South Indian superstar Nayanthara and her filmmaker husband Vignesh Shivan have transformed a 7,000 square feet colonial-style bungalow into a stunning home studio in Chennai. Nestled in Venus Colony, one of the city’s prime residential areas, the house is a harmonious blend of modern luxury and traditional craftsmanship, reflecting the couple’s aesthetic sensibilities.
A Perfect Blend of Heritage and Modern Luxe
Designed to function as both a home and workspace, the bungalow exudes a rustic charm with earthy color palettes, teak wood accents, woven fiber details, linen fabrics, and rattan elements. The space is bathed in natural light, with large windows allowing pockets of sunshine and a refreshing breeze to flow through, creating an inviting and serene ambiance.
The property boasts an upper-level bamboo deck, offering picturesque city views, while the terrace serves as a perfect spot for relaxation and social gatherings. Nayanthara, speaking about the design, shared, “I wanted to retain the essence of the bungalow while enhancing it to make it brighter by bringing in lots of natural light.”
A Multi-Functional Home Studio
The home studio is thoughtfully designed to accommodate both work and leisure. It includes:
- A conference room for meetings and creative discussions
- A cosy lounge area for entertaining guests
- A landscaped outdoor section for unwinding
- An outdoor backyard dining area
- Bedrooms to accommodate their work team
- A dedicated meeting room for both Nayanthara and Vignesh
One of the most striking features of the space is the double-height glass houses situated between a central terrace, adding a chic, modern touch while maintaining the semi-old-world charm of the bungalow.
Nayanthara’s Favorite Spot
Speaking about her most-loved space, Nayanthara revealed, “My most favorite part is Vignesh’s studio along with the terrace cafe lounge where we host guests regularly.” The home studio’s unique architecture and thoughtful design elements create a perfect balance between old-world charm and contemporary elegance, making it an inspiring space for both personal and professional endeavors.
With this transformation, Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan have not only reimagined a colonial-style bungalow but also created a sophisticated yet warm environment that blends work, creativity, and relaxation seamlessly.
