STRIKING A FINE BALANCE

Interior designer Shreenu Mukherjee was previously commissioned by Ritu Kalra to design a café interior project (currently known as Koko Pizzeria), built in 2015. Owing to the formidable success of this earlier collaboration, the Kalra family again approached Shreenu to design their new 3,500sq ft, condominium residence interiors at Gurugram. The client's brief was simple and straightforward. The family desired a comfortable and functional homemade with natural materials while ensuring sturdy, robust detailing for longevity. Since there was a pre-established sense of faith and trust in their chosen designer, the client encouraged Shreenu to approach this project with a free hand by giving her 'carte blanche'. In keeping with her design firm, The Vrindavan Project's signature aesthetic, this interior design process evolved over a period of one and a half years to embody a distinct gracefulness.
