POETRY IN STONE

A stunning location, blurred boundaries between the inside and outside and clever spatial planning, result in a spectacular space that can’t help but attract eyeballs

- APOORVA SHROFF

My home is located on the outskirts of bustling Mumbai, in the quiet of the Sahyadri hills. The sweeping views of the Western Ghats in almost any direction are the highlight of this otherwise simple parcel of land. The capturing and framing of these picturesque landscapes was the primary inspiration behind the design. The disruptive architecture manages to create spaces of varying scales from monumental to cosy while it integrates into the home, the nature that surrounds it. The entryway is planned at the highest level under a large canopy that appears like a wing framing the first glimpse of this home in the Clouds. The floating lotus pond at the entrance, often engulfed in mist offers a breath of fresh air after the long drive out from Mumbai.
