Casa Paradiso, designed by Studio Reset is a contemporary luxury residence in Delhi that transforms a constrained urban site into a grand, lightfilled home. Spanning across three levels, it combines soaring volumes, opulent finishes, and thoughtful planning to redefine spacious urban living.
Set within a dense residential neighbourhood in Delhi, where homes stand closely packed together, Casa Paradiso redefines the idea of spacious urban living. Designed by Studio Reset, the 11,000 sq. ft. residence transforms the constraints of a linear plot into an experience of openness, grandeur, and abundant natural light.
For Ansh Goel, Founder of Studio Reset, the design brief was to create a home that felt expansive in both scale and character. Rather than relying solely on the floor plan, the design uses verticality as its defining element, allowing space to unfold through soaring volumes, interconnected levels, and visual openness.
Elevated above a stilt level, the residence is organised across three floors around a dramatic triple-height atrium that serves as the heart of the home. More than a circulation space, the atrium channels natural light deep into the interiors, creating visual connections between levels and enhancing the sense of openness. Complementing this spatial strategy, rooms feature ceiling heights of over 13 feet, reinforcing the home’s grand proportions while ensuring every space feels lightfilled, airy, and connected.
“Supporting this spatial ambition meant resolving the structure very carefully. We were dealing with significant height and large spans, so the challenge was to make sure beams and columns didn’t interrupt the volume, allowing the atrium to read as one continuous, open space,” shares Ansh. Yet the facade reveals little of the spatial drama unfolding within. It remains deliberately restrained with clean lines and a muted palette of concrete, tile and metal, subtly offset by elements of wood. Windows and balconies are concentrated along this front edge, modulating the surface through an interplay of recesses and projections. Within this order, Studio Reset introduces a curved terrace and a circular window to lend a gentle counterpoint to the facade’s orthogonal discipline.
As one steps inside Casa Paradiso, scale becomes the opening statement. A towering 23-foot entrance door leads into a double-height foyer, transforming arrival into a moment of quiet grandeur. Materiality further elevates the experience, as wood and marble envelope the walls in their natural texture and tonal depth. From the foyer, a staircase leads upward toward the triple-height atrium. At its base are the living and dining areas, where the generosity of scale allows even daily gatherings to unfold with a quiet sense of occasion.
The kitchen sits just off this core, while the master and guest bedrooms remain tucked along its quieter edges. On the first floor, the children’s bedrooms are arranged around the atrium, allowing visual connectivity across levels while preserving privacy. The journey culminates on the uppermost floor in an entertainment lounge that spills onto an open terrace. “A conscious decision was made to limit the number of rooms so that scale and spatial generosity could take precedence over density,” explains Ansh
Across these expansive interiors, a contemporary design vocabulary takes shape. The living and dining areas are anchored by bespoke pieces in linen, brass, marble and wood, arranged beneath an installation of pendant lights that lend the space a quiet sense of luxury. Yet the eye is inevitably drawn to a defining presence: the staircase. Composed as a floating structure clad entirely in marble, the staircase reads as a monolithic sculptural form within the volume. A vertically fluted wall behind further accentuates the space’s strong vertical rhythm.
Each bedroom is conceived as a suite, complete with a lounge, walk-in wardrobe and bathroom. The master bedroom remains calm and tactile, where leather and wood panelling frame the bed wall within a largely neutral palette. The son’s room is anchored by a black panelled wall, its ribbed detailing referencing a visual motif repeated across the home’s interiors. Darker tones deepen the palette, while playful, sculptural pieces introduce a sense of character. The daughter’s room shifts to softer tones with wallpaper and mouldings, while the generous ceiling height allows for a two-level walk-in wardrobe linked by a glass bridge.
In its unfolding, Casa Paradiso challenges the equation of luxury with footprint. Through an orchestration of height, openness and connection across levels, the house advances a vertical spatial strategy. In doing so, the experience of space itself becomes its most compelling expression of luxury.
