With a dream of having space and design collaborate to create a contemporary home, Dhwani Doshi, founder of Creative Chase, an urban graphic design company - wanted to create home for herself with a warm and welcoming vibe. The brief to her architectural & execution team (which also happens to be her extended family) was absolutely simple. Break free from the hues of brown and cream that she has been living with in her family home and bring in the grey, blue & green colour palette into her home.

This is her first stint of moving out from her parent's home and living by herself, so a lot of the old furniture was brought and re-furbished and re-upholstered too. Dhwani and her siblings have had way too many memories in her previous space and she wanted to bring home, a part of the old and blend it with the new.

Besides, the highlight of the house had to be incorporating all the art work she has been collecting as a young investor. With aspirations of someday, making a contemporary museum space for the society, she has been collecting art from across India since she was 22 years old. May it be art residencies across Baroda & Mumbai, flea markets in Africa where her father's business is set up or just simple small collectibles on her travels, she has a penchant for everything art and design.The Crystal Challis by Shivangi Shah - Hive Home Lighting for the Dining Area
