PAVITRA & PAUL
July - August 2023
|AD Architectural Digest India
THE TOWN OF COONOOR IS ΑΝ AD FAVOURITE FOR ITS ROLLING HILLS, ITS NEELAKURINJI FLOWERS, ITS SUNSETS, AND ITS COLONIAL BUNGALOWS. AND NOW FOR ANOTHER REASON: PAVITRA RAJARAM AND PAUL ABRAHAM'S RESTORED HOME THAT EMBODIES A VERY PARTICULAR KIND OF LOVE FOR COLLECTING AND CURATING.
We always tend to measure history through humans but never via plants. I often gaze at the 100-year-old ficus or the native 300-year-old woodland tree and wonder what they must have witnessed over the years,” says Pavitra Rajaram, as she stands at the entrance gate to Nenagh, a 115-year-old bungalow, nestled in the Nilgiris in Coonoor, that she has lovingly restored along with her husband Paul Abraham. Pavitra, an AD100 designer and a prolific aesthete, and Paul—a banker but truly an avid historian and collector, as well as the founder of the Sarmaya Arts Foundation—have always lived in stunning homes but never in one that they created together. Nenagh for them is a dream fulfilled.
