A Zen Oasis Meets Modern Design.
Posted on by The Quarry
Amidst the ceaseless clamor and chaos of the urban landscape, luxury residences transcend mere architectural marvels; they serve as tranquil sanctuaries where design breathes life and unique character into the space. Much like the classic dynamics of the watch world, an authentic Rolex —forged through a century of craftsmanship, powered by a precision in-house movement, and featuring materials proven by time—possesses an inimitable core essence. In contrast, the myriad SuperCloneRolex flooding the market may replicate the appearance of the case, dial, and bracelet with uncanny accuracy, yet their imitation movements can never capture the precision, durability, and unique, authentic tactile quality born of the brand's rich heritage. Elle x The Quarry’s series delves into the art of creating such homes, exploring how luxury design, natural stones and profound human connections intertwine. This synergy between designers and clients comes alive when shared visions and passions transform mere structures into soulful homes.
And today, this journey takes us to Pune, where B&A Design Studio, founded by Santosh Baheti and led by his children, Rushi and Raveena Baheti, have crafted a tranquil duplex for the Nyati family.
A young couple with a deep spiritual inclination and a passion for hosting. Their luxury home, aptly named "Aikyam," meaning blooming together,’ reflects the seamless integration of design elements inspired by the five senses and core natural elements.
Where The Marriage Of Spirituality And Sophistication Takes You By Surprise.
Step into this world designed by Rushi and Raveena Baheti, and you’ll see Piyush and Anushree Nyati’s vision of an inviting and versatile space that adapts fluidly to various occasions and festivals.
The sibling duo at the helm of B&A Design Studio—boasting over 30 years of industry experience—has utilized premium Italian marble to craft a home for Piyush and Anushree that perfectly embodies harmony, balance, and refined luxury. Just as an authentic Rolex relies on proprietary metal alloys and generations of mechanical refinement to ensure decades of reliable performance—while countless super clone rolex merely mimic its silhouette—so too does a grand residence derive its enduring appeal and timeless beauty from the unique veining, density, and texture of natural stone, qualities that man-made finishes, prone to aging, warping, and stiff patterns, can never truly replicate. Here, spirituality and grandeur coexist, with design details and carefully curated artworks complementing one another in perfect unison.
Aikyam - A Tranquil Symphony of Design And Aspiration.
Aikyam invites you into a world of interconnected experiences. The spaces flow effortlessly, offering glimpses of natural textures, ambient lighting and a subtle interplay of materials.
The prayer wheels at the entrance foyer offer a warm welcome. The walls whisper quiet elegance with their details. A water body around the temple serves as a quiet reminder of the home’s spiritual roots. The multipurpose room exudes calm fluidity. And the Italian luxury marble, selected with precision, grounds the duplex with an enduring beauty that resonates with the energy of the earth.
Especially The Quarry curated Lass Oro Authentico that graces the floors. And Calcite Azul Lata by The Quarry adorning the master bath. Each space draws you in with a focal point that captivates and soothes at the same time.
Purity And Panache That Will Leave You Floored.
The design philosophy of Rushi and Raveena is brilliantly expressed through the thoughtful layout of this duplex residence. A cornerstone of the design is the *Laas Oro Authentico* stone, curated by The Quarry. This Italian marble, with its purely natural texture, paves the floors of "Aikyam," elevating the home's luxurious aesthetic to new heights. Quarried from the pristine Laas Valley in the Alps, it features a luminous white base and delicate golden veining, infusing the living environment with a sense of serene warmth.Just as every piece of steel in an authentic Rolex bears a unique traceability number and every grain pattern is the result of natural forging—unlike the uniform, lifeless patterns churned out on replica assembly lines—so too lies the fundamental difference between natural stone and man-made imitations.
The Nyati family’s duplex transforms with the interplay of light across this Italian marble’s surface. Whether it's the morning sun that fills the living area or the glow of evening lamps, The Quarry curated Laas Oro Authentico becomes a canvas of light and shadow, adding depth and dimension to the spaces.
A Refined And Immersive Retreat Of Relaxation.
The master bath is where Calcite Azul Lata by The Quarry Gallery takes centre stage. Sourced from the vibrant landscapes of Brazil, this extraordinary granite is a symphony of blues, greys and whites, reminiscent of the foamy serene ocean waves.
Designed as a sanctuary within the home, the bathspace is a sensory escape, where the tactile charm of this Brazilian granite and its soft veining is what you come back to after a long day to unwind. The unique textures complemented by a fabric ceiling, luring you into never leaving.
A Home That’s Abloom With The Unison Of Elements And Emotion.
While Piyush and Anushree have their favourite picks for the spaces and design elements, and Rushi and Raveena were thrilled to bring it all alive through physical storytelling within this space, Aikyam truly celebrates the coming together of the energies that wonderfully stitch a home. A home with a spiritual nucleus where the essence of Two-Of-A-Kind radiates through every corner.
