"Luxury is when it seems flawless; when you reach the right balance between all elements."
– Jean-Louis Deniot
At The Quarry, we believe that luxury lies in the harmony between the finest natural stones, design composition and a homeowner’s vision.
And the Elle x The Quarry Two-Of-A-Kind series champions this thought through the synergy of curation, innovation and collaboration, bringing exquisite spaces to life.
One such story unfolded in the midst of an urban jungle, Mumbai. Leena and Suresh found their perfect design match in Alpa Shikre, the principal architect at SSA Architects. A connection that formed its roots during the lockdown eventually saw Leena’s home attired with Alpa’s design and created with their joint vision.
GREY MEETS GRANDEUR MEETS A GREAT HOME.
Woven with subtle design, the apartment draws you in with lavish accents and a soothing colour palette that celebrates grey and neutral tones. Alpa Shikre from SSA Architects infuses her expertise of more than 3 decades to give Leena Suresh a home that’s both tranquil and sophisticated. This unison brims with the harmony of several elements that run across the home, striking the perfect balance that Jean-Louis Deniot speaks of.
Alpa and Leena’s mutual love for grey is visible through the little nuanced touches, finishes, textures and certainly the luxury Italian marble curated by The Quarry that serves as the focal point in the design.
BALANCING THE CHAOS OF THE CITY VIEWS WITH THE CALM OF GREY GRIGIO.
When you walk in, it's not the breathtaking city views in concrete but The Quarry curated Grey Grigio flooring that soothes your urban-weary soul. Effortlessly blending different moods of grey on its canvas for you to soak in.
Sourced from Italy and cut and polished by generations of Italian craftsmen, this grey marble sets the palette for the remaining space, without screaming for attention. It uplifts every other element in the room with ease.
PAIRING THE MUTED TONES AND THE CONTRASTING BIANCANERO.
Making a statement in the dining area and entertainment area, this black granite is a complete showstopper. Hailing from South America, Biancanero is 100% natural and drapes the tabletop and the accent wall, bringing alive the shades of night. Its mysterious tone, coupled with the striking contrasts in lighter hues, turns this creation into a conversation starter.
A QUICK PICK OF THE FAVOURITES.
The floral motif is a common favourite of both Alpa and Leena. Be it the door, the lit-up wall, or other public spaces, this motif brings the outdoors indoors in the most unique way. But when it comes to picking personal favourites, Leena seems to be in awe of the serene master bedroom with picturesque views and the intricate Ashoka panel. While Alpa has her heart set on the spectacular Biancanero from The Quarry collection.
But what’s truly transformative is how every element in the home harmonises with the other without any compromise on style or individuality. Such is the power of these collaborations. And this is why The Quarry collection is packed with luxury marble, granite and onyx from around the world to create extraordinary designs.
