Threads of time and tradition: How Sona Reddy's The Pink Opal residence merges ancestral haveli grandeur with contemporary design in the heart of Hyderabad
Soldering the fleeting memory of an ancestral haveli with the vision of a modernist city abode, The Pink Opal is a residence that breathes nostalgia and innovation in equal measure. Located in the elite Jubilee Hills of Hyderabad, this 3,600-square-foot, 4-bedroom private home, designed by Sona Reddy Studio, stands as a hymn to the poetic possibilities that arise when tradition meets modernity. At its heart, the home seeks to fuse the past and future, reminiscent of the haveli once inhabited by its owners, Tanushree and Parth, a doctor couple. Their initials christen the home, a personal touch that mirrors the intimate design narrative within.
The metaphor of weaving threads defines the design ethos of The Pink Opal. Much like a tapestry, a home is a confluence of memories and visions, each thread representing a new moment or perspective woven into the familiar. In this residence, nostalgia forms the warp, while experimentation and fresh design perspectives form the weft. Sona Reddy and her team at the eponymous studio took on the challenge of reimagining the ground floor of a multi-story residential building, nestled within an unassuming cuboidal structure amid the lush greenery of Jubilee Hills. Drawing inspiration from the owners’ former haveli, the design process became a delicate balancing act. On one hand, the new home had to reflect the grandness and historical depth of their former dwelling.
The entrance to The Pink Opal sets the tone for the entire home, where scale and craftsmanship immediately come into focus. The imposing teak main door, nearly five feet wide, features intricate woodwork inspired by weaving patterns, a nod to the craftsmanship that forms the essence of the home. Painted in a dusky rose tint, the door’s colour is derived from madder pigment sourced from Uttarakhand, symbolising the careful attention to detail and the use of natural, traditional materials. This handcrafted element sets the stage for what lies beyond.
Just beyond the entrance, a striking travertine wall, with its rust and ivory hues interlacing in bold linear veins, becomes a focal point. This architectural statement is complemented by a bespoke console crafted from the same material, extending the theme of layered textures into the home’s interiors. Grey terrazzo floors streaked with pink inserts create a subtle yet dynamic visual dialogue with the surrounding walls and furnishings. The living room, which enjoys a close relationship with the expansive garden outside, reflects the studio’s ethos of soulful minimalism. The design is intentional and restrained, yet rich in detail. A series of circular punctures in the wall serves as a minimalist interpretation of the traditional jaali walls often found in grand havelis. The terracotta rings framing these punctures are a tribute to traditional materials, while the modern glass inserts bring a contemporary edge.
A subtle yet poignant tribute to the couple’s former haveli appears in the bar unit, where custom-carved details replicate the façade of the old home. Large, wood-framed glass doors seamlessly connect the indoors with the outdoors, allowing the home to feel both expansive and intimate. The television lounge continues the narrative of monotones and textures, with floor-to-ceiling glass framing views of the surrounding greenery. This space offers a more relaxed environment, where the focus shifts to comfort and leisure. A large, double-sided bookshelf acts as both a divider and a prayer nook, while a vibrant kilim-style rug injects colour and warmth into the otherwise muted palette. Resting spaces at The Pink Opal are defined by colour and texture. The master bedroom, with its ferrocement feature wall and teak furnishings, offers a quiet, minimalist retreat, while the rust-toned master bathroom adds a sensual, tactile dimension. In the guest bedroom, the salmon walls and repurposed bed from the former haveli create a warm, inviting space that celebrates memory and history. Each room is a study of how colour, material, and texture can be used to create unique atmospheres within a cohesive design language.
Materials at The Pink Opal play a crucial role in telling this story of remembrance and reinvention. Lime plaster, natural stones, terracotta, seasoned wood, and pigments sourced traditionally embody the marriage of past and present. These raw finishes, earthy textures, and organic materials pay homage to the ancestral haveli, while the restrained modernist design breathes new life into these elements.
Throughout The Pink Opal, Sona Reddy Studio has masterfully woven together the threads of past and present, tradition and innovation, creating a home that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. The home is not just a dwelling but a living, breathing canvas where every detail tells a story, every material carries meaning, and every space invites one to pause, reflect, and experience.
