“The best & most beautiful things in life cannot be seen or touched, they are felt through our hearts”— Ar. Mohita Garg Vashisht. Such is the profound metaphysical dimension of this house, designed to resonate deeply with its inhabitants and foster authentic connections. Indeed, the moment you first encounter it, you don't merely observe; you feel it. A profound sense of grounded elegance emanates from its monumental facade, a whisper of ancient secrets cloaked in contemporary lines. Nestled in Mohali, amidst the burgeoning landscape of modern India, stands a home that defies easy categorization. It's not just a luxury residence; it's a living entity, conceived with a vision so deeply personal, so entwined with the very essence of well-being, that it could only be described as a metaphysical marvel.
This is the story of a home designed not merely for comfort, but for consciousness. Its genesis began with a singular, profound idea: 'mindful luxury.' For the discerning client, this wasn't about fleeting ostentation, but about cultivating a deeper connection – to family, to nature, and most importantly, to oneself. Ar. Mohita Garg Vashisht, the visionary lead architect from Creative Consortium, along with her dedicated team, embarked on an extraordinary journey to weave together sustainable practices, the timeless wisdom of Vaastu Shastra, and an intuitive understanding of the human spirit. The goal was audacious: to craft a sanctuary that nurtured the mind and soul as profoundly as it housed the body.
An Interior Symphony: Light, Air, and Quietude
Step across the threshold, and the exterior's robust grandeur gently recedes, replaced by an enveloping serenity. It's a deliberate, almost poetic, dichotomy. Where the outside hints at a powerful presence, the inside embraces you with a profound sense of peace. This is where the metaphysical heart of the home truly beats. Rather than dazzling with overly opulent materials, the design prioritizes the ephemeral: the quality of light filtering through soaring double-height voids, the purity of air circulating through thoughtful courtyards, and the quietude that settles deep within.
This is a home built from first principles, where every material and every angle serves a purpose beyond mere aesthetics. It's an ode to timeless elegance, an inherent resistance to fleeting trends. You won't find anything here that screams 'of the moment'; instead, you'll discover a sophisticated canvas designed to remain relevant, to inspire dialogue, and to encourage evolution for decades to come.
The Unseen Connections: A Family's Embrace
Spanning a generous 15,000 square feet, this residence seamlessly accommodates two brothers and their young families, each enjoying their dedicated floor. But it's the upper third floor that truly embodies the spirit of shared living – a vibrant hub with a bar, spa, gym, and study. The homeowner, a keen host, envisioned the bar lounge as the central pulse of gatherings, effortlessly extending into open, beautifully landscaped terraces. Imagine evenings filled with laughter and conversation, flowing freely between refined interiors and the starlit Mohali sky.
The architecture itself becomes a silent facilitator of connection. Double-height voids, sun-drenched courtyards, and expansive family lounges, all bathed in abundant natural light, were strategically designed to invite interaction and shared experiences. Generous setbacks and central courtyards transform into the home's "green lungs," a verdant pathway weaving through the property, fostering a continuous embrace with nature. These expansive green spaces aren't just decorative; they are the true heart of the home, perfect for intimate family moments and grand celebrations alike.
A Story in Every Detail: The Art of the Bespoke
To call this a luxury home feels almost reductive. It is, in essence, a bespoke masterpiece, where every single element tells a story of meticulous craftsmanship. From the initial architectural blueprint to the custom-designed furniture, the carefully curated lighting, and the artfully sculpted landscape – nothing here was off-the-shelf. This was a complex symphony of collaboration, involving over 40 vendors, each contributing their expertise to ensure uncompromising quality. The journey, spanning three years and braving the challenges of a global pandemic, culminated in a truly unique creation.
What truly sets this project apart is the holistic vision executed entirely in-house by Creative Consortium. Under the direct guidance of Ar. Mohita Garg Vashisht, their dedicated team meticulously handled every facet: the overarching architectural design, the intricate landscape planning, the bespoke lighting schemes, the custom furniture pieces, the selection of luxurious fabrics, the elegant curtains, and even the final, precise styling. This comprehensive approach ensured a seamless flow and a singular artistic voice throughout the entire residence.
A Testament to Integrity, Authenticity, and Honesty
The alignment with Vaastu principles isn't just a compliance checklist; it's an intrinsic part of the home's energetic blueprint. Master bedrooms perfectly positioned in the Southwest, the drawing-room oriented to the Northeast – every room's placement is a nod to ancient wisdom, designed to harmonize energies and foster well-being. And privacy, a paramount concern for a family that hosts often, was ingeniously woven into the very fabric of the layout, with clear segregations between public and private realms. Every material and finish was chosen not just for beauty, but for longevity and ease of maintenance, ensuring a lifestyle that is both sophisticated and effortlessly managed.
The result is a testament to integrity, authenticity, and honesty. This is a space that doesn't need to fit in; it simply is. It's a sanctuary with a unique story to tell, a house that doesn't just shelter its inhabitants but genuinely breathes with them, offering a boundless sense of freedom within its precise and thoughtfully designed embrace.
