Larkin House

Nestled on Larkin Street, this 6-story home masterfully combines simplicity, warmth, and sweeping views of San Francisco.

The third floor is a vibrant playroom for the kids, while the fourth floor, set at street level, is designed for entertaining with an open kitchen, dining area, library, and office. The fifth floor houses private bedrooms, and the sixth floor crowns the home with a family lounge, personal kitchen, and panoramic views of the Golden Gate Bridge—perfect for unwinding while embracing California’s iconic landscapes.

Inspired by the family’s love for nature and travel, the interiors feature natural materials, soft blues and greens, and curated art that echoes landscapes and botanicals. Clean lines and rich textures create a seamless blend of New England charm and Californian ease, crafting a home that’s both timeless and deeply personal.

A Contemporary Family Haven

The ground floor hosts formal entertaining areas, while the first floor is a cozy family hub. The second level is tailored for the daughter and parents, and the third serves as a private retreat for the son and his guests.

Shared spaces, like the bar, living area, and dining room, follow a cohesive design for seamless flow during gatherings. In contrast, private rooms reflect individual tastes, creating a warm yet contemporary home with a distinct personality.

Woodside Inn

Woodside Inn: A Heritage Revival

Housed in a heritage building in South Mumbai, Woodside was transformed from an old Udupi-style restaurant into the now-iconic Woodside Inn. The space’s existing architectural features—arched openings, cornices, and exposed beams became the foundation for its design, evoking the charm of an old British pub.

This carefully crafted aesthetic perfectly aligned with the client’s vision of relaunching the space as a resto-bar, seamlessly blending the heritage character of the building with the lively ambiance of its new identity. The result is a timeless destination that feels right at home in the historic neighborhood.

ELEVATION

“The charm of an old British pub, where the rich history of Old Bombay subtly weaves into every corner, blending tradition, warmth, and a touch of nostalgia.”
