Four Homes, One Collector: South Asian and Contemporary Harmony


I had the privilege of documenting one of the most beautiful collections I've seen in homes where South Asian art and contemporary pieces live in perfect harmony. Documenting a collector's four homes—two featured here. A study in curated living across continents, with forthcoming work from London and Dubai.

Home in Islamabad

Interior of a stylish living room with exposed brick walls, framed artwork, a large tree in a planter, a leather sofa with decorative pillows, and wooden furniture, illuminated by natural and artificial lighting.

Home in Khaira Gali

A high-angle view of a cozy living room with a stone wall, leather sofas, colorful pillows, a wooden coffee table with decorative items, framed artwork, plants, and large hanging light fixtures. There's a sliding glass door leading to a balcony with outdoor seating and green trees outside.

In the cool silence of Khaira Gali's pine forests, this home whispers rather than speaks. Windows frame mountains and mist. Materials and craft honor the landscape. Within, a thoughtfully curated art collection and interior design create a rare kind of sanctuary where the architecture serves the collections, and the collections honor the place.
