It provides a seamless architectural flow, designed to maximise sunlight and air, and to create an effortless sense of space. From the double-height ceilings to the private terrace sanctuaries, here is a breakdown of the decor and design that make this Gurgaon property a standout in India’s luxury market.
Architectural grandeur
The defining feature of this penthouse is its verticality. The design utilises double-height glass facades that blur the line between the interior and the sky. The high ceilings in the primary lounge areas create an immediate sense of grandeur. The floor-to-ceiling windows act as light wells, ensuring every corner of the duplex is bathed in soft, natural sunlight throughout the day.

'Old money' aesthetic
The interior aesthetic leans heavily into the 'quiet luxury' or 'old money' trend. Instead of loud, flashy gold accents, the property uses a sophisticated, neutral colour palette. The walls feature a mix of smooth limestone finishes and textured stone cladding in muted greys and beiges. Italian marble with minimal veining runs throughout the main floor, reflecting light and maintaining a cool temperature. Dark wood cabinetry and wall panels provide a warm contrast to the stone, particularly in the bedrooms and study areas.
The video highlights a flow that is often missing in multi-story apartments. A sleek, glass-railed staircase serves as the spine of the home, connecting the social lower level with the private upper sanctuary. The dining and living areas are connected without rigid partitions, creating a layout ideal for hosting high-profile gatherings. Large sliding glass doors lead from the bedrooms and living rooms directly onto landscaped balconies, making the outdoor greenery feel like a living piece of art.
Soft furnishings
The bedrooms are designed as self-contained retreats. Key design elements include floor-to-ceiling wardrobes in dark veneers that provide ample storage without breaking the room's visual line. The use of sheer drapes paired with heavy blackout curtains allows the resident to curate the room's mood. Plush, low-profile furniture—including curved armchairs and oversized beds—adds a layer of comfort to the sharp architectural lines.
The private terrace
The crown jewel of the property is the private terrace. Eschewing the typical concrete balcony, this space is designed with premium wood decking and surrounded by high privacy walls in a slate-grey finish. The inclusion of mature potted palms and minimalist landscaping transforms the space into a private urban oasis, perfect for quiet mornings or evening cocktails.
This property isn't just a home; it’s a statement on how modern Gurgaon is evolving — where luxury is defined not just by price, but by the quality of light, the height of the ceilings, and the flow of the space.
