This modern-day Eden in the heart of Bengaluru has been crafted by Mumbai-based founder and principal designer Kumpal Vaid of Purple Backyard, for a young family of three. The homeowners, Ankit Agarwal, co-founder and CFO, of NAVI and Megha Gupta, CXO - Growth at Meesho, and their five-year-old son, envisioned a space that would be a celebration of life, travel and joy. The interplay of indoor and outdoor spaces is at the heart of this 10,000 sq. ft. penthouse, as every room literally spills out onto a terrace or balcony. Megha reveals, “ We moved to Bengaluru about four years back and bought this home in the middle of the pandemic. The first time we saw this place we fell in love with it completely, primarily because of the beautiful large open decks on all floors.”
