The site, located in South Mumbai, offers captivating sunset views of the Mahalaxmi Race Course from the Living and the Primary Bedroom. Designed for a nuclear family that seldom hosts guests, this home was envisioned as a tranquil ambiance through both its design and the atmosphere it exuded. The clients desired spaces that offered respite from the bustling city life, with a specific focus on incorporating muted and earthy palettes. 

Comma skillfully recognized the potential for interplay of volumes using interior architectural interventions and ingeniously incorporated baithaks (sitting areas) and intimate nooks into each room. These spaces provide versatile seating options and create serene environments for relaxation, socializing, reading, sleeping, and enjoying the captivating views. By carefully selecting and harmonizing materials and elements, a seamless connection was forged, binding the entire site together to create a cohesive, harmonious home.

As you step into the residence, the foyer reveals a captivating vantage point, providing a glimpse of the interconnected living and dining areas. The dining area connects to the prayer room, kitchen, and utility areas, ensuring convenience and functional flow. Moving from the living area, one can access the two bedrooms. Enhancing the concept of a typical apartment, each space is thoughtfully accompanied by its own baithak, creating a unique living environment for the entire family to enjoy.

The living and dining areas seamlessly converge, harmoniously united by a veneer false ceiling, elegant marble flooring, and a lime-plastered paneled wall that spans the expanse of the room. Custom-made furniture complements the earthy palette of the home, with sleek marble tables and carefully curated accessories adorning the Living and Dining areas.

Embracing a minimalist design philosophy, the bedrooms exhibit clean lines and cohesive materials that blend harmoniously rather than seeking individual attention. The parents' primary bedroom embraces a warmer contemporary palette, featuring wood elements complemented by accents of brass. The second bedroom embraces a soothing combination of blue and grey tones, heightened by striking black accents.

The materiality of the baithaks varies, tailored to the palette of each hosting room. The living room boasts a wooden volume, while the bedroom baithaks reflect the unique character of the occupants. The primary bedroom baithak exudes subtle elegance with a color scheme that matches the mature palette preferred by the parents. In the second bedroom, a vibrant pop of color in the baithak infuses life into the space, designed to delight children.

This home is their respite, their tranquil island, a sanctuary that lets them pause, reflect, and simply be.
