Carefully crafted interiors, redolent with sophistication and charm are at the heart of this home that belongs to Asha and Rajiv in Edmonton, Canada.
The outside temperature varying from -40 degrees in winter to 22 degrees in summer does not affect the inmates. Warm colours that give cozy comfort in winter and grey and white allowing cool tranquillity in summer, complement the interiors of this mansion.
An abundance of natural light highlights the tastefully displayed objects of art, be it a sculpture, painting or exclusive vases.
The red door at the entrance ushers you into a spacious living room that has a Study and Bar on the left and Bedrooms on the right. The Stairwell in the centre that itself is an elegant piece of sculpture shows the way to richly furnished entertainment area overlooking the steep view lined with old sturdy trees.
Firmly connected with his roots, Rajiv possesses a huge Natraj in bronze against a stone-clad niche outside the master bedroom. The Natraj is so cleverly placed that it can be viewed from all the rooms.
The red sofas in the bar blend well with the abstract red and yellow pattern on rug and a painting above one of them.
Straight-line furniture of the Sitting
and Dining room allows the space to complement the classic perfection.
A huge kitchen boasts of flawless usage of gadgets that a house-proud hostess can dream of.
The glazed outdoor extension is undoubtedly everyone’s favourite place to laze, chat and enjoy barbecue. This place witnesses snowclad trees in winter and a heart soothing orange sunset in summer.
With an emulsion of tradition and contemporary features, this classic house can never age like its inmates.
