3 JOR BAGH

A guest home for company directors was planned in the heart of New Delhi, opposite the Lodhi Gardens. Already rich with history and the wealth of old memories, vintage art deco furniture and objects, both ancestral and acquired have been added to create the glory of the past in a contemporary setting. Art deco design accents also feature in the architecture to encapsulate the same language as well as the curious mix of modern and heritage art. The greatest find was a massive collection of valuable books, some with official letters still inside, for which a large library was created. Each book found a place and has a story to tell and the old letters were tied up and displayed within a bell-jar, all adding to the rich heritage.
