The home stands out from the neighbourhood thanks to its skewed brick wall. The entry gate features a laser cut-out pattern which makes for wonderful sciagraphy. The entrance foyer flaunts an inlay of yellow Jaisalmer and steel grey granite. The main door makes the transition between the rustic and the modern smooth, with the brass cut-out extending an elegant welcome. The door opens up to a sculptural staircase, which forms the spine of the design. The entrance passage divides the semi-private and private spaces.
