Nestled within the verdant enclaves of Walkeshwar, ‘The Dream Home’ is a testament to aspiration and architectural brilliance. Spanning an impressive 2,500 square feet, this three-bedroom duplex challenges design conventions and embodies a captivating design signature, meticulously crafted to fulfill the client’s desire for a serene retreat. Designed by architect Karan Desai, he boldly approaches each floor with distinctive styles, resulting in two independent wings that evoke different moods for their occupants.
A Marble Installation Sets the Stage
The main entrance, cleverly concealed without handles or keyholes, features an innovative e-key finger lock system that responds to a gentle slide of your fingers. Behind the discreet entrance lies a foyer adorned with a marble installation—an elegant screen that demarcates the common spaces from the rest of the house. A floating solid marble sphere, inscribed with the divine message “May you experience the inner bliss,” awaits just beyond the screen, further enhancing the ethereal atmosphere.
Reversing Conventions for Unparalleled Comfort
