![]() ![]() The spatial aesthetics for this home are all about continuity in elemental language, colours, textures and materials that create a uninterrupted spatial flow and visual expanse. We also brought in the duct space in the mother’s room to make a walk in wardrobe accessible from the bedroom. These perfectly complement the base colours in grey and sea green. My love for prints is drizzled in here by the inclusion of floral wallpaper with birds perched on branches with flowers from the Payal Singhal collection of Marshalls wall coverings and the foliage art by Calcuttan gallery. The mother’s room was homage to her love for nature. This well designed home office space now becomes a motivation for our client to work from home successfully. This alteration suddenly made the passage area visually lighter and brighter.Īs we look from the passage into the work from home space, we can’t help but appreciate the ample amount of light filtering in through the huge window and washing over the previously dark and dingy passage. The second change was to break the wall between the passage and the balcony taking in the balcony space and converting it into a work from home office. The entry of the kitchen was modified and a sliding glass door added which allows privacy and visual access whenever needed. ![]() We divided the kitchen into the wet zone which contain the washing and drying activities and the dry area where the cooking and storage happen. The first included the unused duct area beyond the kitchen to be taken in to make the kitchen larger. In terms of spatial realignment of the floor plan, we made 2 major changes in the layout. The living roomhas a long continuous wall which was panelled with pop mouldings and painted in a bluish grey tinge allowing it to become an understated backdrop for the furniture pieces Our design team tried to represent and replicate the simplicity and peace we felt within the client’s own nature. It was to be converted into a welcoming sanctuary. The home needed to make the occupants feel at ease. The decision was to retain none its existing elements but to remodel the entire space as per the new brief. We started by stripping the house to its bare shell. Our task was to make the most of the floor space of this typical 2.5 bhk compartmentalized apartment with minimum turnover time and budget. We figured that with the use of the right materials, colours and elements we could create an illusion of expanse and spatial volume. When it comes to typical Mumbai apartment layouts, the clients put forth two main requirements: one to make the space feel as large and visually expansive as possible and two to maximize storage space. ![]()
