This five-level luxury farmhouse in Chattarpur Farms, Delhi, brings the individualistic style of its owner, Rishabh Kapoor, Director of architecture and design firm Design Deconstruct. The house displays a certain flamboyance and larger-than-life attitude, peppered with unorthodox design elements. Think, floating crystal art piece in the ceiling, paintings hanging from the ceiling, ceiling-to–floor chandeliers and statement-making furniture pieces,life-sized paintings and sculptures. Monica Chadha, Director and Principal Designer, Design Deconstruct worked with Rishabh to create its unique aesthetics. “We aspire to create spaces which are a delight visually, but also relatively easy to maintain in the long run. Our focus was to have clean aesthetics and uncluttered space,” she says. The team has shared more details about this magnificent project with SURFACES REPORTER (SR). Take a look:

The space is designed to keep the family’s requirement to entertain guests in small and big numbers, both formally and informally. The family also wanted clear demarcation between public and private spaces to ensure privacy, and as well as efficient management of the housekeeping duties by the staff.
Bold architectural features like massive double-height decks with balconies within, offering an airy feel, as well as panoramic views; and double-height ceiling on the second floor introducing enormous spatial volume within, give the home its extravagant character.
“We wanted a space that is opulent, yet practical,” says Rishabh, about the inspiration behind this five-level sprawling farmhouse.
Welcoming Entrance
Entering the home on the upper ground level, a giant meditative Buddha statue welcomes the visitors.
This floor comprises a study, pantry and a small lounge.
With its bare plastered walls, open ceilings exposing the HVAC ducts and epoxy finished flooring, the lounge exudes a chic urban industrial charm.
Drawing Room, Kitchen and Dining Area
The first floor houses the formal drawing room, dining and the main kitchen. The drawing room is fitted with two clusters of seating, with a grand piano lighting up a corner.

It’s features like this one and artworks by Ramachandranadd an exclusive touch to the decor. There is also a stunning console made of brass and amethyst with a glorious chandelier hanging over it.

Master Bedrooms Lie on the Second and Third Floors
The residential quarters are housed on the second and third floors. The second floor has two master bedrooms both of which have separate walk-in wardrobes and washrooms.
The rooms are well above 60 sq meters each, plus the wardrobes and dressers. The master bedrooms are adorned with artworks by Seema Kohli.
A double-height family lounge that allows access to the serenely done-up pooja room is the highlight of the second floor. A 26-ft wall paneling comprising marble, veneer, steel, solid wood cornice decorates the lounge, while wooden flooring adds warmth.
The third-floor houses a master bedroom with an en suite bath and walk-in wardrobe. It also has two guest rooms both overlooking the beautiful landscaping.
The passage on the third floor looks down to the lounge on the second floor allowing for constant interaction between the two floors.
Luxury Recreation and Entertainment Area in the Lower Ground Floor
The lower ground floor is set aside for recreation and entertaining with an indoor swimming pool, a party hall with a massive drop-down screen and a karaoke system, a bar, a full-fledged gym with a steam and sauna, a salon with a massage bed and a shampoo station and also a 10-seater home theatre with automated recliners, where the family catches up over its love for the movies and major sporting events.
Finished with statuario marble, the staircase has a lean rose gold railing, and is illuminated with elegant cove lighting.
Most of the furniture has been custom-made by Design Deconstruct at their in-house manufacturing facility, which allows flexibility in style and proportion.
It is with this kind of control over every area of the design process that the designers achieve a distinctive appeal.
