Creating A New Design Narrative

Designer Duo Raj and Devika Khosla's serene home named `Treetops' showcase their design ideologies.

A designer's home is one of the most challenging spaces to design, especially when there are two designers. Reminiscing the days when a lack of options for furniture pieces led to the establishment of their design studio The Works Interiors', the designer duo at TWI, Raj and Devika Khosla, manifest their new home as an extension of their personalities and choices. TWI comes to a full circle with this 1,800 sq ft home, starting from the founder's first home to this new home, aptly called Treetops, where endless visuals of the tops of trees, along with the chirping of the birds, seep indoors through large windows and the balconies.

Located on the 2nd floor of a luxurious apartment in Delhi, beside a park with lush green trees, the residence is home to a small family of three and their golden retriever. Carrying the narrative of their establishment and work ethos forward, and staying true to the idea of a home as a haven that radiates calmness, Treetops is handcrafted with a lot of love- for travel, the ocean, books and family, all of which emanate from manifold design elements in this residence.

The spatial layout of this three-bedroom home is an open plan barred from any forms of visual or physical partitions, where the furniture and decor layout demarcate the space based on functionality. The material and the colour palette of this home uniquely distance itself from any trends and instead chooses to exhibit a neutral grey palette as an ode to the vast green visuals of the outside. However, to avoid a monotonous aesthetic, the space is endowed with an array of textures in the same hues that manifest a dynamic space.
