16, Evelyn House | Quirk Studio (
@quirkstudio ) | Mumbai
BRIEF
Set within a high-rise in Mumbai, Evelyn House is conceived as a refined, multi-generational family home that balances classical elegance with a contemporary sensibility. Designed to transcend trends, the residence embraces a language of restraint, warmth, and permanence, where materiality, proportion, and light take precedence over overt ornamentation.
The brief was deliberately understated: to create a home that feels timeless, welcoming, and deeply liveable for family members across generations. Rather than adhering to a singular design theme, the approach was to craft a cohesive yet layered environment: one that bridges varied aesthetic preferences while remaining rooted in a shared sense of comfort and grace. The result is a home that feels intuitively familiar yet quietly elevated.
Materially, the home leans into a timeless palette with marble, layered wood panelling, parquet and bespoke wood flooring, wallpapers, mixed metals, and tactile fabrics. Marble, used extensively, lends gravitas and continuity, while wood introduces warmth and intimacy. Detailed bathrooms and powder rooms emerge as moments of surprise, where marble, mirrors, lighting, and sculptural basins are composed with almost jewel-like precision.
Completed within an ambitious eight-month timeline, Evelyn House stands as a testament to thoughtful space planning that prioritises generosity and clarity over excess. Every room is afforded the luxury of space, allowing the home to breathe and age gracefully, making it a contemporary-classic sanctuary shaped by light, texture, and a deep respect for how families truly live.
