A modern home is apt for a new-age nuclear family. Functional yet stylish is how you describe Satish and Seema Balan home in Chembur, Mumbai. Designed by Ar. Bharat Shetty, Principal Architect, Bharat Shetty Architects, this four bedroom apartment for a family of four is spread over an area of 2,530 sq. ft.

This home has a neutral colour palette that is easy on the eyes. Located on the 12th floor, the home offers a panoramic view of the BARC hills from all the rooms, which blend seamlessly with the overall decor of the home.

On entering the apartment, a console and bespoke frame welcomes guests at the entrance lobby. The living room is fragmented into a formal seating area, an informal seating area and a dining area. “The informal and formal seating are visually divided by a metal trellis. The formal living room has white gypsum ceiling and the informal area has a smoke walnut veneer on the ceiling. The full-height windows allow a lot of natural light and the ivory coloured thick curtain and the sheer curtain gives a natural balance and complement the leather furniture around it and the woven flat weave geometric pattern rug, further enhances the formal seating area in the living room.

The living room has a beige and brown Breccia Aurora marble flooring with a combination of honed Travertine marble cladding and smoked veneer panelling on the walls.
