Prana is not just a home, it’s a living, breathing manifestation of heritage, culture, and contemporary elegance, designed by the visionary Rohini Bagla, Founder and Principal Designer of Studio Rohini Bagla. The project takes its inspiration from the deep-rooted traditions of South India, weaving them seamlessly with fresh, modern sensibilities to create a space that is both timeless and ever-evolving. The 3BHK was designed for a South Indian family who sought a home that feels like an embrace—rich in tradition, yet alive with contemporary energy. The result is a home that speaks the language of family, culture, and modern living in perfect harmony.
As you step into the heart of the home, the entrance welcomes you with a traditional mandir, standing as a sacred space with two grand pillars that nod to South Indian architecture and
delicate bells that chime softly, bringing an authentic touch of spirituality and serenity to the home. The living room invites you with its warm wooden furniture, each piece handpicked to
evoke a sense of nostalgia and warmth. The curved TV unit, a modern marvel in design, serves as a bridge between past and present, while the brass pattis embedded in the space bring a touch of South Indian heritage, grounding the entire room in tradition. The limewash-finished textured walls, with their subtle depth and character, add warmth and richness. The rug—a stunning fusion of bamboo silk—wraps the space in a tactile experience that feels both luxurious and organic.
The dining room is where function meets art. A unique wood-and-marble dining table serves as the centrepiece. The chairs, made of organic cotton, wood, and cane, are a testament to sustainability, while the bespoke veneer detailing on the sideboard and doors adds a layer of sophistication. The most delightful surprise? A spacious, broad balcony—once a
dream—now a reality. With its patterned color wooden tiles, this space becomes a serene escape for the family, a perfect spot for quiet reflection or intimate gatherings. And tucked
away in the balcony, a hidden bar with a pocket door adds an element of intrigue and surprise, inviting the homeowner to savor life’s little indulgences in style.
The daughters’ room is a bold departure from the rest of the home, a reflection of their boho-chic spirit and vibrant personalities. Blue PU cabinets set the tone, while the interplay
of beige accents in the headboard and inlay tiles creates a perfect balance of calm and creativity. The room feels like a breath of fresh air, with cane details that evoke an earthy,
carefree vibe. Every corner of the room tells a story—from the inlay tiles that echo the beige flooring to the soft, flowing tree branches behind the bed, a tribute to beginnings, growth, and
endless possibilities. It’s a space that feels entirely their own, yet still anchored in the larger narrative of the home. The study unit flows effortlessly into a curved TV unit, creating a
sense of fluidity and openness. The limewash walls continue the theme of warmth and texture, while the clever design of the study space encourages productivity, focus, and creativity. The room feels alive, with each detail carefully considered to inspire the mind and soul.
Throughout the entire home, custom veneer panels and intricate detailing make every corner feel like a curated work of art. Every detail, from the carefully selected materials to the thoughtfully designed layouts, reflects a dedication to craftsmanship and design excellence. Prana isn’t just a space; it’s an experience—an embodiment of culture, family, and modern
elegance wrapped into one unforgettable design journey. A true celebration of South Indian heritage, infused with contemporary flair, it stands as a testament to the power of thoughtful
design, where every detail is a reflection of the lives that inhabit it.
