The design of the sea view apartment in Colaba creates a tranquil and zen-like cocoon for the newly wedded couple. The focus while designing the art deco building was on invoking the senses through the elements of nature and maximizing the connection with the stunning sea view, which served as the apartment’s most captivating feature. The overall goal was to create a contemporary, clean, and beautiful minimal canvas with ample storage spaces and the flexibility to accommodate future needs as the couple grows their family.
The Sea View Apartment in Colaba Creates a Tranquil and Zen-Like Cocoon | Atelier Varun Goyal
Upon entering the flat through the beautifully crafted wooden door with intricate geometric wood and brass details, the stunning sea view immediately catches your eye from the wooden foyer, creating a warm and inviting ambiance.
To the right of the entrance, the living area seamlessly connects to the balcony through a clear glass collapsible door, blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors.
The living room layout features a versatile seating arrangement and a flexible dining table that can be easily changed as needed to suit different usages and moods.
On the left side of the entrance, a hidden pantry tucked behind a Japanese slider door is conveniently linked to the kitchen cum utility area.
Continuing forward, the cleverly designed study room serves a dual purpose as a guest room, offering a mesmerizing view of the vast ocean.
The quirky wooden wardrobe adds personality to the space, and the attached toilet features a luxurious bathtub made of Indian marble.
Adjacent to the entrance of the master bedroom, a sophisticated bar with wooden collapsible doors and brass cladding adds an elegant touch to the living space.
Finally, the living room leads to the master bedroom, where the bed faces the picturesque sea view.
The master bedroom boasts a beautifully designed dresser and a lavish attached toilet with separate cubicles for the WC and shower, adorned with elegant Indian marble and minimalist details.
The home breaks away from traditional luxury interior design trends that often emphasize grandeur and opulence. Instead, it redefines luxury by prioritizing understated elegance and simplicity. The interior project embraces a modern approach to luxury, focusing on clean lines and a serene ambiance, reflecting the essence of Zen living. This departure from lavish extravagance presents a refreshing and evolved perspective on interior luxury, where the emphasis is on creating a calming and inviting space without excessive ornamentation.
