Nestled in the bustling locality of New Delhi, Aalay is an urban residence that optimises space for robustness and flexibility. Echoing the close-knit bonds and familial intimacy of ancestral homes, the design of Aalay offers a modern take on residential living, catering to both the individual and collective aspirations of a multi-generational family.

The living area, with its pale blue walls, beige marble flooring, and refined neutral furniture, is a receptacle of calm and quiet. The bespoke coffee table and the retractable TV unit with the soft profiles add a touch of sophistication to the living area.

The design thoughtfully separates the apartment’s public and private spaces, with a generous passage defined by flooring patterns guiding visitors to the open living and dining areas—the heart of the home. Additionally, to the right of the passage lies a versatile, multifunctional room. The lobby, with its muted colour palette and coffered ceiling, creates a spacious and welcoming atmosphere for visitors.

The multifunctional zone serves as both a resting area and a study cum informal gathering space for the home’s inhabitants. Furnished with an inviting blue couch and a bar unit enclosed in wooden cabinets, it provides an elegant setting for intimate gatherings and conversations. The interiors evoke a sense of comfort and contentment through a contrasting palette of warm, earthy tones and deep, dark hues.
