A formal residence in old Delhi, composed in the classical language — statuary marble, dark walnut joinery and geometric stone floors carrying the calm authority of a townhouse built to last.
The Civil Lines House reworks a stately home in one of Delhi's oldest quarters into a sequence of poised, ceremonial rooms. Panelled walls in warm ivory meet solid walnut French doors; brass fixtures and hand-blown glass warm the cooler marbles. The material palette is disciplined and enduring — statuary and Nero marble, aged brass, dark timber — so proportion and craftsmanship carry each space.
Detail is where the house speaks quietest. A black-and-white geometric marble floor draws the eye through the entrance foyer; a powder room is clad wall-to-ceiling in book-matched marble, lit by an ornate chandelier and a bamboo-brass mirror. Turned-timber consoles, framed art and collected objects give the formality a lived-in, personal grain.
