The house is in a uniform style, which is easily visible when you walk in. The primary focus for me was to ensure that each member of the family had their own There should be space, but the house should not stand out in terms of narrative."
From Shahrukh's old library to a place to visit for Aryan
Also, in the conversation, Gauri shared that 'Mannat' also has a school library for her dear husband Shah Rukh, where Shah Rukh can brainstorm while reading and discussing meetings and work... Not only this, but he has also designed a special place for his son aryan Khan in 'Mannat', where he can enjoy and work seriously.
He had said, “When Shah Rukh is not shooting, he spends most of his time in the library. Here, we have created a casual yet serious atmosphere. The library shelves are designed on the old-school model and provide an environment conducive to creativity. He (Aryan) hangs out there with his friends and the lighting turns this area into a nice place to watch movies and play games, but it's also a place where he used to study, write, and now work ''
Design is like art for Gauri and she likes to infuse the same energy and passion into every project she takes up. Thus, his house 'Mannat' houses a collection of art and paintings. Talking about it, Gauri had said, “Our bungalow is designed to host parties and dinners and houses a vast collection of art and paintings. It is the place to relax after a long day at work and it is also the place where we spend a lot of time with friends and family. Design is an art like any other and I hope to grow with it as an artist.”
