Golf Links, Delhi
Golf Links, tucked near the Delhi Golf Course, carries the legacy of post-Independence planning—broad avenues, symmetrical layouts, and whitewashed homes with neat lawns. The architecture is defined by low-rise bungalows, many of which have been modernised with glass extensions, landscaped terraces, and contemporary interiors while still retaining their original proportion and rhythm. The neighbourhood’s order and elegance have made it a cultural address as well as a residential one, with collector and patron Shalini Passi among its high-profile residents.
Prithviraj Road, Delhi
Part of Lutyens’ Delhi, Prithviraj Road is lined with expansive plots and tree-shaded avenues that set it apart from the capital’s denser neighbourhoods. The houses here are architectural statements—large front lawns leading to sprawling bungalows, often in a restrained modernist style with sandstone cladding, wide verandahs, and sweeping staircases. Security and privacy dominate the design, with high walls and gated entries giving way to palatial proportions inside. It’s in this zone of power and prestige that Sonam Kapoor Ahuja and Anand Ahuja have their New Delhi home, a residence that reflects the understated grandeur typical of Prithviraj Road.
Nandi Hills, Bengaluru
On the northern edge of Bengaluru, Nandi Hills has become a sought-after residential zone for those looking beyond the city grid. The architecture here responds directly to the terrain—houses step down the hillside in tiers, with flat roofs doubling as decks, and stone retaining walls integrated into the landscape. Large glass panels and open courtyards are common, designed to pull in views of the valley and the morning mist. Traditional touches—sloping tiled roofs, verandahs, and carved wooden elements—often sit alongside minimalist concrete frames, creating a language that is both rooted and modern. Among those who have chosen this hillside retreat is Kannada superstar Yash, whose presence has added to the area’s reputation as a destination for scale, privacy, and dramatic design.
