Design Story
Design Notes
HSR Layout's DLF Newtown may be an unexpected address for a curated penthouse, but this 3,500
sq ft residence proves that design intention trumps postcode. The owners — a contemporary art
collector and a graphic designer — wanted their home to function as a living gallery where art
and architecture are inseparable. The Premium package delivered the framework. The living room
has gallery-track lighting on a ceiling rail system, allowing artworks to be repositioned
without new nail holes. The kitchen uses a muted sage acrylic with white quartz countertop —
deliberately neutral to avoid competing with the art. Wardrobes across all bedrooms are
flush-fronted in warm grey with push-latch mechanisms — no visible handles interrupting the
clean walls. The entertainment area has a styled listening nook with acoustic-dampened side
panels and display shelving for vinyl. The terrace hosts a sculpture plinth and weatherproof
seating. Cove ceiling with adjustable colour-temperature LEDs. Completed in 75 days.

When the Home Is a Living Gallery — the Architecture Must Know How to Step Back
Designing for an art collector requires a particular kind of discipline: the interior must be considered enough to hold the collection with authority, but restrained enough to never compete with it. Every surface is a backdrop, every lighting decision a curation choice. If your penthouse is home to work that deserves gallery conditions, we know how to create them without sacrificing the warmth of a home.
