Multiculturalism in a microcosm – my home is an homage to our love for travel, a respect and appreciation for the belief systems of many faiths, an abiding love for Indian everyday objects and a passion for rocks and fossils. ‘Ithaka’, a much-loved poem about a mythical destination of the mind and the spirit, has always deeply resonated with me and my way of thinking about life, travelling and research, which inform my particular design philosophy and practice. A love of Constantine Cavafy’s poems began when I made the first of my 60 visits to Egypt, among them to many Egyptian cities that included Alexandria; and Cavafy was the ‘poet of the city’. I am familiar with the physical landscape of his poems – the Levant and the great Hellenic sites in Greece and the Anatolian coast of Turkey. I have always believed that travel expands one’s mindscape and adds to one’s design vocabulary’.
