2X BOISAR

The brief of the project was to design homes for two friends on adjacent plots. The intention was to make each home look aesthetically as one and function either as one large whole or as two independent homes, if and when needed. The project utilizes individual fragmented volumes to create distinct areas for living, playing, work and leisure, creating pockets of micro-zones within the volumes. These independent structures are tied together by a central circular landscaped courtyard, which forms the focus of the design. This courtyard functions as a confluence of various recreational activities, each nestled in nature and was proposed keeping in mind that both homes were to function as one with the possibility of detaching and working indepe...

APARTMENT 901

The client brief was simple, to convert a 5 bedroom apartment into a lavish 3 bedroom apartment, in addition to the conversion of an open terrace into an intimate den.

A hand blown glass sculpture hovering above a gurgling water body held within the black box, greets the visitor to the home, directing him into the formal living area.

MY COUSINS HOUSE

Size: 1000 sq.ft The feature elements of this 2 bedroom home, located in Dadar Parsicolony, are its grand, breezy terraces that offer impressive views of the 5 gardens and Parsi Gymkhana grounds, set against the background of the city.

The new terrace, designed as an extension of the bedrooms, attempts to connect with the outdoors through elements such as wooden decking, trellis, turf and windows that open up to bring in abundant sunl...
