The upper level leads to two bedrooms for the couple’s daughters, an additional guest room, and a library gallery that overlooks the living space below. The gallery is among the home’s most revealing spaces, filled with books, curios, and treasured objects accumulated over time. Contemporary artworks sit with heirloom carpets, antiques, textiles, and handcrafted pieces from different parts of India. Nothing feels arranged only for effect. The home has the slower richness of things lived with, moved around, remembered, and kept.
In a home tied so closely to Sarita Handa’s own legacy of textiles, craft, and layered interiors, that thought carries added weight. The Gurgaon penthouse inherits its warmth through objects, its character through use, and its depth through the lives already embedded in it. As Handa says, “The goal was to create a home that genuinely reflected the people who live in it, a home that feels collected rather than decorated, personal rather than prescribed.”
In the powder room, the home briefly changes register, moving into seamless green textured stone across the walls and floor, paired with an artwork the couple bought in Italy.
