The last few months have seen the luxury home market boom. Real estate developers have a lot of say when it comes to the increase in demand towards luxury homes and the latest data illustrates intriguing trends in the uber-luxury world. Technology is becoming integral, and people are now looking beyond the Midas touch and European names for the basics of spatial experience and customised comfort. Renowned designer Sumeessh Menon says, “An uber luxury home is one that defines your style and at the same time caters to your lifestyle in a way that is timeless, elegant, and of course, functionally flawless.” Bengaluru-based Sandeep Khosla agrees, “It is all about a high degree of customisation, careful curation of furniture and objects, tailor made to the clients need and specification, and bespoke elements like lighting furniture and accessories.”
