Shanti Vihar-23, located in the heart of East Delhi, is a luxurious 2552 sq. ft. four-bedroom apartment that stands as a testament to modern urban living. Part of a four-storey builder floor with convenient stilt parking, this home is perfectly situated in a prime area that offers easy access to essential amenities like the local market, metro station, hospitals, and gyms. It provides an ideal blend of convenience and tranquility, making it a perfect retreat for a modern family.
The vision for Shanti Vihar-23 was clear from the start: the clients desired a stylish, contemporary home that would meet the diverse needs of all family members. Nadora by Ritu Gupta embraced this vision and set out to create a space that not only exudes modernity but also incorporates elements of nature, bringing a touch of the outdoors into the home. This is beautifully exemplified in the use of terracotta jali tiles on the facade, which not only add a distinctive aesthetic appeal but also allow for the circulation of fresh air, ensuring the interiors remain bright and airy.
As you step inside, the thoughtful planning of the layout becomes immediately apparent. The diverse spaces within the home flow effortlessly into one another, creating a sense of expansiveness while still maintaining distinct areas for different functions. The drawing room, family lounge, and dining area are designed to offer both comfort and style, with a seamless transition between these spaces that enhances the overall living experience. The strategic placement of shafts in the center of the home further allows for an abundance of natural light and ventilation, ensuring that every corner of the house feels inviting and alive.
The design inspiration for this project was to achieve a harmonious balance between modern sophistication and earthy warmth. The terracotta jali, with its modern twist, stands as a symbol of this balance, while the interiors feature a soothing palette of colors and materials that bring a sense of freshness and cheer to the home. The use of artworks adds a touch of quirkiness, keeping the environment vibrant and youthful.
One of the standout features of Shanti Vihar-23 is the meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of the design. The flooring throughout the house is adorned with luxurious Italian stones, lending an air of opulence. In the drawing room, the onyx wall cladding and onyx-topped dining table become focal points that exude luxury and elegance. The dining room walls, paneled in rich wood veneer, add warmth and texture, creating a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. Even in the bathrooms, the tiles have been chosen to mimic the look of Italian stones, ensuring that every space within the home is consistent in its luxurious feel.
The color palette for the interiors has been carefully curated to reflect a blend of modernity and familiarity, with a mix of soothing hues like white, cream, taupe, and sage, balanced with darker shades of brown, grey, and black for added dimension. The master bedroom, with its unique combination of sage green and cherry red, is a perfect example of how color can be used to create a striking yet harmonious environment. In the private spaces, textures take center stage, with fumed oak veneer in the family lounge and dining area adding warmth, and stone-textured tiles in the bathrooms contributing to a modern, luxurious vibe. One of the most exciting aspects of Shanti Vihar-23 is the way the interiors came to life. The onyx wall cladding in the drawing room is a luxurious high point, while the hand-painted artwork on the master bedroom’s bed back wall adds a unique and personal touch.
