New Delhi, India
The 7 Hailey Road Residence project consists of one of four villas on a large site in the embassy quarter of New Delhi. The architect had designed a neo-classical set of buildings and the client collaborated with Smallwood to continue this theme within the Interior Design.
General public areas were laid out across the ground floor and Smallwood created a central sculptural stair that rose three floors to the private apartments above and acted as a central visual focus of the building. Smallwood designed cladding for the main lobbies with black filled travertine with inset panels to accentuate the light limestone predominately applied throughout the space. This solution provided the client with a soft canvas for featuring a large collection which included rugs, antique clocks and a range of fine paintings and sculptures from around the world.
Each apartment floor was designed for a different member of the family and the interiors reflected their particular tastes while keeping within a general classic contemporary aesthetic.
