wall add warmth and texture to the space. Stucco walls behind the bed and sea-foam-green ceiling-height wardrobes with louvred panels on some of the doors gives the room a dash of colour and loads of personality.

The standout feature in the living room is a full-height display shelf painted in bold blue that adds a dramatic touch to the space. The furniture is earthy and warm, interspersed with cheery orange accent chairs. The room exudes a marine vibe thanks to the blue shelves and the diamond-patterned blue-and-white rug.
