Designer Tanya Mallavarapu's vision for this 7,000-square-foot home is characterised by a mid-century revival, layering traditional with modern, and infusing colour.
Situated in the heart of Boat Club, Chennai, a quiet residential neighbourhood enveloped in tree cover, is a 7,000-square-foot home that yearned for a fresh start. Spanning three floors, the residence houses large, airy rooms with massive windows that bring in plenty of natural light and beautifully frame the lush gardens it is set amidst. The house underwent a massive transformation to embody the client’s personality and cater to their daily living requirements and their love for entertaining. “The homeowner’s gracious hospitality, with a side of fun, is where our concept for the home began,” designer Tanya Mallavarapu explains. Her approach injected a sense of youthful energy and vibrancy into the space while respecting and preserving its structural and functional integrity.
