They say a home is where the heart is. What goes unsaid is that a home is also where a family—especially a multi-generational one—gathers and argues, celebrates, loves loudly and needs, just as often, to be left alone.

The House of Belonging, a 42,000 sq ft residence in Chennai by C Design (.design), was built around that unspoken half of the sentence. Principal architect M. M. Meyyappan (.meyyappan) understood that a sense of togetherness cannot survive without privacy and in a mixed household, a home must nurture individuality with the same seriousness it protects proximity.

The unconventional luxury: Lifting the entire residential floor plate 22 feet above ground, to create a new "ground plane" where family life, landscape, and privacy converge

Most hillside homes begin by levelling the slope. Hill House by ZHCollective | Habitat Architects (zafar.habitat_zhcollective) did the opposite!

In Solan, Zafar Choudhary and Monika Choudhary (.zafar), founding partners of ZHCollective | Habitat Architects, let the mountain’s gradient set the section. “There is no single ground plane,” they say. “There is a succession of grounds.” Views stay selective instead of panoramic, and the same section that moves people through the house also manages monsoon water.

The Unconventional Luxury: The house allows its changing ground levels to determine structure, circulation, landscape, hydrology, and occupation.

For our October 2026 issue powered by Schueco India (), we turned the spotlight on projects that challenge the expected, the ones that refused to follow the familiar script.

Across ten distinctive practices, we observed that luxury is rarely about spectacles alone. Sometimes, it means allowing a difficult landscape to dictate the architecture. Elsewhere, it means lifting an entire home above the ground to rethink how a family can belong together without giving up individuality. Together, these projects propose another definition of luxury: the ability to have a vivid imagination and the conviction of doing things differently.

Featuring: Habitat Architects (.habitat_zhcollective), 42MM Architecture (), C Design (.design), SAV Architecture + Design (), Aparna Kaushik Design Group (), Cityspace’82 Architects (), Essentia (), Morphogenesis (.official), 23DC Architects () and Apurva Parikh Architects ()⁠

Alongside this, we're thrilled to present Young Icons 2026: our annual celebration of the architects and designers redefining the discipline on their own terms!

In Sector 65, Gurugram, The Prop House turns 2,000 sq ft into an Italian neighbourhood bar and cafe that resists 'feelings' over literalism. Crafted by design head and founder Rishika Sutwala, it arrives at something that could only be described as a contemporary Italian villa, casually revived. Think layered weathered textures, vineyard references and contemporary fabrication into a space that feels discovered rather than freshly made!

"The design draws subtle inspiration from the Cathedral of Santa Maria in Florence, translated into a contemporary palette of sage green, terracotta, limestone, grey, and black. Rather than recreating Italy literally, the intent was to evoke the feeling of discovering a restored Italian villa reimagined as a cafe," she shares.

Can time shape a home, rather than simply pass through it? The House of Collected Time, a 9,500 sq ft residence in Delhi, offers a bold answer. Envisioned by Disha Subramaniam (), founder and principal designer of her eponymous studio, the house began with a simple resolve: to avoid anonymity.

“It was essential that the house felt layered,” she notes, “its character built as though accumulated through years of inhabitation.” From this intent emerges a house that resists a single architectural lineage. Traditional craft, classical proportion, Deco motifs, and modern composition are brought into deliberate conversation to give the house an expressive depth. In its unfolding, The House of Collected Time settles into an eclectic interior that feels as though it has gathered its own patina.

Modern workspaces have long subscribed to one idea: serious work needs subdued surroundings. Over time, an entire aesthetic has come to define what productivity is supposed to look like. Den Studio's 550-square-foot office in Ahmedabad offers a persuasive counterpoint. ()

Envisioned by founders Rakshanda Moog () and Dev Thakkar () as their own workplace, the compact studio draws upon the chromatic optimism of the Bauhaus to argue that colour need not compete with concentration—it can sharpen it. "Grey, beige and white have almost become the default language of offices”, remarks Rakshanda. “We wanted to explore whether colour could create a workplace that still felt professional, but also more energetic and reflective of the way we actually work."
