MAXIMUM LIVING

Optimising every inch is a prerequisite when it comes to flexible spaces. Sound space planning has the potential to accommodate the shifting needs of the changing world, be it social or environmental. Homes today demand malleable interiors that acclimatise with the needs of their residents. In some cases, it is as simple as adding a partition between rooms and in others, multi-purpose furniture is a crafty solution. Architect Shobhan Kothari has implemented flexibility in two master bedrooms, each displaying clever options. Complete with its own lounge, the bedroom is subtly divided by a sliding partition which then leads to a lounge area. On the other, a shaded verandah extended from the master, overlooks a private garden, blurring lines between the interiors with the exteriors.
