In order to create an atmosphere of understated elegance in an apartment located in the heart of Mumbai, Hs designs use clean lines and a color palette that is subdued. A palatial atmosphere is present in the 1,400 square foot house, which also has strategic aspects of mystery that contribute to the element of surprise that gives a personal space a sense of pizzazz. In order to hide storage inside wall paneling (as seen in the multi-purpose room) or appropriately within constructed furniture, the designers make use of the camouflage principle in a very clever manner. It is interesting to note that one would never be able to tell that there is a door hidden behind a large painting on the veneer sliding panel of the drawing-dining area. This is also true for the faux scenario, in which a window is concealed in order to create a study table in the daughter’s bedroom. A neutral interior envelope is created by the use of crèmes and shades of umber, while an element of intrigue is introduced through the use of premeditated pops of color in the dining table legs, niches in the walls of the daughter’s bedroom, soft furnishings, wall art and artefacts, and other similar elements. There is a sense of a careful eye for detail in the selection of light fixtures as well as in the modestly designed furniture and furnishings. To give an example, the living-dining area exudes an air of understated luxury with warm tones of beige and brown. This is achieved by contrasting the coolness of the Italian marble flooring with the eucalyptus smoked veneer ceiling and walls. Additionally, the aesthetics of the veneer ceiling are enhanced by the addition of custom-designed metal lights. A rich play of geometric shapes is scattered throughout this scene; possibly in an effort to deviate from the linearity and provide a number of different points of interest. The approach that was taken to this apartment with three bedrooms highlights the effort that was made to enhance the spatial impression of the already big residence, particularly the linear component of the flat. A mirror in the daughter’s bedroom breaks the linearity of the bedroom passage, adding dimension; similarly, two wooden sliding screens are affixed to the bay windows in the living room, breaking the linear expanse of the bay windows; a partially-open kitchen adds volume to the living-dining area, as does the bathroom that is partially open to the daughter’s bedroom. In the bedrooms, a sense of earthiness is achieved via the use of fluted teak wood, simple wall decorations, and a picture of a tree of life, among other elements, which contribute to the creation of an aesthetic that is homey and appealing.
