<image:caption>The home studio prioritises ample natural light and ventilation. Rural aesthetics suited to Chennai’s climate and various local handicrafts have been given prominence. With an earthy colour palette, the interiors feature cane, thick wood, and handwoven fibre and linen materials.</image:caption>

<image:caption>The couple has given old objects a prominent place in the home, repurposing them in new ways. In this section of the studio lounge, an old door has been transformed into a coffee table. A traditional Jaipur rug also adds to the decor.</image:caption>
