This 3-BHK apartment in the uber-luxurious World One Tower, Mumbai is home to a family comprising three generations. Studio Osmosis designed the space to exude the warmth and character of a home by consciously downplaying luxury and the impersonal nature of a hotel suite, just as the family desired. Given the address, you would expect to find the space decked with imported furniture and expensive chandeliers. It’s devoid of all that; if anything it wears the heart of the city on its walls, shedding the formality and welcoming enough to put your feet up on the couch as homes are meant to be. About the home: Who lives here: a family spanning three generations Location: World Crest, The World Towers, Lower Parel, Mumbai Area : 2100 sd.ft. Type: a…
Will beige, black, and white ever go out of style? Call them boring at your peril, but these subdued tones are the kings of neutral palette that bring in sophistication like no other. This contemporary apartment in Mumbai designed by Komal Sachdev for Manghwanis aces the neutral game with finesse. The lack of color in this apartment design is compensated with textures, inlay patterns, and deeper shades of accent/furniture pieces.

That deep rich cobalt blue in the dining room caught my fancy enough to explore the rest of this modest 1,120 sq.ft apartment in Ahmedabad. Designed for a small family of three by Ignitus Architectural Studio, this 3-BHK apartment makes up for the minimal spatial footprint through clever layout and design. The family wanted a home that combines the simplicity of everyday living with luxury elements. Now, that pretty much sums up what most of us aspire in our homes! About the project: Who lives here: a couple and their son with parents often visiting Location: Saheli Sanidhya Apartment Scheme, Ahmedabad, Gujarat Type: an apartment with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms Year built: January 2019 Size: 104 square meters (1120 square feet) Designed by: Chirag…
Most Mumbai apartments come in two variations: ones with modest square footage or sprawling ones with a spectacular view. This apartment of 1050 sq. ft housing a family of four falls under the first category. Designers have to be at their creative best to make a small space work in order to accommodate storage needs and make it visually appealing. It was a blessing in disguise for this family as the designers – Bhumika and Chintan of Limited Edition Design Studio – were immediate family. Many things with respect to choices and lifestyle go unsaid when you are family. Aptly termed “The Snug House”, the house uses neutral tones for wall color and paneling, and is comfy and warm from the liberal use of solid…
Stone-crete plastered surfaces. Brick cladding. Cement flooring. Solid wood. Open spaces. No tiles. This penthouse belongs to Amit Sanghvi, an industrialist, who returned after spending several years in the US. He wanted his home to mimic the rawness and openness of the exposed industrial design that he took a liking to from his years of living in New York. Harsh Boghani of The Crossboundaries gave shape to Amit’s vision by transforming this concrete shell (literally) into a beautiful industrial apartment dressed in natural materials. Personally, for me, it was amazing to see this less-traveled path of appreciating raw concrete. The design is clean, clutter-free with a relaxed vibe, deceptively simple, and high on aesthetics. About the project: Who lives here: a couple, child and a dog…
This Ahmedabad apartment designed by Projects 3.14 is a fine example of flexible architecture, of fluid spaces; one where internally walls are not cast in stone permanently to delineate functions and spaces. It’s not often you come across a project of limited square footage like this that comfortably squeezes in as much as this one does. About the project: Who lives here: a young couple with their 7 year old son Location: Ahmedabad Year built: 2016 Size: 1050 sq ft Type: apartment with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms Designed by: Noopur Shah, Project Head, Projects3.14 Noopur expands on the brief from the clients, ” It was a conventional 3-BHK apartment that the builder provided.

Workshop Inc. designed this show apartment in Bangalore for Arvind Skylands. It has an unmistakable comfortable, lived-in vibe unlike the ostentatious, over-the-top interiors you see at model apartments. There is often a gaping gap between the sample apartment you see and the house you move in after interiors. The interior designers have bridged this gap by designing it as a space potential residents could visualize as being their home, rather than a glamorous, unattainable display house. About the project: Who lives here: Show apartment at Arvind Skylands Location: Yelahanka, Bangalore Size: 950 sq.ft Type: 3 BHK Apartment Completed in: 2017 Duration: 4 months Designed by: Varun Shah, Keta Shah, Harsh Panchal Contractors: Shilp Furniture, Ahmedabad Design aesthetic: lived-in vibe and a place that embodies the concept of “Hygge” Draped…
