Villa Devereux is a 1-acre classical residence in Amritsar that reinterprets Victorian elegance through a contemporary, serene lens. With balanced proportions, a soft colour palette, and a refined facade, the home is designed to feel timeless while remaining deeply warm and lived-in.
The residence is planned as a seamless dialogue between architecture, landscape, and daily life. Clear zoning ensures privacy for family spaces while maintaining fluid movement and visual openness throughout the home.
The core concept was to bring classical architecture into a modern lifestyle without making it feel heavy or ornate. Victorian influences were carefully distilled into proportions, symmetry, and detailing, allowing the home to feel elegant yet understated in its final realisation.
Natural light plays a defining role, entering the home through large openings and garden-facing spaces. Soft artificial lighting complements the classical architecture, enhancing textures and details while maintaining a calm, welcoming ambience across the day.
From facade articulation to interior finishes, every element was curated with restraint and precision. Details were intentionally subtle, ensuring the home feels cohesive and timeless rather than overly decorative.
One of the key challenges was balancing classical character with contemporary comfort on a large 1-acre plot. Ensuring the home felt intimate and human-scaled, despite its grandeur, required careful control of proportions, materials, and spatial transitions.
The home was tailored closely to the client’s lifestyle, preferences, and long-term vision. From spatial layouts to material choices, each decision was customised to create a residence that feels personal, enduring, and effortlessly livable.
Villa Devereux stands as a thoughtful blend of classical elegance and modern living, where architecture, light, and landscape come together in quiet harmony. Designed to age gracefully, the home reflects a timeless approach to luxury that prioritizes comfort, character, and a lasting sense of belonging.
