This 4,000 sq ft home was built for a family of four. Originally, a four-bedroom apartment, we reconfigured it into a threebedroom, with a multipurpose adaptive space—the den, which can double as a guest bedroom when required, so most times it lends itself to the living/dining space, adding to the expanse. You enter through a vestibule, causing a moment of pause before immersing yourself in the rest of the home. Here a sculptural console with an abstract Ganesh artwork by Chintan Upadhyay greets you, leading you to a custom thumbprint armchair, which is used to either put on or remove your shoes.
Double the Fun
The living room has two segments—the formal seating space and the bar area. The bar area has a large cabinet which is floor to ceiling, finished in a metallic paint and has sliding folding doors that can be tucked in with the cabinet, exposing a large TV and bar equipment. The doors keep the insides of the cabinet concealed and discreet when not in use. Flanked on the other side of the bar is the dining space, which has a large 10-seater custom-designed table with a forest of legs below it, all individually designed and visible through the thick tinted glass top. The living room opens onto an outdoor deck, which has a breakfast nook and a casual seating with a swing, since the family loves to spend time outdoors.
