THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

In this luxurious Mumbai home by JOSMO, the picture window steals the spotlight

In one Mumbai living room, in the suburb of Prabhadevi, the Bandra-Worli Sea Link appears like apostcard magicked to life. Only, unlike in a postcard, this scene isn't permanent. It changes by the hour, or the blink, depending on the day. The only thing that doesn't change is the 20-foot-long window through which it is viewed. "It was this constant ebb and flow from sunrise to sunset that inspired the story of the home," says Anjali Mody, creative director of Goa-based design practice JOSMO, who was tapped by the homeowners, Shael and Samiksha Oswal, to design their newly acquired home in Prabhadevi.
