This spacious 3200 Sq.ft house is located in one of the most prime areas on Mumbai. This 5 BHK house in the 50th floor having only glass façade on the exterior and with a ceiling height of 12’0” was a luxury for the designer. This spacious house to be designed with only natural color / materials like wood, whites, marble, etc. and simplicity was the brief given to us by the client. With the given brief, we created material palette with white marble, fluted wood, white veneer, cane and solid wood, except the blue color in the kid’s bedroom. This was very hard to convince the client but when the final outcome finished, they too understood the importance of color. ‘The White House’ with glass façade is an embodiment of luxury in simplicity.
