Timeless design shapes contemporary comfort in this Mumbai home designed by Open Atelier.

CITY LIGHTS

A home that carefully weaves the family story, this one is all about personalisation, strategic space planning and enhanced comfort. Nestled in the bustling city of Mumbai, a once 4BHK apartment - a serene 1600 sq ft haven for a young family of four – has been converted into a 3BHK, with a design that optimises the space while embracing a future filled with warmth and technology.

PERSONAL TOUCH

Keeping in mind the family story, bespoke artwork adorns the walls, and thoughtful details like a miniature study nook in the entertainment room ensure that the memory of their late daughter is ever-present.

The heart of the home, the living room, is a minimalist space designed for family gatherings, featuring a clean-lined TV wall with sculpted scoop panels. The adjacent kitchen, discreetly tucked behind fluted glass, is a model of functionality, seamlessly integrating appliances and storage into its design. The home exudes understated elegance, eschewing the opulence of marble for the grounded warmth of site-cast terrazzo flooring. A palette of neutral hues flows through the home, punctuated by soft greens in the living area that echo the surrounding landscape, creating an atmosphere of tranquil respite.

MUSING MUSEUMS

A few months back, when I was in Budapest, I walked into a building that left me awestruck. The inquisitive me went on to explore, and I discovered that it was a museum with pixels on the exterior and that the curved structure of the building dipped underground to form the interiors, even as the garden I was walking on was the green roof of the building that interjected at street level! Woah! I quickly took some pictures and went on to research this building, and the more I read about it, the more I fell in love with it. And then of course I had to share it with you all!
