Completed in 2020 by Indian architecture & interior design firm Atrey & Associates, Somany’s residence located in the bustling neighborhood of Engineer’s Enclave, New Delhi.
Architect's statement: The residence stands tall with its unique and sharply angled façade. The client- a well known fashion designer herself, wanted a simple but unique, eye catching house. The main idea was to have a house with large fenestrations but keeping privacy in mind. The north facing 28’ x 58’ has ‘A’ frame in façade- enveloping upper ground and first floor. It stands out as an architectural marvel giving powerful energy to residence in modern style.
The left and right angled corners envelopes a water body attached with main lounge and a green area next to powder room on first floor. Whether seen in day or lit up in evening this bold structure is hard to miss.

The magic of monochrome enhanced with rich material and subtle final variations result in a calming and luxurious space.
