Residence at Bandra
The brief was to design a simple but provocative interior for a graphic designer. Three apartments of various sizes were combined into one larger 1600 sq.ft. apartment.
Concern for natural light not being available at the entrance resulted in a device dubbed ‘the glass box’ which allowed plentiful light to be filtered into the lobby through the bedroom. Storage/Wardrobes were used as divisionary tools to create pure rectangular rooms.
Solid Walnut, Cherry and Beech wood was used to make the shutters and furniture. Traditional wood joinery such as Mortise and Tennon, Dovetail, Splice and Lap, Tongue and Groove were used, expressed and celebrated as details within and throughout the contemporary context.

Hidden light sources define, delight and dramatize architectonic elements. Walls are monochromatically treated allowing the natural beauty of light and wood to create a sense of tranquility, so necessary in the hearth of the home.
