Arasu Residence

The Arasu family wanted a home that felt rooted — not themed, not literal, but quietly Tamil in its bones. We led with Burma teak: full-height wardrobe shutters in the master bedroom, a hand-carved pooja room in rosewood with concealed brass diya cove lighting, kitchen cabinetry in fluted teak with stone-cast countertops. The living room takes the loudest position with a teak-panelled TV unit and a set of woven jute lamps that we sourced from Kanchipuram. Every joint was inspected on the workshop floor before it travelled to site.
