This 3-BHK apartment in the uber-luxurious World One Tower, Mumbai is home to a family comprising three generations.

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…

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.
