Breathing Life Indoors

Designed to ensure that the spatial narrative feels as vital as oxygen, this home by Purple Backyard in Mumbai is a breath of fresh air

From the very start, Apartment O2 was imagined as a tranquil hideaway-a space where every family member could shed their worries and simply breathe, yet still feel that essential buzz of togetherness. This was never just about designing a comfortable home; it was about creating a living stage for a couple and their two kids, all bursting with creativity and energy. Whether it's going head-to-head over a chessboard, constructing colourful Lego kingdoms, or breaking out the board games for a spirited family showdown, the apartment invites this clan to connect and unwind. We wanted our home to feel as vital as oxygen, something genuinely happy and alive.
