An exclusive glimpse inside the home of @archdigestindia's cover star @manishmalhotra05. Tranquil spaces of London and symmetry of Dubai intertwine the fashion designer's Pali Hill townhouse, sans the glamour and bling of his defining couture. Malhotra moved into this townhouse, an anomaly in a city known for its towering skyscrapers, seven years ago, and along with designer Kunal Shah (@kunalshahdesigns), set out to remodel the space to create a haven for him and his parents with their own personal floors, a lounge and dining area, and the terrace, all in line with vastu and feng shui principles. “The idea of owning a home was very important to me. When I found this house, I was doing Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, and we were shooting in London. I was so inspired by the design in the city, all the detailing, the use of wood, pillars, and mouldings, the light-grey palette, the constant bringing together of old and new.” Explore the iconic designer's home on architecturaldigest.in Cover photography: Ashish Sahi (@ashishsahi) Stylist: Samir Wadekar (@sam_wade11) Visuals Editor: Harshita Nayyar (@harshitanayyar_) Production: Shalini Kanojia (@shalinikanojia ) Words: Priyanka Khanna (@priyankaskhanna ) Head of Editorial Content: Komal Sharma (@komalinga) #LifeatCNI #condenast #condenastindia #AD #ADIndia #ManishMalhotra
