A CHALK REVERIE

Celica Dream Home in Kolkata finds its calm in the softest pastels

- 

Design, when reduced to its most fragile essence, becomes emotionally organised. This Kolkata home by Essajees Atelier reads like the emotion distilled, a domestic topography mapped through tone, texture and light. Celica Dream Home is the address where whiteness ceases to be absent and begins to act as material.

“The client’s brief revolved around creating a White House — a home that felt bright, minimal, and timeless,” says Sarah Sham, Principal Designer, Essajees Atelier. Yet the response resists sterility. Instead, design here finds softness within control — an oasis where air, light and colour trace the mood.

The entry holds the first note of calm: muted pastels brushing against ivory surfaces, furniture that seems to pause mid-gesture and a mirror ceiling that fractures the ceiling plane into fragments of sky.
