A colonial façade dressed in local hands — leather puppetry art and Lepakshi motifs worked into every screen and surface.

JK Restaurant borrows its silhouette from the colonial-era buildings along this stretch of highway, then hands the detailing to Rayalaseema’s own craftsmen — puppetry-inspired leatherwork and the temple iconography of Lepakshi carried into jaalis, panels and reliefs throughout.

Built on the Hyderabad–Bangalore highway near Penukonda, once a seat of the Vijayanagara empire.

The restaurant is conceived as a deliberate pause for travellers on that road — particularly the riders drawn here on the Penukonda motorcycle trip — a place that carries the region’s Vijayanagar history rather than sitting apart from it.

Black Kadapa stone and Madanapalle terracotta, both sourced close to site.

The dark, textured mass of local Kadapa stone grounds the building, while Madanapalle terracotta carries its ornament — screens, reliefs and detail worked by artisans from the surrounding region.

One home, many stories — each room given its own artistic character, held together by a modern, coherent language.

The isometric cut-away sets the scene: from there, every space develops a distinct mood — a chinoiserie gold-leaf master suite, a tropical arched guest room, a serene tree-mural bedroom, an epoxy river dining table framing an Om-lit pooja niche. Modern lines, artisanal materials and warm cove lighting keep the apartment unmistakably one family’s, room by room.

Leadership, discipline and institutional values, translated into a room — ordered, dignified and quietly inspiring.

The design pairs a formal conference table with a warmer lounge setting, framed by illuminated trophy cabinets and the school crest on a book-matched marble feature wall. Gold-lined coffered ceilings, fluted panelling and a disciplined material palette of marble, walnut and soft neutrals give the Principal’s office the sense of authority and calm the institution stands for.

A European sensibility, rendered for the tropics — pitched tile roofs, arched carriage porches and clapboard façades reimagined for coastal living.

Horizon Bay is a real-estate venture at Chirala conceived as a complete beachside neighbourhood rather than a single building. The design draws directly on European villa and townhouse traditions, then adapts them to the warmth and light of the Andhra coast — generous verandahs, stone-clad plinths and hydrangea-filled front gardens that soften every street.

Two home types, one language — standalone villas and terraced row houses that share a roofline, a palette and a rhythm.

Tree-lined avenues, period street lamps and continuous garden setbacks give the community the feel of a mature European quarter from day one, while arched garages and private forecourts keep each home distinctly its own.

A cluster of tropical cottages set into lush gardens, each a private world with its own verandah, light and outlook.

Shingle-roofed bungalows with timber trellises and coconut-palm courts draw on a relaxed, resort vocabulary — local craft and honest materials root the stay in its place. At its heart sits a waterside recreational area for parties and outdoor functions: thatched gazebos and an open lawn edged by a boardwalk over water, made for celebrations, gatherings and events under the open sky.

A cottage interior rooted in South Indian craft — Chettinad-style carved wood, caned rattan and Pichwai art, composed with restraint.

Rattan-fronted wardrobes, a caned timber ceiling and hand-carved headboard pelmets carry the tradition, while Pichwai cow paintings and warm teak tones give each room its cultural story. Neutral walls, natural textures and clean lines keep the palette simple and elegant — heritage detailing without clutter.

A classical villa interior in deep jewel tones — panelled walls, marble floors and rich burgundy upholstery, warmed by layered light.

From a double-height living room in tufted velvet to a moody music room, a curved champagne bar and a compact modular kitchen, each space is detailed with wall mouldings, cove lighting and bespoke joinery. Shown here as design renders alongside the on-site execution.

A calm home in a soft pastel palette — powder blues, warm whites and smooth finishes that quiet the mind.

Gentle pastel tones, matte and marble surfaces and clean, seamless detailing make the apartment feel restful and uncluttered. Layered cove lighting, a wood-inlay false ceiling and considered storage keep every space serene and easy to live in \u2014 shown here as design renders alongside the finished home.

A European palace, brought to Hindupur — a temple-front portico, Classical columns and crystal chandeliers that turn every wedding into an occasion of state.

The hall is conceived as a grand estate rather than a banquet room. A pedimented, sculpted marble façade and colonnaded entrance greet guests beneath glittering chandeliers; mosaic-cobbled courts, a columned garden pavilion and a reflecting water feature carry the palatial theme through every ceremony. The intent is singular — that a couple marrying here feels received in a European palace.

The fortified walls and ceremonial gateways of Vijayanagara, reimagined as the identity of a residential layout.

Balari takes its cues from Hampi’s imperial architecture — a domed, elephant-flanked entrance gate, crenellated compound walls with arched jaali niches, and a Classical-fountain garden court. That heritage vocabulary frames an otherwise contemporary plotted development, giving buyers a gated address with a sense of arrival and permanence rooted in the region’s own history.
