A quiet escape in the heart of the city.

Designed as a weekend home for a couple who reside on the city's outskirts, this 4BHK apartment reverses the usual narrative of retreat. Instead of seeking stillness in distant farmhouses, the clients chose to find their pause within the city’s core, to reconnect, host, and unwind in a space that feels expansive, grounded, and quietly indulgent.

The layout is guided by a sense of flow, where the kitchen, dining, and living spaces unfold seamlessly into one another, and the line between indoors and outdoors blurs through reimagined thresholds. Subtle architectural interventions, such as shifting balcony doors inward, allow for an enlarged balcony experience, ideal for lazy Sunday mornings and the monsoon breeze that drifts through the open plan.

Materiality plays a central role in anchoring the space. Grey Kota stone stretches across the floor like a quiet skin, while a herringbone trail in warm brown Kota marks gentle transitions. The spatial language is one of softness and intent, where every corner invites presence rather than performance.

Rooted in comfort, layered with nostalgia, and attentive to experience over excess, this home offers a new kind of escape - one that doesn’t seek to leave the city behind but reimagines how to dwell within it.
