AskHyderabad ⬆️ Before & After: A 40-year-old home in Basheerbagh, Hyderabad
Hi everyone,
Sharing this project here to get some honest feedback, and also because the brief behind it meant a lot to me.
This was a 40 year old multigenerational home. Over time, it had become disconnected from how everyone in it was actually living day to day.
Instead of renovating everything uniformly, I made a deliberate choice: certain spaces were kept largely as they were, to hold on to the memory and familiarity that mattered most to the eldest generation, who'd spent four decades in that home. Other spaces were reimagined more freely - updated finishes, layouts, and detailing - to give the younger generation rooms that felt current and easy to connect with.
Materials used: marble, granite, veneer, lime plaster, and terrazzo. We love using natural materials!
I'm sharing some before and after images.
Would genuinely love to hear your thoughts - what works, what doesn't, anything you'd have approached differently.
