Perched high in Kolkata’s iconic skyscraper The 42, Abha is a residence that masterfully mirrors the layered soul of its city where colonial facades cast shadows on glass towers, and old-world grace flows seamlessly into contemporary ambition. Much like Calcutta itself, the home is a poetic juxtaposition: rooted in tradition, yet spirited with modernity.

is a series presented by Greenlam () in collaboration with

Framed by sweeping views of the Ganges, Howrah Bridge, Vidyasagar Setu, Victoria Memorial, and the Maidan, the home becomes a living canvas like a quiet witness to Calcutta’s layered past, vibrant present, and unfolding future. Within its walls, a rich tapestry unfurls: Indian art collected with care, textures shaped by hand, and whispers of Art Deco elegance that nod to the city’s bygone glamour. Every room tells a story of not just design, but of belonging.

Anchored in the quiet elegance of natural materials, the home finds its grounding in rich wood grains, tactile stone, and the gentle shimmer of warm brass accents. A soothing palette of earthy greys and muted hues creates a serene backdrop, allowing bold strokes of art and vibrant decor to emerge like moments of poetry on a neutral page. Though layered in detail and generous in expression, the design carries a sense of intention where every piece has a place, and every corner balances aesthetic richness with quiet functionality.
Abha is a proud celebration of Indian craft, layered storytelling, and functional elegance.

The "House of Nature Retreat" is a beautiful courtyard home that seamlessly blends traditional principles with modern living. This home is crafted to offer a profound sense of a personal retreat, deeply connected to its natural surroundings. Central to its design philosophy is the Vastu compliance, which guided its east-facing orientation and the strategic integration of multiple courtyards, ensuring abundant natural light and a continuous flow of fresh air throughout.

Every aspect of the house contributes to its unique character. The central "rain courtyard" is a focal point, not just for its aesthetic appeal with curvilinear seating and natural mounds, but also for its self-sustainable rainwater harvesting system, collecting 150,000 liters for landscape use. Other courtyards extend this connection to nature, with dedicated private spaces for the dining area and sons' bedrooms, each reflecting distinct design choices.

From reclaimed Chettinad columns in the living areas to the thoughtful landscape with all-season blooming plants and organic fertilizers, the home shows a strong commitment to sustainable practices and a serene, immersive living experience. Vastu principles were not limitations but catalysts for an original design, setting this home apart from conventional approaches and fostering a deep sense of heritage and well-being.

This thoughtfully designed residence in Tiptur, Tumkur district, by A Threshold, stands as a modern interpretation of traditional South Indian living. Set on a 70’x40’ corner plot with little surrounding architectural context, the house embraces its location by rooting itself in local heritage and landscape. Inspired by the communal spirit of old Tiptur, the design aims to form a meaningful dialogue between people, nature, and built space.

A striking black granite rubble wall sourced from a local quarry encloses the house like a protective shell, creating a clear boundary while preserving openness within. The design reimagines the “katte” as multi-level, semi-public gathering spaces, layered between courtyards and verandahs. These overlapping volumes blend privacy with connectivity, offering rich spatial experiences and cross-views throughout the house.

Internally, the house flows across varied levels, interspersed with staggered courtyards that soften the structure and invite natural light. The fusion of materiality and spatial rhythm not only respects regional identity but also transforms the home into a living, breathing extension of its place both rooted and refreshingly contemporary.

Located in Anand, Gujarat, the Shreekunj Residence exemplifies a design language that merges contemporary minimalism with contextual sensitivity. Set on a 9,500 sq.ft. plot, this thoughtfully planned bungalow draws from Zen-inspired principles, using earthy materials, soft curves, and strategic spatial zoning to create a residence that feels both rooted and refined.

At the heart of the design lies a central service core, allowing living spaces to flow seamlessly around it. A curved compound wall leads visitors into the home, setting the tone for spaces defined by natural light, textured finishes, and a strong indoor-outdoor relationship. The double-height family living area, the floating staircase with its V-shaped railing, and the perforated brick screen on the first-floor balcony showcase the balance of form, function, and aesthetics. The restrained material palette, terracotta tiles, washable terrazzo, and wood accents add warmth and understated elegance throughout.

Shreekunj stands as a quiet statement of contemporary design in Gujarat, where every element from the curved walls to the double-height interiors contributes to a calm, immersive living experience.

Tucked within a quiet gated community, this forever home is a tribute to memories and dreams. Set on a 60x45 plot, the house blends two bold volumes, concrete and stone into a composition of permanence and grace. A lush courtyard, reminiscent of the Western Ghats, anchors the home, inviting in playful paws and grandchildren’s laughter.
The entry, marked by a perforated wooden gate and a traditional column on black granite, leads to spaces that unfold gradually, hints of kitchen and dining, a welcoming double-height living room with a cozy bay window, and courtyards that blur inside and out. Upstairs, vaulted roofs, louvered windows, and red oxide floors with brass inlays embrace tradition with contemporary charm. A ribbon of brass along the staircase connects it all.

From a serene puja set on water to the open terrace cradled by tree canopies, this home, rooted in memory, is designed for joy that echoes the soul of a humble Coorg couple’s long-held dream.
