When a large joint family sought a home that could hold memories across generations, A Square Designs created Footprints, a triplex residence that seamlessly intertwines art, legacy, and modern-day living. Designed for the Jalan family, this seven-bedroom home unfolds across three expansive floors like a beautifully curated tale. At its heart lies a double-height living space that instantly captivates, not only for its dramatic scale but also for its compelling art. The mix of classical silhouettes and contemporary furnishings sets the tone for a space where comfort meets timelessness. Nature peeks in through oversized windows, while layered textures, intricate inlays, and handcrafted partitions enrich every passage. From formal lounges to playful kids’ zones, every corner has been shaped with thoughtfulness and warmth. The home reflects a soulful harmony where each material, wall finish, and curated corner speaks of lived elegance and emotional resonance.
