WAYS OF SEEING

From the bustling streets of Delhi to the serene embrace of the Jahanpanah Forest, Abhimanyu Dalal in collaboration with Amrita Guha and Joya Nandurdikar craft a home that finds itself in a dialogue of art within an architectural marvel

- SHRITI DAS

On a busy street in Delhi amidst the cacophony of traffic, people and urban living, is a home that takes you as far as you can get from the city. The house, flanked by residences on either side, is located on a narrow piece of land that Abhimanyu Dalal, the principal architect on the project, describes as a "stimulating challenge." The home is a series of beautiful surprises from the get-go: It's many homes in one house, an ingenious play of solids and voids with the play of light and shadow painting its spaces in myriad shades from sunrise to sunset. And in between this busy road and the Jahanpanah Forest, the home unfolds like a series of surprises, with interiors curated and crafted from across the country by Amrita Guha and Joya Nandurdikar of Untitled Design Consultants. The art curations, bespoke details and their eye for nuances make this home a delightful discovery.
