This Minimalist Gurugram Duplex ​​is a study in Understated Luxury

New Delhi-based design firm Essentia Environments conceptualised the interiors of real estate developer Deepak Kanodia’s second home—a 7,800 sq ft duplex in a gated community in Gurugram, Haryana. The home is for his family of four. Kanodia loved Essentia Environments’s trademark design aesthetic of clean lines, sleek proportions, tactile surfaces and sumptuous materials and wanted his home to reflect the same. “I have admired Essentia Environments’s design style for quite some time. I wanted the same look, but I wanted the interiors to ‘pop,’” Kanodia reveals. “It’s great that the apartment takes care of all our needs in an aesthetically pleasing manner. I also love that the apartment is luxurious and seamlessly connects to the verdant terrace. My favourite parts of the home are the stylish bathrooms that overlook the greenery outside,” he adds.
