AR. APOORVA SHROFF

Founder, Lyth Design

With a Masters in Architecture from the University of California, Los Angeles, Apoorva Shroff's tryst with design started from her artistic enquiries as a child. Her style was further defined during her professional stint in Manhattan, where she worked with NYC's leading urban design firm Cooper Robertson and Partners. Apoorva returned to India as a partner ar reD Architects where she was responsible for the growth of the then young firm. Early this year, she decided to venture out on her own to form her own multi-disciplinary design studio - lyth.

Located on the 29th floor of a Worli highrise, the elegant home of the acting legend Madhuri Dixit Nene and her husband, Ram Nene overlooks the sparkling city of Mumbai. Since their previous house was inconveniently divided between two levels, they decided to upgrade their new home to fit their evolving lifestyle.

To bring in the change, the new home's flow of movement and spatial planning were revisited, with the aim to achieve flawlessness while maintaining practical and functional viability. A nudge towards exploring vibrant colours and bold ideas brought out the best in the space, resulting in a pleasantly dynamic shift from the neutral tones that the star and her husband were accustomed to.
