Home tour: a family's marble masterpiece in Bengaluru, India

Above A more earthy palette in conversation with dynamic marble flooring in the dining room of a home in Bengaluru, India, designed by Studio GSA Moving further into the home, the family and dining areas continue the emphasis on marble. Here, Studio GSA introduces a counterpoint to stone's solidity: fluted wooden panels painted in crisp white rise from the marble floors, before transitioning into soft beige-painted walls. This distinctive feature echoes throughout the home, on bedroom doors and glass panelling leading to formal living and pooja areas. This creates a consistent design language that unifies disparate spaces, while allowing each to maintain its character. In the dining area, marble achieves something truly remarkable: the inlay flooring mimics the intricate patterns of a luxurious carpet, eliminating the need for textiles while allowing the stone's natural artistry to shine through. This is more than a clever design feature; it's a bold statement about marble's ability to transcend traditional expectations, taking on a versatile role in residential spaces.
