FEELING BULLISH

A larger than life Chennai home designed by Rupesh and Archana Baid of Mumbai-based AND Design Co, is equal parts eclectic and luxurious

The sculptural bespoke front door straight-away announces that this home is like no other and indeed this spacious home in Chennai is a distinctive space. Custom made in layers of metal with a handle encrusted with semi-precious stones, this door crafted by Kunal Kumar, sets the mood for all the eclectic glamour inside. The shell of this 5900 sq.ft home comprises a classically luxe material palette in a medley of marbles, metal and wood, but what sets this home apart in the ensemble of art and modish furniture which gives it an unexpectedly eclectic touch.
