Studio Wrap designed this farmhouse to reflect the traditional values of the family by envisioning it as a modern Indian haveli. In collaboration with a team of architects and landscape designers, the Studio remodelled the existing structure of the house, adding new features including a pool house and staff quarters. The interiors were completely redesigned by Wrap and the landscaping of the grounds was commissioned under their creative direction.
Respect for traditional Vastu principles guided the project, which paid tribute to Indian master craftsmanship as well as contemporary furniture design. Each room had a unique concept and specially commissioned furniture: the master bedroom was inspired by Mughal gardens and featured a flower-laden bed titled “Bageecha Bistra” while the sitting room’s black and white furniture was chess-inspired and titled “Shatranj.”
The Bageecha Bistra dominates the master bedroom with its reference to a Mughal garden.

The most spectacular details of this New Delhi farmhouse were sourced from highly skilled artisans across India. Hand-painted murals by fourth-generation artisans from Jaipur in collaboration with contemporary artist Remen Chopra brighten the entrance foyer while pure gold and silver-plated folding doors are dramatic against the Mughal motifs inlaid in the Greek Thassos marble floors. Many pieces of furniture are accentuated by semi-precious stones and 24-carat gold leaf by artisans from Agra.
Hand painted miniature art by Rajasthani artisans in collaboration with contemporary Indian artist Remen Chopra.
24 carat gold leaf and pure silver leaf applied by Jaipur based craftsman on dividers in the dining room create privacy and drama.
A host of internationally sourced materials complement Indian crafts, like textiles by Dascoli, silver antiques, wallpapers by Timorous Beasties from Scotland along with chandeliers from Europe. Art is highlighted throughout the home, including traditional Pichwais as well as contemporary artworks by Ranbir Kaleka, Dilip Chobisa, and paintings of Hindu deities by Giampaolo Tomassetti, an Italian artist residing in Vrindavan.
