Big things come in small packages. And in this case, extra small. Studio TAB architects were commissioned to redefine the spatial quality of a 600 sq.ft. home located in the heart of Mumbai. A home that has been standing for over two decades. A home that needed to keep up with the changing requirements of the family. With meticulous planning, they made room for a 2 BHK by redesigning this apartment that is beautiful and maximizes every sq. foot of the space. Architect Antara says, We stripped down the house to its shell and then began layering it with compact zoning. Shredding the concept of dedicated space for each function, we instead adopted a multi-functional approach that helps adapt each space to various functions over…
Aum Architects brilliantly navigated the challenge of an awkward living room floor plan and other curveballs that come with a renovation to do up this two bedroom apartment for a family that has its cultural roots in Rajasthan. The family relocated to Mumbai a few years ago, but the design influences of marble and wood are quite apparent and in a way reminiscent of their heritage. Mumbai apartments come with a modest real estate footprint. It’s becoming increasingly common to see two adjacent apartments being combined into one when the spatial needs of a family are high by Mumbai standards. Having said that, it takes architectural vision and expertise to make the most of the space — both for function and aesthetics — if the…
A compact view of the living + dining + kitchen in a single frame. This is a home tour of Mumbai-based architect & interior designer Mahek Lalan’s (of SML Architects) 2-bedroom family home. It’s not often you get to see how the architects’ design a home for themselves paring down the frills and superfluous artifacts. This home is particularly breathtaking as it gave me a beach-home vibe when I first looked at it for its offbeat usage of birch ply. Indian interiors are characteristic of dark wood stains being dominated by rose wood and teak wood for years. The freshness of the light-colored birch ply is refreshing as it opens up a compact home allowing the rooms to flow from one to another seamlessly. The…
A caveat: you may be tempted to bookmark this for a two room house design. I have a fascination for geometry. As a pre-teen, I would spend hours on those rainy afternoons, drawing repetitive patterns of triangles, squares and intersecting lines. The clever usage of parallel lines in this 2 BHK apartment designed by Komal Sachdev took me back to those self-indulgent afternoons 30 years ago. Grey, black, and oak as dark & moody colors rule the palette of this home. It’s not a overly minimalist, contemporary home. It makes brilliant use of a modest square footage to accommodate and make room for storage in two bedrooms. About the project: Location: Navi Mumbai Size: 1350 sq.ft Type: 2 BHK Apartment Designed by :Komal Sachdev Designer…
We have another Mumbai apartment today designed by Studio Node that is traditional in design but modern in outlook and comfort. Remember the hugely popular 800 sq.ft vibrant blue apartment designed by them? The style of this apartment is something all of us will instantly relate to. If you ask any new homeowner, what kind of a design style do you prefer, it’s unrealistic to expect a clear answer like “modern,” rustic”, or “contemporary”. Even when you do get a straight answer, the ideas in one’s head are always a combination of elements we’ve related to or aspired to some point in our lives. For instance, as much as I like a clean slate, minimalist look, the heart always longs to have yazhis or oonjals…
