Nilaya by Varun Baweja Is An Opulent Sanctuary That Celebrates Extravagance Without Going Overboard

This 13,0000-square-foot luxury villa in Ludhiana, with five en-suite bedrooms and an unparalleled composition of captivating artistic details, fills you with awe. Exuding an ornate sense of style, the house celebrates extravagance without going overboard. The palatial grandeur of Nilaya was born out of the client’s aspiration for an atypical luxury home filled with rich colours, creative use of superior materials and never-before-seen customised design features and comforts. The scope of the project offered a fine medium for VBD’s Founding Director Varun Baweja to express his penchant for maximalism. He thus pushed the boundaries of luxury aesthetics with perfectly blended interiors that spell an exotic flair, boldness and glamour. Creative Director Vanshika’s feminine sensibilities add to the fine balancing of the features resulting in spaces that are a class apart. The partnership works in tandem to evoke sensorial environments that match up to global standards of refinement and sophistication. The design team shared detailed info about the project with SURFACES REPORTER (SR). Scroll down to read:
