Warm timber interior with Himalayan peaks visible beyond the windows

Projects

Homes we have furnished, one room at a time.

A small portfolio, by choice. We take a limited number of commissions each year so each one receives the workshop's full attention.

Selected Work

Each commission has its own logic.

Below, three recent projects with their brief, materials, making and timeline. Further work is documented privately and shared on request.

The Valley House — bespoke Ardevae interior
01 · 2025

The Valley House

Private Residence · Dehradun

A house built into a slope, with every principal room facing the ridge. The furniture had to sit low enough to keep the view uninterrupted from a seated position.

Design Brief
Furnish the living, dining and study levels as one continuous material story, without a single piece bought off a shelf.
Materials Used
Himalayan-sourced walnut, oak, natural linen, brushed brass
Craftsmanship
Hand-cut mortise and tenon frames, oiled rather than lacquered so the grain stays open to the touch.
