The Space
A newly bought 6200 sq ft. home in the city of Kolkata, owned by MasterChef, Sneha Singhi.
The Ask
We took up this time-sensitive project during the pandemic and had all of six months to redo the entire house. Along with the client, her husband-to-be, and their two dogs were going to live in this home. The only brief they had for us was to keep the home airy, welcoming, and full of light.
The Result
The amount of trust that our client had in us was really inspiring and made us want to do our very best. Since the client is a working couple, we were looking for furniture that was easy to maintain without having to compromise on style or elegance. We travelled overseas to buy most of the furniture and the client approved all of it simply on our word after looking at the pictures.
The couple are serious art collectors and have a remarkable art collection. We made the most of this throughout their home.
The whole point of renovating the house was to have an open space with dog friendly interiors.
We chose tiles for flooring that were anti-skid and for fabrics we picked something that can withstand canine affection. Getting this right was crucial for us because we truly believe that every client in the home is important, even if it is a furry client.
Another interesting factor that we added to the space was a coffee room. Since our client is a professional chef and loves coffee, we dedicated a small room to creating her personal space. The best testimony for us was that just through her and one good experience, we have now built a significant client base in Kolkata over the last four and a half years. This was a breakthrough project for us as it opened many doors for future projects.
