When BPTP envisioned its Experience Centre at the landmark Oberoi Gurgaon, the intention was clear: this wouldn't be a space that merely showcased real estate—it would be a spatial expression of a way of life—a place where clients don’t just view offerings but sense the ethos behind them. Space Matrix To bring this to life, BPTP collaborated with Space Matrix to choreograph a space that feels less like a sales suite and more like a sensorial narrative. The reference point wasn’t commercial—it was cultural. Inspired by the elegance of French manor houses from the 17th and 18th centuries, the design distills their timeless grace into something thoroughly modern and deeply experiential. Space Matrix Th...

The land on which a large farmhouse had stood for many years and the hardwood thicket behind it together totaled about 2,000m². The young owner, who had moved to the area from the city, wanted to live on the entire lush green site, have a place to conduct a small business or send out messages to attract people from the area, and be able to use the house well in the future when he moved to a new location. Therefore, we designed a house integrated with a semi-outdoor garden that would incorporate the site’s rich nature, the surrounding environment, and local activities.... More

Location: A Village near New Chandigarh A sweeping 270° (or more) view—interrupted only by a lone tree across the road. That’s what this elevated site offers.

It’s truly idyllic—this setting was the only and ultimate reason behind the choice of location. A typical slice of Punjab, where you hear the kooh kooh of water pumps and the calming chants from two nearby gurudwaras. The gentle sounds of rural life waking up all around create an atmosphere of complete serenity. Caption And yet—just a few kilomete... More
