A testament to opulence, tranquility, and a distinctive design approach, The Ornate Home is crafted by the ingenious minds of Arth Patel, Ravi Dave and Anushi Shah from Studio Invoke. This 8,000 sq ft villa isn’t just a luxurious abode; it’s an immersive experience of serene living. Originally intended as a farmhouse or weekend retreat, The Ornate House transcended its initial purpose to become a permanent sanctuary.
The driving force behind its conception was to offer an atmosphere of calmness and serenity. Aptly named, “Ornate” signifies intricate embellishments, and this house lives up to the definition by seamlessly blending French flair with meticulous detailing.
FRENCH ELEGANCE
While the French theme served as the client’s inspiration, the challenge lay in integrating it into the existing architectural framework. A bold move was made by enveloping the structure in pristine white, nullifying the ornate concept subtly. Every element, from loose furniture and ceiling to columns, lighting, and carvings, silently echoes the intricate theme.
