Interiors at Godrej Verano — Atelier, Mumbai

Interiors at Godrej Verano are by Atelier, Mumbai, completing the design roster alongside UHA London and PL Design, Bangkok.

Interior appointments are the easiest to misread, so it is worth being precise about what they usually cover — and what they do not.

What the interior designer typically controls

On a project of this type, the interior practice generally shapes:

• Common areas — tower lobbies, lift lobbies, corridors, entrance experience
• The three TriBay clubhouses — which at 2 lakh+ sq.ft. is the bulk of the work
• Show apartment design — the reference standard buyers are shown
• Material and finish palette for apartment handover specification

What it generally does not cover is the fit-out of your own apartment beyond the handover specification. A luxury apartment in Gurugram is typically handed over with flooring, bathroom fittings, kitchen counter, doors, windows and paint — not with wardrobes, modular kitchen units, light fittings or furniture.

The specification questions that matter

When the specification sheet is released, work through it in this order:

1. Flooring — material and size in living, bedrooms, balconies and service areas
2. Bathrooms — brand and grade of sanitaryware and CP fittings, and whether they are the same across all bathrooms
3. Kitchen — counter material, whether a modular kitchen is included or only the platform
4. Doors and windows — frame material, glazing type, and whether double glazing is used on the west face
5. Air-conditioning — VRV/VRF provision versus split provision, and whether outdoor units are concealed
6. Ceiling height — floor-to-floor versus finished floor-to-ceiling; the second is the one you live with
7. Electrical — points per room, home automation provision, EV charging provision in parking

Why common-area interiors matter more than buyers think

You pass through the lobby twice a day for thirty years. In resale, the lobby and club are what a prospective buyer sees before they reach your apartment. On a four-tower project with a small unit count, common-area quality is a disproportionately large part of the address's perceived value.

At 2 lakh+ sq.ft., the TriBay clubhouses are the single largest interiors commission on this project — which is where the Atelier appointment does most of its work.

Fit-out budgeting, realistically

For a 2150–3900 sq.ft. luxury apartment in Gurugram, buyers commonly spend a meaningful additional sum on wardrobes, modular kitchen, lighting, false ceilings, and furniture. Plan it as a separate line in your total outlay alongside the cost sheet — it is not a small number, and it lands right when your final payment instalments do.
