Central Park Resorts, Sohna Road — The Kalsis Come Home, Twice

Three 4,000 sq ft apartments for one family: two for the parents, one for their son four years later · NRI family moving back to India

After years abroad, the Kalsis were coming home. They wanted a home that felt unmistakably Indian in its warmth and craft — and international in its finish.

The parents' apartments: the dining table became the heart

Mother-of-pearl inlay swirled by hand across the table — the family calls it the circle of life. Travertine consoles with red stone inlay running like a ribbon. Bedrooms wrapped in jali-cut panels and book-matched veneers.

Every room carries a hand-made detail you only find when you live there.

Four years later: the same family, the next generation

The family came back — this time for their son, newly married. Same tower. Entirely different taste.

Where the parents' home is warm and crafted, this one is clean-lined, walnut-and-marble modern: slatted wood ceilings, floating vanities, wardrobes that read as walls.
