THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE THIS HOME

Aptly named A Midnight Serenade, this capacious apartment conceptualised by Eshita Marwah of /e is exemplary for its dramatic yet restrained colour palette as well as its timeless design

We named this home ‘A Midnight Serenade’ for the midnight blues that have found place in this home at multiple places, and which, to us, sing a song of love and beauty! This 5,000 sq ft abode in Surat, Gujarat is a labour of love, designed to evoke emotions and stimulate the senses. Defined by dramatic transition areas and custom creations, the abode encapsulates the needs of a family of seven spanning three generations, executed in collaboration with V-Create Architects and Studio13 PMC.

Initially, the most challenging and exciting part of designing this home was starting with almost no brief. The homeowners placed complete faith in me and gave me free rein to devise the home. While each member of the family has strong design preferences, the homeowners were clear that the spaces should be cohesive. I’ve always believed that the best projects come about when you have great clients, excellent design and execution teams, and creative freedom—and here I had it all!
