Taking a minimalistic approach was the key to design this large residence in the lush Juhu suburb of Mumbai, in order to create the perfect balance of modern, comfortable and elegant. Designed as a getaway home for a Gujarat based family, the home is permanently inhabited by the client’s son, who works in the city. The design has been tailored to suit the client's desired contemporary style while adhering to a concise brief: A pleasant and modish place, fit for a bachelor, the home doubles up as a warm retreat for the entire family as and when they visit. Another important design factor is the Vaastu-compliance of planning, which was also driven by the belief of the client and was therefore integrated into the planning principles. Hence, the entire façade is panelled with mirrors, and plants are added to the space.
