Green Heaven!

The Urban life, more often than not, is busy and hectic, and travelling away from the city for peace and serenity becomes time consuming. Architect Rajendra Chandorkar, Executive Vice President, Architecture & Design, Oberoi Realty, decided to create his own retreat within city limits, by merging his penthouse with the lush green surroundings.

Located amidst the verdant green surroundings of Oberoi Garden City in Goregaon, Mumbai, lies Exquisite by Oberoi Realty, a premium residential project that offers an enhanced quality of life. Rajendra’s luxurious apartment opens to the vast green cover.

Describing the surroundings, he adds, “Everyday, I enjoy the view of chirping birds and rustling leaves. The duplex is contemporary, elegant and simple. Modern minimalism with understated luxury is what we have aimed for.”

The duplex is distinctly demarcated into two separate spaces – the upper level, which has personal space, and the lower level, where the architect entertains friends and family. One notes a sculptural staircase that aesthetically connects the two levels. The double-height living with an open kitchen seamlessly connects the two levels, while ensuring each level retains its essence.

Adding further insight on the nuances of design, he adds, “We as a team believe that the spaces you inhabit plays a big part in shaping your life. That is the design philosophy in all the projects, we have done so far, and my home is no exception. We have consciously carved out discrete spaces for different aspects of our lives. Be it entertaining, cooking, reading, relaxing, painting or plain old romancing, each activity has its own space, and each space is equipped with everything you need there.”
