HOUSE OF CURVES

Undulating walls and sinewy forms give this apartment by andblack design studio the illusion of a curious, never-ending river

- VAISHNAVI NAYEL, TALAWADEKAR

No matter who the client or what the brief, architects Jwalant and Kanika Mahadevwala, co-founders and principals of Ahmedabad-based andblack design studio, always find a way off the beaten path. Their latest project, an apartment on Ahmedabad’s Ambli Bopal Road, is no exception. With undulating wooden screens, amorphous lighting fixtures and furniture that mimics the movement of water, the interior flows like a meandering river, turning unexpectedly around every corner.
