Chosen for their finish.

No craftsman works on a Mahligai residence by default.

Our Approved Craftsman Network is earned, not assumed. Each trade is assessed on workmanship, finishing tolerance, reliability, documentation, conduct on site and experience with fine materials — and reassessed on every residence.

In the workshop

Major custom pieces — a staircase, a kitchen, a set of carved screens — are made in the workshop and inspected there before they travel. Full-size mock-ups are approved by the family before production begins.

Private enquiries

A handful of residences, each year.

Each enquiry is read personally by our Private Client Director. Tell us about your land and your family, and we will arrange a private conversation — in person, or wherever in the world you are.
