At first glance, this Hyderabad home felt like just another cookie-cutter row house in a villa community—short on natural light and privacy. However, for Ameet Mirpuri, founder of Design Studio, the solution was clear: revamp the layout to unlock its true potential. “Reimagining the space was key to making it feel more open and liveable,” he says.
The client came in with a clear but flexible vision: a fusion of styles. They wanted light, airy colours but weren’t afraid of edgy elements. The challenge was to blend different design elements into a cohesive aesthetic. “They loved the idea of a neo-classical shell with contemporary furniture, but with an underlying Indian essence," Mirpuri remarks. The final design evolved around this eclectic fusion, prioritising open spaces and family connectivity. “We focused on enhancing the 3D visualisation we initially presented,” explains the designer.
The Hyderabad home also had to function as a party pad, which led to a transformation from five bedrooms to four. The top floor houses the party space and two guest rooms, while the first floor has a family living room, the six-year-old daughter's bedroom, and a master suite with a gaming room. The ground floor was opened up to create two expansive living areas, a dining room, and a kitchen, lending the home a bright and airy feel. “Basically the clients love their private lifestyle and it’s only the three of them at home,” discloses the designer. “Hence the open spaces, and the fact that both primary bedrooms on the first floor are connected to each other. The soundproof gaming room is attached to the master bedroom. "
Touches That Make The Design Sing
Details like the striped inlay at the entrance visually set the tone for the entire space. “We wanted to make a subtle statement with the vintage-style black main door,” says Mirpuri. The marble staircase, which twists gracefully up the wall, became a defining feature of the house, but a bold red cast-iron railing makes it a standout visual experience for guests.
The second-floor powder room stands out with its daring black-and-red colour scheme. Throughout the home, the colour palette plays with contrasts: light hues mixed with touches of pink and green for softer areas, and bolder black and red shades in the party pad.
Customisation And Artistic Flair
Customisation played a central role in the project. Every piece of furniture was designed with a specific colour, size, and style in mind. “We worked closely with Within Design, known for their India-modern edge, to ensure the furniture was cohesive, lively, and unique,” shares Mirpuri. Each piece was crafted with individuality in mind, with no two items repeating the same design while still maintaining a harmonious flow. Art and craftsmanship also played a huge role in creating the home’s distinct character. From the custom pillars in the puja room crafted by Ramana in Visakhapatnam to wooden artwork sourced from Jaipur through the Eastern Art Museum, each piece contributed to the home’s luxe yet grounded aesthetic.
A Harmonious Blend
In the end, this villa became a seamless blend of neo-classical elegance, modern functionality, and Indian heritage. The use of custom furniture, curated art, and thoughtful details throughout the space resulted in a cohesive and truly unique home that reflects both the designer’s and client’s vision. “Every design decision was made to enhance the home’s character and meet the client’s needs,” concludes Mirpuri. The eclectic sourcing and the attention to detail in this project brought a fresh, luxurious feel to the space, proving that a smart redesign can completely transform even the most standard of spaces.
