Delhi-based interior design firm Beyond Designs has transformed a traditional holiday home into a luxurious and art-filled retreat in Jaipur. Spread over 22,000 sq ft, the property includes the main residence and an adjacent structure that houses a bar and library. Nestled amid six acres of lush green land and a pool, the property offers a serene and secluded haven for its inhabitants.
Designed by Sachin and Neha of Beyond Designs, the interiors blend classic and modern elements to create a timeless and charming atmosphere. The designers have given their signature maximalist style a new twist by setting a clean and neutral backdrop for the captivating drama they unleash in the foreground. The result is a refreshing and uplifting symphony of diverse styles and idioms of design.
The designers mix materials, textures, and finishes audaciously, creating a rich composition that takes the eye from one feature to another. Earthy notes set off opulent accents, and the vast selection of materials fashioned to add immense interest to the interiors. The furniture, lights, wall panels, and mirrors are specially crafted in-house by Beyond Designs, giving shape to the unique vision of the designers for the expansive holiday home.
The eye-catching curation of artworks is another main attraction of the home. The selection varies from the scaled-up, statement-making mythological ones to the charming contemporary ones to monochromatic ones, with some original canvases thrown in. The accessories sourced from around the world add diverse moods from elegant to playful to quirky.
The double-height living room is airy with a white palette, where a vibrant selection of artworks, furniture, and soft furnishings add colour, character, and warmth. An eye-catching bunch of crystal and brass lights crown the dining space like a jewel. Raw wooden panelling offers a sober backdrop to the high-voltage proceedings. The table is a work of art, showcasing intricate paisley inlay work with MoP highlights.
As in all their projects, the bar is the pièce de résistance where style and glamour are taken to a new level. The bedrooms are more contemporary, decorated with lively modern artworks and classical touches. The exteriors too see an eclectic fusion of materials and styles. While the wooden pillars and sloped roofs are reminiscent of southern architecture, native pink stone pillars ground them in the regional context. Large stone sculptures strewn across the landscape bring the design scheme together in an idiom that is full of character.
Beyond Designs collaborated with architect Lt. Pradeep Sachdeva for the project. This was his last project before passing away in 2020, making it an even more meaningful and poignant tribute to his legacy. The exquisitely crafted furniture, wall panels, lights, and doors created specifically for the project by Beyond Designs, along with the specially curated artworks, accessories, cushions, and dinnerware by Beyond Designs Home, are a testament to the firm’s dedication to creating unique and exceptional interiors.
The blend of traditional architecture and contemporary interiors is a hallmark of Beyond Designs’ work, and the Jaipur holiday home is an example of their expertise. The firm’s signature maximalist style is evident in every aspect of the design, from the mix of materials to the eye-catching curation of artworks. The result is a luxurious and art-filled retreat that is both elegant and playful, a testament to the firm’s dedication to creating interiors that are as unique as they are beautiful.
