M&A Architects have envisioned this apartment for a family of 2 staying in the Suburbs of Mumbai. When we first met the client we were made aware of their interest in arts and crafts. The brief of the project was to have an apartment with minimal design, realistic approach and handcrafted furniture done on-site.

The muted hues of browns, greys, black, and whites with a touch of brush gold, and brass add charm and depth to the house.
The living room has been divided into two sections, namely the entertainment/family area and the dining area. The TV unit is made with high-quality wood veneers and wallpaper.
The full-height unit gives an illusion of depth and height to the living room. The dining area has a marble table and chairs upholstered in leatherette with legs made of wood.
To have ample natural light in the dining area, the kitchen wall was taken down by us. The kitchen counter is made from Quartz by The Kalinga Stone. The cabinets were finished in Acrylic laminates to have a glossy finish.
The 10 feet long passage has been converted into a memory wall with curves coming out from the wall which gives an illusion of a higher ceiling. A foldable table is provided which also doubles as a breakfast counter.
The master bedroom which has all our heart has been thoroughly planned and executed with the upmost creativity. The highlight of the bedroom is the accent wall behind the bed has a tropical vibe with custom-made wallpaper on a curvilinear wall.
However, the TV unit is layered with different patterns and materials to add elements of interest and depth. The brown hues from the wooden flooring evoke a feeling of earthiness and warmth in the master bedroom as well as the whole apartment.
The guest bedroom has more shades of grey combined with wooden laminates. The flush built-in wall storage above the bed sets a soothing and relaxing atmosphere in the room at night.
The guest bedroom has a flush built-in the wall storage above the bed with cove lights. Each bedroom has a special characteristic design approach.
