The Story: What the Family Needed
A traditional Kolkata business family wanted a calm, spacious home with a dedicated tranquil pooja mandir, separate study zones for their college-going children, and breezy lake views from the living balcony.
Project Scope: Panoramic lake framing, corrosion-resistant hardware, backlit onyx mandir, breakfast bar, walk-in closets.
3 Major Problems & How We Solved Them
Damp Lake Air Causing Hardware Rust
Humid lake breezes caused standard kitchen wire baskets and door hinges to rust within two years.
Specified 100% SS-304 medical-grade stainless steel kitchen pullouts and electroplated marine brass fittings that never corrode.
Awkward Pillar in the Living Hall
A massive structural concrete column was right in the middle of the lake view.
Clad the column in warm fluted acoustic timber slats with hidden indirect cove lights, turning an eye-sore into a chic architectural centerpiece.
Need for a Peaceful, Modern Pooja Mandir
Wanted a sacred prayer zone that felt holy and private without clashing with the sleek modern living room.
Crafted a dedicated mandir niche with translucent backlit onyx marble and laser-cut sacred brass jaali screens.
What We Did: Step-by-Step Execution
- Opened up the balcony with floor-to-ceiling slim-profile sliding glass doors to maximize lake views.
- Customized a breakfast bar between the kitchen and dining area for relaxed morning coffees.
- Built dual his-and-hers walk-in closets with integrated ventilation in the master suite.
- Installed a central water softener system to protect plumbing fixtures from hard water scaling.
