A Home for 2 People & 18 Dogs

Описание: What does a home for two people and eighteen dogs look like?
For Shruti and Ian — founders of Raji: An Ancient Epic under Nodding Heads Games — it looks like love, memory, and belonging wrapped in colour, print, and story.

When the duo, hailing from Yorkshire and Kolkata, decided to make Pune their forever home, they dreamt of a space that merged their worlds — India and England, art and design, emotion and endurance. At Attirail, that intersection felt instinctive — we built them a world that holds their journey, their game’s roots in Rajasthan, and most of all, their 18 rescue dogs.

This house is an ode to every indie dog who was once overlooked. Shruti often says, “People always choose other breeds — I wanted this home to be a love letter to indies.” Every portrait, painted by Kohhra’s Himanshi, celebrates their furry family — regal, whimsical, and dressed in classic English portrait style, as if straight out of a Sherlock novel.

Designing this 4000-sq-ft home was both a creative and emotional challenge — every surface had to hold character and be resilient. Anti-skid floors for their paralysed rescues, custom dog nooks, and even a dedicated dog room with its own bath — the house was shaped around their lives, not the other way around.

Visually, it’s a love story between London and India — deep hues, vintage furniture, hand-painted details, and quiet nods to Rajasthan, where their artistic journey began. Every corner speaks of who they are, what they’ve built together, and the things they hold close.

This home doesn’t just accommodate love it was designed by it..
