About the studio02 - Selected Work
Apartment · Pune
A warm, contemporary residence shaped by its relationship with the landscape and the changing light of the day. Rich timber, earthy tones, tactile surfaces and sculptural details create an intimate, layered interior, while expansive windows frame the surrounding hills and invite the golden hues of sunset indoors. The home balances refined detailing with a sense of warmth, calm and connection to its setting.
Villa · Pune
The Solace Residence is a refined villa renovation designed around warmth, light, and timeless living. It transforms an existing structure into a calm, contemporary home layered with natural textures, soft neutrals, and bespoke detailing. The design language balances understated luxury with functionality — from the double-height living volume and custom herringbone wall panels to carefully curated material palettes that create depth without excess. Every element was crafted to feel intentional, elegant, and enduring. This renovation was envisioned for modern family living while maintaining a sense of openness, serenity, and architectural sophistication.

Layered textures, muted greys, and subtle blue accents establish a quiet visual rhythm across the space, while custom joinery and thoughtfully integrated lighting enhance both warmth and functionality. Designed for modern urban living, the residence balances elegance with comfort creating an atmosphere that feels timeless, intimate, and sophisticated without excess.
