Sequestered from the urban hustle-bustle, this New Delhi farmhouse is designed as a serene oasis of art and light, in conversation with the outdoors. The House of Two Spirals is an alchemy of restful spaces, dramatic elements and artful corners. The 24,000 sq.ft. home is composed of courtyards, inner gardens and expansive vistas which stitch the inside and outside together.

The building is defined by a sweeping pitched roof, sloping on either side and interspersed with double volume spaces and skylights. A pair of stunning sculptural staircases become the fulcrum around which the spatial experience revolves, and which also garner the home its name. Clean lines, striking compositions and a curated identity define the mood of this home.

Stepping into the entrance foyer, one is welcomed by a sculptural drawing by Ayesha Singh, rendered as a singular continuous line that travels across the floors, walls, and ceiling. Handpicked sculptural seating elements by Ayush Kasliwal introduce a sense of curiosity within the minimal space, setting the tone for the artistic narrative that follows.

On the ground floor, full-height solid oak wood doors, a combination of white and textured walls, and luxuriant marble flooring come together to form a muted, aesthetic canvas. This level accommodates the expansive formal and family living rooms, along with the dining room and study, creating a seamless flow of shared spaces.

Nestled beneath the inclining expanse of a 16-ft high roof, the study chamber exudes an atmosphere of focus and affable warmth. A resolute wooden study table is anchored by a towering bookshelf in wood and metal, holding books, artefacts, and eclectic art that invite quiet engagement. The iconic Pierre Jeanneret desk chair paired with a grey-blue handwoven rug from Jaipur Rugs brings comfort and balance to the thoughtfully composed space.

Peeking from the double height, the voluminous library offers a quiet refuge for inspiration and contemplation. Wrapped in teal blue walls and warm timber panelling, the space is anchored by a curated anthology of Somnath Hore. One of the house’s two spirals, the staircase unfurls within a 20-foot-tall double volume, with mild steel treads, a floating brass handrail, and a tailor-made brass light casting a warm glow over books and eclectic collectibles.

Arriving via the wood-panelled central spiral staircase, the top floor unfolds like a curated gallery, with a passage layered in usable and framed art. The five bedrooms beyond each exude warmth and individuality, shaped by lightly textured walls, contemporary furniture, and palettes tailored to their inhabitants, creating private sanctuaries defined by quiet sophistication and thoughtful design.

The basement becomes an intimate entertainment space within a grey-greige lime-plastered shell. Upholstery in pale sage, beige and white, paired with brass accents and a delicate brass screen, softens the setting. A reclaimed wood bar against grey stone and corten steel, with focused lighting, anchors the room, while a kinetic work by Ayesha Singh quietly enriches the art narrative.

Adjacent to the foyer, the sunlit formal living room opens toward lush green landscapes. Contemporary furniture anchors the space, layered with a timeless Persian rug and a curated collection of Bengal School artworks that narrate stories of artistry and heritage. Overhead, a constellation of delicate white porcelain leaves by Shweta Mansinghka animates the double-height volume with quiet elegance.

The dining area is awash with soft natural light, its textured walls forming a backdrop for art. Within the grey shell of basalt flooring and lime-washed walls, a comet-like porcelain lighting installation by Shweta Mansinghka makes a striking impact. Suspended above the table, the globular lighting elements, with ochre and lime artwork by Baaraan Ijlal, imbue the space with drama and panache.

The guest suite is a self-contained retreat within the home. It comprises two regular bedrooms and a master bedroom, complemented by its own private living and dining spaces. This zone offers comfort, privacy, and a sense of quiet retreat while remaining connected to the larger narrative of the residence.

Art, eclectic collectibles and curated elements animate every corner of the home, forming a layered visual narrative. A unified colour palette across the basement enhances spatial continuity, while the design orchestrates a refined interplay of texture and restraint throughout.
