The Story: What the Family Needed
Dr. & Mrs. Chatterjee, having returned to Kolkata after 12 years in London, purchased this South City apartment. They desired an uncluttered modern aesthetic with clean lines, British heritage warm lighting, and a kitchen optimized for both family baking and hosting weekend dinner parties.
Project Scope: Foyer entrance gallery, acoustically-isolated living room, quartz island kitchen, master suite with walk-in wardrobe, balcony botanical lounge.
3 Major Problems & How We Solved Them
High-Altitude Wind Pressure & Balcony Noise
The 26th-floor balcony suffered from whistling high-speed winds and street noise from Prince Anwar Shah Road below.
Installed double-glazed DGU sliding acoustic systems with multi-point perimeter compression seals and built a protected botanical breakfast nook.
Dark, Tunnel-Like Central Foyer
The original entry corridor received zero natural daylight and felt narrow and unwelcoming.
Removed non-loadbearing hallway drywall, introduced fluted glass pivot partitions, and recessed 2700K perimeter cove lighting.
Monsoon Moisture Along South-Facing Windows
Heavy south-westerly monsoon rains had historically caused bubbling under standard window sills.
Installed water-jet-cut solid Italian quartz sills with integrated drip-stop groves and waterproof epoxy grout backing.
What We Did: Step-by-Step Execution
- Crafted a bespoke quartz waterfall-edge modular kitchen with soft-close tandem drawers from Blum.
- Custom-built floor-to-ceiling smoked eucalyptus veneer wardrobes with concealed warm LED strip illumination.
- Applied breathable lime plaster wall treatments in the formal living room to regulate Kolkata summer indoor temperatures naturally.
- Delivered turnkey handover in exactly 60 working days with zero punch-list items remaining.
