The year it was laid out
Built for Officers
Planned for Armed Forces families who lost their homes at Partition. Broad streets and low density were the whole point — and they still hold.

Defence ColonyIn South Delhi, some addresses still introduce themselves.
Defence Colony
01
Why Defence Colony
A colony built for officers, and kept like one.
Five minutes on foot
The Market
Fine dining, old-guard restaurants, cafés, florists, wine shops and an art gallery — arranged around a fifteenth-century Lodhi tomb that still sits in the roundabout.
Residents in the whole colony
Green and Quiet
Kept parks, mature trees and streets wide enough to breathe on, held together by one of Delhi’s oldest residents’ welfare associations.

The House
A house is only as good as the family that keeps it.
Six levels, one owner, no managing agent. The family has lived on the ground floor since the house was built, which is the whole reason the rest of it is in the condition it is.
