CURATED READS

This Chennai home houses a museum-worthy collection of art and antiques

It’s easy to forget that this home is in the heart of hot and humid Chennai. Down a little cul-de-sac off a busy thoroughfare, the house sits between two other buildings amidst a thicket of trees. You’d imagine it would be dingy—instead, it feels almost radiant. In part, this is due to the bright Chennai sun that is ingeniously channelled into the space, but the airiness and colour are also courtesy its designer Soumya Keshavan and architect Fabian Ostner.
