The Narang Residence: French-Classical Grandeur Meets Modern Luxury in Gurgaon
In mid-2024, the Narang family approached Riviera Studio 90 to craft a residence that would mirror their generational legacy while accommodating the evolving rhythms of a modern, multi-family household. The result is a 15,000 sq. ft. private villa in Gurgaon, where classic French symmetry meets progressive Indian spatial logic—a home rooted in architectural poise and layered with lifestyle versatility. Currently under construction, the residence is scheduled for completion in January 2026.
This residence is not simply about scale—it’s about enduring design, climatic responsiveness, and functional elegance across every level.
A Façade of Symmetry and Material Precision
The façade borrows from French classical principles—vertical rhythm, balance, and order—but strips away the unnecessary. Instead of ornamented arches or windows, open brick archways define the architectural character. These arches are pure façade treatments, creating lightness and shadow without enclosing space. Finished in hand-laid brick and marble stone, the elevation captures timeless elegance without pastiche.
The result is sculptural, refined, and climate-conscious—a fitting address for an HNI family in the capital region.
The Stilt Level: Discreet Utility, Designed with Elegance
Unusually for a residence of this scale, the stilt level is not a garage—it’s an architectural experience. Conceived as a hospitality-grade ground floor, it includes:
- Parking for five vehicles, seamlessly tucked behind design-conscious cladding
- A covered lawn for the children to play, particularly during summer evenings
- A striking entry lobby featuring a grand open spiral staircase, a lift for seamless vertical access, and dramatic flooring inlaid with Marquina and Crema marble in geometric contrast—offering an immediate sense of luxury and visual connectivity across levels
- Carefully layered softscape and façade treatments that elevate function into form
This level sets the tone—effortless transitions between service and statement, engineered for daily living.
The Basement: A Private Entertaining and Storage Zone
The basement level of the Narang Residence is more than just a functional floor—it’s a bespoke leisure and utility zone, tailored for upscale entertaining, long-term storage, and intelligent service planning.
- Upon descending, guests arrive at a dedicated entrance foyer, elegantly finished and intentionally detached from the main lounge to offer a moment of pause and transition
- This leads into the entertainment bar lounge—a richly designed, hospitality-grade space ideal for social evenings, celebrations, and weekend family gatherings
- An attached pantry supports seamless service during events
- Flanking the entrance lounge are his and her powder rooms, offering guests a luxurious and private experience
- Three expansive walk-in storage rooms, one for each family unit, support long-term planning and de-cluttered living
Together, the basement functions as both a social engine and logistical core, designed for practicality without compromising the aesthetics.
Vertical Planning for Modern Multigenerational Living
Above the stilt, the villa rises across three full floors—each crafted with a careful mix of independence, interaction, and privacy.
- First Floor (for the 1st generation): Designed for the parents, this level acts as the home’s emotional anchor. It features a master bedroom with tranquil views of a mature red-blossomed tree, a luxurious ensuite and walk-in, a guest suite, and a 400 sq. ft. kitchen with a central island. A warm family lounge offers space for hosting close relatives and friends. The floor exemplifies quiet luxury, with layouts conducive to comfort, care, and hosting.
- Second & Third Floors (for the elder and younger sons’ families): Mirrored in layout, each of these floors contains three generously scaled bedrooms, all with ensuites and walk-in wardrobes. The master bedrooms in both units are connected to their respective children’s rooms via 8′ x 10′ foldable partitions, offering flexibility for early-stage parenting—balancing privacy with proximity. Each floor also features a guest room, a family lounge, and a pantry. A dumbwaiter system links the main kitchen on the first floor with pantries on the basement, second, and third levels, ensuring effortless service and operational flow across generations.
The Terrace: Elevated Hospitality for the Delhi-NCR Climate
Reaching the top through the villa’s signature open spiral staircase, one steps into a rooftop arrival court—the gateway to the home’s second climate-oriented entertainment zone, designed especially for Delhi’s crisp winters.
- To the right, a state-of-the-art glass and stainless-steel gym anchors the terrace edge. Though designed as a removable structure, it feels permanent—offering a luxurious and well-ventilated wellness space with uninterrupted city views
- As you move left and forward, the space opens into a brick, stone, and concrete-built open-air bar and lounge. This zone supports everything from intimate bonfire gatherings to evening cocktails, thanks to modular seating, natural materials, and climate-resilient surfaces
- Thoughtful landscaping, raised planters, wind buffers, and warm-tone stone flooring make this a year-round retreat
Together with the air-conditioned basement bar and rear lawn, the home offers dual-season entertaining—comfortable, functional, and visually rich across extremes.
The Spiral Statement: Movement in Sculpture
At the heart of the Narang Residence lies a bold architectural statement—a grand open spiral stairwell that rises dramatically through every level. Crowned by a 12-foot-diameter skylight at the mumty level, this space draws natural light deep into the home’s core. It offers more than just movement: the stairwell creates a vertical conversation, where voices and glances pass fluidly between floors, anchoring the family together through spatial openness. Alongside, a refined elevator ensures functional accessibility with subtle elegance.
