This Home is Enriched in Greenery with its Outdoor Seating Design. Set inside the iconic RK Studios building in Chembur, this home immediately greets you with a quiet grandeur. The client approached the project with a clear vision- a home that felt timeless, warm, and deeply personal. She wanted a space that used wood generously, not just as a material, but as a way to bring in warmth and texture. The design was to be classic and understated, with an emphasis on elegance that felt natural rather than ornamental.

There’s a balance between old and new, softness and structure, function and beauty. What stands out most is not any single piece or room. But the sense of comfort that runs through the home is a calm, lived-in quality that makes it feel both familiar and refined. It’s a home shaped by the people who live in it, with just the right amount of restraint and personality.
The standout feature of the home is the expansive outdoor sitting design. Lush with greenery and dappled sunlight, it’s a relaxing extension of the living area.
A key requirement was to highlight client’s extensive collection of plants, which holds both aesthetic and sentimental value.
A timber gazebo with cane lights creates a shaded sit-out perfect for quiet mornings, while a built-in bar area allows the space to transition easily into a setting for gatherings.
