For this residence, designer Narendra Joshi wanted to bring out the intangibles in the form of vivid materials, panoramic vistas, simplicity and spatial grandeur. The entire penthouse spreads over an area of 4500 sq. ft. and has two different levels within. Being the connoisseurs of ethnic accents, Prashant Shah envisioned his new house to be a frolicsome cocoon of art and comfort. The designers came up with the concept of a modern-ethnic house with statement contemporary furniture details enveloped in conventional wall claddings and indigenous materials. The subtle warm palette used throughout the dwelling gives a very welcoming effect resonating the personality of its dwellers.

The layout comprises two staggered bays, connected by a small passage. Sequentially, one bay accommodates the entry, the washrooms and the master room; the other is an integrated living/dining/kitchenette volume. This orchestration allows the main spaces to remain open on at least two side, capitalising on the surroundings. The interstitial gaps between the two bays, and indeed, the rest of the plot, are landscaped.

Location: Pali Hill, Bandra, Mumbai Size: 3000 sq ft Design: Sanjyt Syngh Picture Credits: Deepak Aggarwal The location of the building is such that there is a view to the sea from mostly all sides and we wanted to take advantage of the same. The designer took advantage of the natural light and kept the space open on three sides. He tried to maximise the view from every angle possible. Also, to maximise the view and to avoid obstruction, the design team used mechanisms like where the television disappears into the ceiling and when not in use is out of sight. The house is a testament that a space can be dark and yet create the feeling of volume by using the right elements.

The Bachelor Pad is a New York-style loft - a rigid construction turned into a spatial milieu of hedonism. The extravagant two BHK exudes eclectic detail in materials and luxurious textures, with leitmotifs seen through and through. To execute the vision of of an inviting and mature space with a touch of history, a lot of the original century-old SoBo structure was retained. Recovered teakwood joists along with recreated ones highlight the ceiling with cove lighting, columns stand reformed in concrete with a stainless steel base. Blue Bisazza tile panelled flooring from the master bedroom extends into the ceiling of the bathroom, and everything has a sense of harmony and an element of the unexpected.

Location: Banjara Hills, Hyderabad Area: 3,500 sq. ft. approx. Principal Designer: Neeta Kumar Firm: Inhabit Picture Credits: David Dawson The space required a complete redo to make it feel like ‘you own it and want to dwell in it.’ This is a luxurious yet comfortable space, adding character while making it feel cozy and homey at the same time. Just like people’s attitudes, shapes can also determine character traits. A herringbone patterned floor extending to the couch design, highlighter tiles to add that “oomph” factor, beasty bee personalized fabric and wallpaper, gold tinted lighting fixtures, bespoke furniture designs, deep yellow mustard color – all come together to invoke an immediate sense of indulgence and affluence. Everything designed is not to match perfectly but to sit together in harmony.
