This Delhi home by Design Deconstruct reflects the city's 'more is never quite enough' perspective
PROJECT: Residential, Delhi; DESIGNERS: Design Deconstruct; PHOTOGRAPHS: Atul Pratap Chauhan
We're just one month away from 2025, and looking back, we can all agree on one thing-the design landscape of Delhi is a different ballgame altogether. The last few years have only highlighted this unique paradox of space. Unlike other metros where we often cling to every square foot, Delhi offers expanses so generous they could house an entire museum. Such is this 31,000 sq ft home by Design Deconstruct.
A massive porch draws one in, and once inside those four walls, one's sense of space is completely swept away. The soaring ceiling and white marble floors house some of the most sublime artworks, and, of course, the residents seem to float through the carefully curated spaces, where more is never quite enough.
