A welcome change from the crammed and clustered city spaces, Castle Royale in Pune is a step towards expansive housing. Brought to life on a rustic backdrop, the house evokes a sense of nostalgia while exuding a quiet calmness with its refreshing view of abundant green canopies. On entering the apartment, you are welcomed by a series of descending arches finished in dark IPS to create an illusion of an extended passageway overlooking distant views of the city. Cement tiles and natural stones replace the existing marble flooring to match the earthy vibe of the space. A reflection of the vivid personality and lifestyle of the owners - Girish and Sneha Lakhotiya, the house is warm and welcoming, as well as an apt venue for social events and gatherings.
