The spatial design is thoughtfully composed so that each layer of the home offers a unique perspective, creating a visual hierarchy that enhances the sense of connection. From any given point, there’s a carefully curated view into the next space, allowing the eye to travel through layers of architecture and creating a sense of continuity and discovery. These transitions are not just about moving from one room to another; they're about experiencing the home as a series of interconnected scenes that unfold gracefully, each revealing a new facet of the home's design

“Overlays” is a residence that tells a story of interconnected spaces and quiet transitions.  The spatial sequence privileges flow over flourish, allowing distinct zones to remain in dialogue. Materials like stone, travertine, and patinated metal are used not for contrast, but for continuity. Outside, the landscape mirrors this sensibility, with staggered gardens and soft thresholds blurring the line between building and ground. It is a home shaped by layering not just of form, but of time, memory, and movement.

The VIC areas are graced by embroidered wooden panels that steal the spotlight. These intricately embroidered panels come to life as artworks, carefully illustrated and translated into fabric codes and CNC perforations. Months of painstaking craftsmanship by numerous artisans have gone into these panels, amounting to a staggering 15,000 hours of dedication. The inspiration behind this art is Louis Vuitton’s enduring connection with India and its craftsmanship. Titled “Something to Remember You By,” the artwork is a testament to Louis Vuitton’s commitment to remaining authentic and relevant to its context. The abstract composition masterfully blends the two signature store colors, transcending gender classifications and highlighting the evolving nature of fashion. The art is complemented by furniture that harmonizes seamlessly with the overall design, creating a visual symphony of aesthetics and craftsmanship.

A true highlight of the interiors is the embroidered wood technique, a process that marries tradition with innovation. Fine threads are meticulously woven into wooden panels that have been precision-drilled using CNC technology, resulting in a stunning fusion of old-world craftsmanship and modern precision. This intricate technique adds depth and texture, transforming each panel into a piece of art that embodies both heritage and innovation. This approach not only showcases the beauty of the materials but also symbolizes the delicate balance between tradition and modernity that defines the entire home.

Here, a particularly intriguing artwork takes center stage, a masterpiece that transcends traditional mediums. Titled “What Could’ve Been If We Wouldn’t Have Been,” was a piece painted by me and then translated into embroidery on wood. It is a profound work of embroidery on wood, a craft patented by Rooshadshroff. This artwork is more than just a visual feast; it’s a tactile journey that invites visitors to explore its depths. It begins with a depiction of a serene sunset, a vista that offers a glimpse into a world untouched by human presence. The horizon becomes a portal, offering an invitation to contemplate what might have been if our cities and our existence had not left their mark on the Earth.
