TRANQUIL NEST

PROJECT NAME

TRANQUIL NEST

Location

NEW DELHI

Design Philosophy

The client requested a calm, clutter-free home that promotes relaxation, emphasizes natural light, and uses a neutral palette. They desired functional luxury, with elements of nature incorporated into the interiors.

Every home has a story, and this one began almost a year ago when the house was still under construction. A large back window framed a beautiful mango tree, planted by the client nearly 25 years ago with his daughter. Today, that very tree stands tall as a centerpiece of what has now become our client’s Tranquil Nest.

This penthouse, located in the heart of New Delhi, embodies warm, inviting, and personalized spaces designed for gathering family and friends. The interiors feature earthy tones and natural materials, creating a serene yet elegant retreat.

Entrance

The entrance is designed for social gatherings, with public areas and a casual dining space, while the upper level—accessed via a central staircase—offers a more private setting with three bedrooms and a cozy lounge.

Living Space

Expansive living space seamlessly blends modern sophistication with timeless charm, curated with an eye for symmetry, comfort, and natural light. The neutral color palette—dominated by shades of cream, taupe, and soft beige—sets a tranquil tone, while subtle gold and bronze accents add a layer of refined luxury.

A trio of plush, custom-upholstered sofas anchor the layout, creating a symmetrical seating arrangement that enhances visual balance. The sofas are flanked by sculptural side tables and classic floor lamps with glass bases, bringing understated opulence to the space. Central to the layout are contemporary nested coffee tables in rich wood tones, accessorized with floral arrangements and curated décor that add personality without overwhelming the minimal aesthetic.
Floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors bathe the room in natural light, drawing the eye outward to a lush green balcony, while soft taupe drapery frames the windows with elegance and practicality. A subtle area rug grounds the seating area, introducing texture and warmth against the polished marble flooring.

Dining Room

This elegant dining space is a refined celebration of form, function, and custom detailing. Drenched in soft natural light, the space is thoughtfully designed to offer a sense of calm luxury, perfect for both intimate dinners and curated gatherings.
At the heart of the room lies a stunning marble-top dining table—its surface a rich canvas of veining and elegance. Surrounded by ergonomically curved dining chairs upholstered in plush suede and leather, the setting exudes both comfort and understated opulence. Subtle gold accents on the chair legs and backrests complement the soft champagne and beige palette of the room, enhancing its sophisticated charm.
The backdrop features classic wall paneling and modern vertical sconces, offering a warm glow that complements the layered lighting in the ceiling. Above, a linear crystal chandelier floats with quiet grandeur, adding brilliance without overwhelming the space.

Private Spaces: Bedroom

This master bedroom is a sanctuary of softness and sunlight, where interiors are carefully curated to echo the calm of the outdoors. Anchored by a plush upholstered bed in muted sand tones, the space is styled in harmonious layers of blush, beige, and ivory—evoking warmth without overpowering serenity.
The backdrop is a stunning wall finished in a textured, rose-tinted Venetian plaster, adding depth and quiet luxury behind the oversized headboard. Complementing this backdrop are dual nightstands in a high-gloss cream finish with tapered legs and minimal hardware, paired with classic ceramic lamps and personal accents that add character to the room.

Floor-to-ceiling windows invite an abundance of natural light, with sheers and full-length blackout drapes offering flexibility between illumination and intimacy. The lush green trees outside act as a living artwork, filtering light and creating a tranquil, ever-changing view that elevates the sense of peace within.
A cosy seating corner is carved out near the window, featuring two sculptural armchairs and a delicate gold-framed side table—perfect for morning coffee or evening conversations. On either side of the room, potted plants enhance the biophilic design approach, blurring the boundaries between indoor elegance and outdoor tranquillity.

Additional Spaces/ Interesting Spaces

An Intimate Dining Niche Under the Stairway: Where Design Meets Function
Tucked gracefully beneath a contemporary floating staircase, this cosy dining nook redefines how transitional spaces can be transformed into design features. Breaking away from conventional dining layouts, this bespoke setup blends intimacy with innovation, making use of every inch without compromising on style.

At its heart sits a custom round dining table paired with luxurious upholstered chairs in a soothing beige and muted blush palette. Gold-tipped legs add a touch of glamour, effortlessly tying in with the warm underlighting that outlines the staircase and platform—creating an ambience that’s both inviting and refined.
The backdrop is minimalist yet textured, featuring vertically fluted wall panels and a soft beige buffet console that adds both utility and elegance. Subtle decor—like fresh florals, sculptural accessories, and a pop of amber glass—accentuate the space without overwhelming it. A tall display unit balances the vignette, offering both open and closed storage in sleek vertical proportions.
