Set within a beautifully landscaped, half-acre property in Hyderabad’s upscale Jubilee Hills locality, this villa was designed for the promoters of a well-known diagnostics chain. Bobby Mukherrji Architects crafted a built-form and interior design language that is unapologetically modern, yet possesses an enduring beauty that resists stylistic trends. The plush, immersive interiors are articulated using a bouquet of rich materials and elements: veneer, timber, Italian marble, and leather, alongside striking chandeliers from Prague and furniture from Milan.
Surface finishing techniques lend textural drama to the spatial compositions, amplifying the intrinsic beauty of these materials. The home features two living rooms; one for formal entertaining and another for family congregations. Unexpected material applications appear in the ceilings, where one volume is lined with wood, and the other with woven leather. A double-height, light-filled volume on the ground floor evokes the traditional courtyard, dramatized by beautiful chandeliers.
The villa enjoys a close connection to nature; ground-floor rooms segue into green spaces via expansive decks. Two of the four bedrooms are designed as master suites with commodious sleeping areas and equally spacious bathrooms. The Reddy residence stands testimony to the skills of the Indian craftsman: materials were sourced from Europe but installed by Bobby Mukherrji Architects' talented workforce of woodworkers and stone masons. The end result is an impeccable, luxurious, contemporary, and timeless residence.
