Life By Window Seat, Mumbai. Anu & Prashant Chauhan Studio “Zerog” Mumbai

A surreal sense of life in form of a “space hallmarked”in each zone, to pause and take a feel of life by the window is the design tune orchestrated by the Architect. A residence that is an output of amalgamating two apartments; formulated to provide a four bedroom and other common area facilities. The space welcomes everyone with its open and refreshing feel, defying the fact of its geography.
Right from the entrance moving to the semi-private area a right balance of soothing colours, materials and textures is seen in paneling, artwork, carpet, upholstery, loose furniture and landscape. This results into a conducive atmosphere; that is the backbone and ‘design mantra’ which is used by the architect for this apartment. The asymmetrical forms of furniture clubbed together to formulate a living space which overlooks a dining area that is set by the window, this together gives a sense of warmth to the user. The TV unit is comfortably placed from the seating; ensuring enough open space for kids to move around. A credenza unit with a patterned mirror is placed near the window to bring in depth to the space. The bright colours those are sparingly used in form of artifacts andsome portions of upholstery, lite up the atmosphere of the house in a rejuvenating sense.
