Demystifying a charming slice of India's colonial past. Illustrating impeccably nuanced design ideologies and aesthetics. Enriched in India's rich textile grandeur and reminiscent of Kerala's cultural history. "This home is an endearing gift from a father to his daughter," describes Meera Pyarelal, Founder and Interior Designer, Temple Town, referring to the 5,000 sq ft home owned by gold baron Joy Alukkas in the picturesque city of Kochi. Boasting of nine thoughtfully designed spaces, from the entrance lobby leading to the foyer, which makes its way into the drawing-room, dining area, and kitchen, which is equipped with a breakfast station. A long corridor lined by the master bedroom, another winter-blue bedroom and a media room lead to the more private spaces of the apartment that it outlined with slivers of history, exuding a fascinating blend of design classics.
