Geometry is at the heart of this 1,682sqft home in Mumbai. Architect Manish Dikshit takes us back to our math classes…but this is one lecture we are all too keen to attend. He craves out circular portions in walls, creates titillating inclines on the ceiling, crafts rectangular pieces of furniture, and plays with patterns to create a narrative that is layered with dynamic prowess. Manish is bold when it comes to creating visual demarcations between spaces, his materials of choice oscillate between scaled-up panelings to minimal colour tones that help in the differentiation.
