Courtyards provide open-to-sky, outdoor space away from the public eye. Family activities can spill out, yet remain protected from the outside world. The space became an apt, socio-cultural congruent providing ground space for the family, especially women and children to carry out daily chores and festive celebrations. The central void became a connecting volume between floors with visual, audio and physical link maintaining a rapport with vertically segregated floors.

Indian design often calls to mind opulent rooms draped in colorful silks, but some Indian interiors are quite simple and utilitarian. Hits of colors and pattern liven up the clean lines of this contemporary Indian formal living space. Exotic artwork on the wall, calm, neutral hues, simple furnishings, natural material and clean lines to create a balanced and harmonious ambience.

Indian decor is often rich in color, pattern and texture; just a few strategically placed pieces can fill a room with exotic flair. An antique Indian bed back, hand-stitched with beading and gold thread, completely transforms this urban loft bedroom into a vibrant, energetic space.
