Ameet Mirpuri’s Design Studio reimagines a typical Hyderabad residence into a luxurious and distinctive family home, featuring bespoke furniture, carefully selected art, and a bold color palette.
At first glance, this Hyderabad residence appeared to be just another generic row house in a villa community, lacking natural light and privacy. However, for Ameet Mirpuri, founder of Design Studio, the answer was evident: reconfigure the layout to reveal its true potential. “Redesigning the space was essential for creating a more open and livable environment,” he explains.

The client arrived with a clear yet adaptable vision: a blend of styles. They desired light, airy colors but were open to incorporating edgy elements. The challenge was to seamlessly integrate various design components into a unified aesthetic. “They embraced the concept of a neo-classical framework complemented by contemporary furniture, all while retaining an underlying Indian essence,” Mirpuri explains. The final design emerged from this eclectic fusion, emphasizing open spaces and family connectivity. “We concentrated on refining the 3D visualization we first presented,” the designer adds.

The Hyderabad home was also designed to serve as a party venue, leading to a conversion from five bedrooms to four. The top floor features a party area along with two guest rooms, while the first floor includes a family living room, the six-year-old daughter’s bedroom, and a master suite complete with a gaming room. The ground floor was opened up to create two spacious living areas, a dining room, and a kitchen, contributing to a bright and airy atmosphere. “Essentially, the clients value their private lifestyle, and it’s just the three of them at home,” the designer reveals. “This is why we prioritized open spaces and ensured that both primary bedrooms on the first floor are connected. The soundproof gaming room is adjacent to the master bedroom.”
Elements That Make the Design Shine

Details such as the striped inla
y at the entrance establish the visual tone for the entire space. “We aimed to create a subtle statement with the vintage-style black main door,” Mirpuri explains. The marble staircase, elegantly spiraling up the wall, serves as a defining feature of the home, while a striking red cast-iron railing transforms it into a captivating visual experience for guests.
The second-floor powder room makes a bold statement with its striking black-and-red color scheme. Throughout the home, the color palette creatively contrasts light tones blended with touches of pink and green in softer areas, while more vibrant black and red hues define the party space.
Customization and Artistic Flair

Customisation played a central role in the project. Every piece of furniture was designed with a specific colour, size, and style in mind. “We worked closely with Within Design, known for their India-modern edge, to ensure the furniture was cohesive, lively, and unique,” shares Mirpuri. Each piece was crafted with individuality in mind, with no two items repeating the same design while still maintaining a harmonious flow. Art and craftsmanship also played a huge role in creating the home’s distinct character. From the custom pillars in the puja room crafted by Ramana in Visakhapatnam to wooden artwork sourced from Jaipur through the Eastern Art Museum, each piece contributed to the home’s luxe yet grounded aesthetic.
