With its neat grid layout, integrated spaces, indoor-outdoor connect, muted colour and materials palette, Mansarovar designed by Manish Kumat is a residence that spells elegance.
-

‘Mansarovar’, named after the abode of Lord Shiva, resides a family of six. Distinct in appearance, this doublestory bungalow manages to combine nostalgia with the practicalities of modern living and luxury. This is evident in the rustic exterior material palette, masterfully curated Indian decor items, and a keen reverence for traditional architectural elements.
“The client, Mr Bajaj, wanted a residence with a quiet sensibility and a sense of space in its ethos,” shares Manish Kumat, the mastermind behind the design. “Functionally, they wanted a home with distinct public and private areas; a formal drawing room along with a family room with an adjoining dining room and a contiguous kitchen, besides four spacious bedrooms, sit-outs, a home theatre; ample storage space, ventilation, natural light and greenery,” he adds.
