Studio PKA, which places a strong emphasis on customer sensitivity, once again assists an old client in expanding and renovating his flat, therefore reestablishing the concept of a home and hearth that is constantly and continuously changing… The flat, which is situated in a posh neighborhood in south Mumbai, has undergone progressive expansion alongside the family. It went from being a modest two-bedroom apartment to a roomy three-bedroom apartment that is able to accommodate the family’s numerous visitors that stay at the residence. Over and over again, studio pka has shown to be the reliable option. The studio’s strength is in its efficient space planning, clutter-free designs, and precise time management, which are the hallmarks that keep customers coming back whenever they think of the word “design.” This is also the case, since the studio’s forte rests in these aspects. In spite of the fact that the neighborhood is somewhat busy, the house is blessed with unobstructed views of the surrounding greenery and windy days throughout the whole year. This is due to the fact that it is situated on a little uphill diversion off of the main street. This apartment emanates an easygoing, lived-in, and modern style with accents of ethnic charm. It is able to accommodate the preferences and needs of every member while yet maintaining an unified shape. An earthy palette consisting of browns, whites, blues, and grays serves as the backdrop against which pops of color emerge. These pops of color are always understated, making an undercover style statement through paintings, artefacts, a designated space for collectibles, an odd wall painted burnt orange, and other similar elements. The use of a variety of materials, such as river-washed marble flooring in the common area, hardwood flooring in the private spaces, natural stone and spanish tiles in the bathroom, treated corten sheets used as a backdrop for the bar, and so on, results in a palette that is subdued yet sophisticated, as well as cool yet warm. This results in an effective balancing act. The highlight is a multi-functional lounge that can be converted into a guest bedroom at any time. This is accomplished via the use of sliding-folding doors that separate the area inside the lounge while maintaining the highest possible level of seclusion. The house is endowed with a timeless character by the presence of rich but muted materiality, which enables the family to celebrate life and living while also expanding fluidly to accommodate the ever-growing requirements of the members of the family that spans three generations.
