The Reddys envisioned a home that mirrors their lifestyle — one that balances deeply rooted cultural values with a contemporary, global outlook. The family appreciates art, heritage and fine craftsmanship, yet lives in a modern, socially vibrant way. Their home plays host to everything from formal dinners to intimate gatherings, while also serving as a warm, multigenerational space for everyday family life.
The brief itself was open-ended rather than stylistically prescriptive. Given the longstanding relationship between them and designer Mita Mehta, the creative direction evolved organically and intuitively. There was an unspoken understanding of sensibilities, allowing the process to feel collaborative and fluid rather than constrained.
Art became the starting point for nearly every room. The family’s collection — including significant works by modern Indian masters — informed the colour palettes, material choices and furniture selections throughout the home. The aim was to celebrate these pieces without overwhelming the space, ensuring that each artwork could breathe.
At the same time, the design sought to strike a thoughtful balance: layering traditional Indian elements with clean-lined contemporary furniture. The result is a home that feels collected rather than decorated — warm, serene and deeply personal, yet refined enough to host and entertain with ease.
