Weekend Abode
A Serene Hideaway on the Outskirts of Guwahati : Tucked into the quiet green folds just beyond Guwahati’s bustle, this vacation house is a tribute to slow living, material honesty, and the rich cultural textures of Northeast India. At first glance, the interiors exude understated luxury—rooted in earthy hues of browns, greys, and creams that complement the natural landscape outside. The palette is quiet, grounding. But the deeper story is told through material choices and regional context."

Custom-crafted teak wood furniture—from grand dining tables to low-slung loungers—anchors each room with timeless presence. Lime-washed walls lend a breezy, matte texture that softens the light and brings a monastic calm to the interiors. A striking teak and marble fusion runs throughout—stone countertops paired with warm wood cabinetry, echoing Assam’s own blend of strength and softness. The four-poster bed in the master suite subtly fuses tradition with modernity. Sleek in silhouette yet rooted in vernacular sensibility, it becomes a centerpiece that ties the home’s design language together. In the open balcony, a jacuzzi tub invites unhurried hours—overlooking the distant hills, under a ceiling fan from Fanzart, with a glass of rice wine or a book in hand. Even relaxation is curated here as a quiet ritual.
Lighting throughout the house is sourced from Hybec, chosen not just for illumination, but for ambiance. Warm glows highlight curated wall art and textiles—each piece telling a story of Northeast India’s tribal heritage. Cushion covers and throws are made by local artisans, bearing traditional motifs from Bodo, Mishing, and Naga weaves—subtle yet rich in cultural memory.This home doesn’t shout opulence. It whispers comfort, cultural pride, and belonging. A retreat built not just for vacation, but for reflection, storytelling, and slow mornings in silk robes with the breeze blowing in from the Brahmaputra.
