Tasked with conceptualising the interiors of this 1900sqft apartment located in one of the highrises of Central Mumbai, Shilpa) ain Balvally and Sameer Balvally of Studio Osmosis visited the space to inspect it and were completely captivated. The apartment granted stunning views of the city skyline and the sea, and the duo sought to frame these views and create a home that looks outwards. "The vision for the home is a direct response to the client brief and the result of active collaboration with the client. They wanted a home that reflected their personalities and lifestyle" they say.
THOUGHTFUL PLANNING
In the children's bedroom, additional storage space has been provided under the bed and its design ensures that it is easy for the child to use. The bedroom also includes a walk-in wardrobe that features louvered shutters.
SHILPA JAIN BALVALLY AND SAMEER BALVALLY
Principal Architects and Co-Founders, Studio Osmosis
Shilpa Jain Balvally and Sameer Balvally set up their design firm Studio Osmosis in 2010 and have, over the years, built a diverse portfolio that includes residential, commercial, healthcare, retail, and hospitality projects. Studying and working abroad has been an important learning experience for them, something that has contributed significantly to shaping their thought process, allowed them to discover different ideas and approaches to design, and also served as a base for setting up their own practice. Their designs come together as a combination of functionality and creativity, and they believe in crafting unique spaces that narrate stories and offer users an enriching spatial experience.
