The residence housing a couple and their son, is conceptualised as a three-lettered word – JOY; which becomes a medium of expression of thoughts of its inhabitants. The apartment is envisioned to be palpable, such that it breathes and has a life of its own. The design was practicality curated and comfort was the primary aim of the interiors.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The project was a spiritual learning experience which helped in visualising and creating a place called "HOME" in its true sense for the clients. Unique decorative details in the design had to be explored to enable the apartment to burst with character.The transition in the design has been boundless; from the first option to the final outcome, it has been an evolution in time.
CHALLENGE: Addressing the client’s urge for 3 components– romance, faces, and parijat; the Radha Krishna mural elegantly renders the love of Radha and Krishna which is symbolic of the eternal love. Inspired from the remnants of colors on a wall on the festival of Holi, the composition of this mural has been done deftly taking into consideration the subtle-sensitivity of a poet, the ruthless intellect of an artist, and the soft heart of the beloved in order to enter into the enchanted realm of mysticism.
