When Tanya Mallavarapu Reddy was brought on board to design a home in Chennai, she took the brief to heart. She explains, “The clients wanted to create a beautiful home where they could host big dinners while also enjoy the intimacy of being with a few friends or just family. They wanted something that was contemporary in style but which still felt personal and has warmth.” The project entailed the renovation of the existing space so that there was better, “flow and function”. without losing the essence of the original home that the owners had enjoyed so much. “The dining room was always filled with people coming in at different times of the day, so it kept the kitchen busy and the house bustling,” adds Reddy.
