“Our philosophy revolves around crafting spaces into bespoke narratives,” emphasizes Shantanu, founder and self-taught design maestro. Further adding, “Our forte lies in weaving together modern and traditional themes from diverse design eras, resonating with Indian design sensibilities on a global scale.” Known for his interest in the history of luxury, vintage detailing, and craftsmanship, this time Shantanu says, “I am on a mission to raising the bar in design and elevating Indian luxury aesthetics beyond ethnicity—to make it egalitarian and globally palatable.”

PROJECT IN FOCUS – Residence Melange
Location: Jaipur
Typology: Penthouse Residence
Year of Completion: 2021
Design Concept: A Royal Indian Smart Home
Architectural Modernity: A cohesive design language blends drama, contrast, and balance, marrying luxury with made-to-measure functionality.
What we heart: Leather-clad wall boiseries embellished with graphics of Indian royalty. A custommade totem fountain made with semi-precious stones, the Kaleera pendant lights above the dining ensemble and the coffee bar placed within a vertical trunk.


The 10,000 sq ft “flying bungalow” by Shantanu Garg Design redefines penthouse living with its architectural modernity, blending luxury with functional details. Luxurious Italian furniture, art deco, mid-century antiques, and global artefacts coalesce into a synchronised harmony, marrying Indian tradition with contemporary design. Black-and-white details inspired by Araish lime plaster, seen on marble walls, cushions, and bedding, exemplify the contextual Indian approach, achieving visible balance through contrasting styles and materials.
