Abha

Perched high in Kolkata’s iconic skyscraper The 42, Abha is a residence that masterfully mirrors the layered soul of its city where colonial facades cast shadows on glass towers, and old-world grace flows seamlessly into contemporary ambition. Much like Calcutta itself, the home is a poetic juxtaposition: rooted in tradition, yet spirited with modernity. Framed by sweeping views of the Ganges, Howrah Bridge, Vidyasagar Setu, Victoria Memorial, and the Maidan, the home becomes a living canvas like a quiet witness to Calcutta’s layered past, vibrant present, and unfolding future. Within its walls, a rich tapestry unfurls: Indian art collected with care, textures shaped by hand, and whispers of Art Deco elegance that nod to the city’s bygone glamour. Every room tells a story of not just design, but of belonging. Anchored in the quiet elegance of natural materials, the home finds its grounding in rich wood grains, tactile stone, and the gentle shimmer of warm brass accents. A soothing palette of earthy greys and muted hues creates a serene backdrop, allowing bold strokes of art and vibrant decor to emerge like moments of poetry on a neutral page. Though layered in detail and generous in expression, the design carries a sense of intention where every piece has a place, and every corner balances aesthetic richness with quiet functionality.
