Chettinad Elegance
Teak colonnades, Athangudi tile floors and brass lamps around an open courtyard. Timeless tradition, rich in heritage — and native to Tamil Nadu.
Module 03 · Themes
Thirteen collections we return to again and again — ten drawn from India’s own regions, three modern, four from further afield.
Indian Heritage Collection
Rooms drawn from India’s own building traditions — each one adapted to Tamil Nadu light, heat and family life.
Teak colonnades, Athangudi tile floors and brass lamps around an open courtyard. Timeless tradition, rich in heritage — and native to Tamil Nadu.
A nadumuttam courtyard open to the sky, sloped timber roof, terracotta underfoot and cane seating that stays cool through the afternoon.
A carved teak jhula, mirrored embroidery, brass vessels and arched niches lit by coloured glass.
Frescoed arches, jali screens and chandelier light over jewel-toned seating — palace detail, kept symmetrical so it reads calm.
Polished marble, gilded cornices and crystal light, warmed by deep red and rose textiles.
Colonial shutters, a stained-glass fanlight, cane-backed furniture and a mosaic floor. Restrained, literary, green-shaded.
Whitewash and cobalt shutters, exposed beams, jute underfoot and indigo prints — built for sea air and long light.
Walnut carving, khatamband ceilings, hand-knotted carpets and papier-mâché detail against mountain light.
Wada proportions, dark timber, red-oxide floors and deep verandah shade.
Bamboo and cane, woven pendants, textile wall hangings and a wall of green. Light, breathable and built around the outdoors.
Modern Collection
Pale surfaces, concealed storage and a single line of warm light. Nothing on show that does not need to be.
Layered neutrals with one strong accent, open to the dining and kitchen beyond.
Double-height glazing, book-matched marble and a chandelier over a dark, quiet palette.
World Collection
Low furniture, raw wood, paper-soft light. Rooms that stay quiet even when the house isn't.
Pale palettes, honest materials, and function first — warmth without a single wasted object.
Arches, textured plaster, terracotta underfoot. Built for sun — which makes it built for here.
Zellige pattern, brass lanterns, deep clay colour — maximal detail kept calm by symmetry.
