The 7000 sq.ft. floor plate is in a commercial building which houses Mugdha Silk Showroom on two floors and CULT fitness on the third floor. The fourth floor was later transformed into a residential 6 BHK space. Therefore it came with its own set of challenges with the beam heights being real low & planning the zones so that it was easy to meander between areas at the same time to make it a cohesive and cozy home. For them, this 6BHK conversion stands as a testament to thoughtful design, spatial innovation, and adaptive planning. The layout was reimagined to balance openness and functionality. Two spacious living areas cater to both formal entertaining and intimate family time, while a central kitchen anchors the home — modern, efficient, and connected to the social core. Six well-proportioned bedrooms, each with its own identity and privacy, were planned with strategic circulation paths to ensure comfort without compromise.

This space was designed for a joint family of 11 people (adults and kids included) with space for the helps of the house as well.  The entourage included grandparents, parents, teenagers, kids & toddlers – so the design had to bring in the best for every person s needs while balancing the aesthetics. Thus they came up with the idea of “GLAM FORT” – GLAMOUROUS YET COMFORTABLE.

The family space was very dear to them – it had to tie in the aesthetics of all age groups. Welcome to a space where comfort meets character — the heart of the home, thoughtfully designed for the entire family to unwind, connect, and create memories. The rustic charm of the exposed brick wall sets a warm and timeless backdrop, beautifully complemented by wooden rafters that stretch across the ceiling, adding texture and a sense of heritage. At the center of it all is a super-comfortable sofa that practically invites you to sink in — perfect for long conversations, lazy weekends, or movie nights that go well past bedtime. A handcrafted wooden jhoola gently sways in one corner, blending tradition with relaxation, while a state-of-the-art massage chair offers a modern indulgence — your personal retreat after a long day. This family space is more than just a room — it’s a sanctuary where every element is chosen for comfort, connection, and a little bit of everyday luxury.

The entrance foyer has zero furniture on purpose as we wanted to highlight the wall just on its own & hence a carved sandstone piece in three hues was brought in and flanked by lotus cut outs. Step into a space where timeless elegance meets natural strength — where every surface tells a story carved in stone. Enveloped in a rich stone finish texture paint, this environment radiates a raw, grounded beauty that echoes the essence of nature itself. With its earthy tones and rugged charm, the stone finish evokes the feeling of ancient architecture reimagined for the modern age — durable, sophisticated, and effortlessly refined.

This is a home where every bedroom tells a different story — thoughtfully designed to reflect the personalities, needs, and lifestyles of its diverse occupants. These six distinct bedrooms are more than just places to rest — they are tailored sanctuaries, each crafted with a unique age group and design sensibility in mind. From the soft pastels and whimsical elements of the toddler’s room to the playful, functional layout of the child’s bedroom, every detail is designed to inspire imagination and comfort. The teenager’s space blends bold colors with smart storage and study zones — a modern, expressive retreat for growing minds.

The two master bed rooms take on a calm, minimal aesthetic — a soothing mix of neutral tones and warm textures that offer universal comfort. These two rooms exude understated luxury, with elegant furnishings, layered lighting, and a palette that invites serenity. And for the grandparents, a cozy, classic room balances tradition with ease — complete with familiar textures, subtle patterns, and a sense of homely warmth. Each room stands apart in style — from Scandinavian simplicity and rustic charm to modern minimalism and timeless elegance — yet they are all united by thoughtful design, comfort, and a deep sense of belonging.
