Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan’s newly transformed studio in Chennai is a stunning blend of old-world colonial charm and modern rustic elegance. Designed by Nikhita Reddy of The Storey Collective, the 7,000-square-foot colonial-style bungalow has been thoughtfully renovated to reflect the power couple’s refined aesthetic. It was recently when Nayanthara and Vignesh introduced their studio for their followers on Twitter.
Located in Venus Colony, a prime residential area in Chennai, the space is designed as a home-studio where the couple can seamlessly merge work and leisure. The design incorporates an earthy color palette with elements like teak wood, woven fiber, linen fabric, and rattan, keeping the space warm and inviting. The interiors are enhanced with traditional Pattachitra paintings, wooden sculptures, and pottery, creating a balance between heritage and contemporary style.
One of the standout features is the terrace, which includes an upper-level bamboo deck offering serene city views. Large glass panels, wooden balustrades, and minimalistic yet sophisticated decor define the space, while wooden flooring and rafters add warmth. The studio also features a dedicated workspace for both Nayanthara and Vignesh, including private meeting rooms, a conference hall, and a cozy lounge.

With its airy, sunlit spaces, an outdoor backyard dining area, and a terrace café lounge, this home-studio is a perfect retreat that reflects the couple’s artistic vision and love for traditional craftsmanship.
Nayanthara’s work front
Nayanthara will be next seen in Mahesh Narayanan’s multi-starrer film which leads Mammootty, Mohanlal, Fahadh Faasil, Kunchacko Boban and others. Her previous outing was the controversial film ‘Annapoorani’ which received 3 stars out of 5 from ETimes and our review reads, “Nayanthara uses her screen presence to make us root for Annapoorani and her superstardom to spell out the messages of women empowerment that the film wants to convey. Like, “Thapukku responsibility eduthukara rights kooda ponnungalukku illa”. But performance-wise, hers, too, is of the fast-food variety – functional, with the stock expressions we have come to expect from her; in fact, in the portions when the character loses her gift, we see her channeling her performance from Netrikann!”
