The architectural program is characterized by a high-contrast relationship between its exterior and interior identities. A geometric, modern facade composed of cantilevered stone-clad volumes gives way to an opulent internal environment defined by French neoclassical influences. Inside, the spatial sequence is organized around a double-height foyer and a central outdoor waterfall that acts as a primary cooling and atmospheric element. By utilizing these sky-high volumes and sculpted Greek pillars, Boparai establishes an expansive domestic landscape that balances communal social zones with culturally specific spaces.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1178943 lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"simran boparai completes prabh-te-ras residence balancing marble, murals and modernity - 1\" width=\"818\" height=\"545\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/simran-boparai-prabh-te-ras-residence-designboom-01.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>Simran Boparai completes Prabh-Te-Ras residence | all images courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/sdarch.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">SD Archtelier<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2,300 SQUARE METERS OF EXECUTED LUXURY<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Architect Simran Boparai leads <a href=\"https:\/\/sdarch.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">her practice<\/a>, SD Archtelier (SBA), with a commitment to the coexistence of visionary creativity and construction precision.

This structural grandeur is modulated by heritage-driven details like Bastar-crafted teak ceilings, which provide a tactile warmth and create contrast with the white-and-gold architectural moldings. Organized into distinct zones, the spatial program ranges from expansive communal areas with opulent chandeliers to private quarters featuring large-scale botanical murals, which serve as narrative-driven focal points, adding layers of depth and texture to the vertical planes.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1178945 lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"simran boparai completes prabh-te-ras residence balancing marble, murals and modernity - 3\" width=\"818\" height=\"955\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/simran-boparai-prabh-te-ras-residence-designboom-03.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>the residence spans over 2,300 square meters<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the residence, the material palette prioritizes high-precision finishes and thoughtful materiality, emphasizing a royal identity. Book-matched marble flooring creates a symmetrical flow that complements the wainscoting on the walls while the monolithic black stone waterfall introduces white noise and a cooling element to the outdoor patio. Boparai\u2019s sense of scale is masterfully balanced by moments of intimacy, notably in the sacred pooja room which grounds the home with cultural and spiritual depth. By layering Indian craftsmanship with maximalist accents and Art Deco flourishes, the home delivers a generational statement that is as architecturally disciplined as it is emotionally resonant.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1178946 lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"simran boparai completes prabh-te-ras residence balancing marble, murals and modernity - 4\" width=\"818\" height=\"545\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/simran-boparai-prabh-te-ras-residence-designboom-04.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>the formal lounge is defined by coffered ceilings, anchored by a maximalist gold-leaf feature wall<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1178947 lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"simran boparai completes prabh-te-ras residence balancing marble, murals and modernity - 5\" width=\"818\" height=\"955\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/simran-boparai-prabh-te-ras-residence-designboom-05.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>modern Neoclassicism meets bold geometry in the entryway<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1178948 lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"simran boparai completes prabh-te-ras residence balancing marble, murals and modernity - 6\" width=\"818\" height=\"955\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/simran-boparai-prabh-te-ras-residence-designboom-06.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>the dining area demonstrates a sophisticated eclecticism, pairing a zebra-print rug with a stately marble-topped table<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1178949 lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"simran boparai completes prabh-te-ras residence balancing marble, murals and modernity - 7\" width=\"818\" height=\"955\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/simran-boparai-prabh-te-ras-residence-designboom-07.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>the foyer features a cascading statement chandeliers set against expansive Chinoiserie murals<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"INSIDE RABH-TE-RAS RESIDENCE BY SIMRAN BOPARAI \u00a0 Spanning over 2,300 square meters in Raipur, India, the Prabh-te-Ras residence&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":314167,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[21463,437,434,435,436,438,146,85,46,451],"class_list":["post-314166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-architecture-in-india","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-artsdesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-residential-architecture-and-interiors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=314166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314166\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/314167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=314166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=314166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=314166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
