SAMERR BALVALLY & SHILPA JAIN BALVALLY STUDIO OSMOSIS A HOME IS A STORY-TELLER OF THE OWNER’S LIFESTYLE, DREAMS, ASPIRATIONS AND WE FOCUS ON STORY-LISTENING FIRST. FOAID 2020

Project Name : World Tower The house should exemplify sophistication, in the form of rich materials with bold yet modest patterns Location : Mumbai composed with a sense of proportion, balance and minimalist elegance. Every detail and need had been Site Area : 2100 sq. ft. thought out and designed to take living concepts to the next level of luxury, practicality and optimization. The Project Area : 2100 sq. ft. client’s version of luxurious experiences, simplicity and elegant lifestyle was one of the major defining factors Initiation of the Project : Sep 2018 and inspiration. The world towers interiors have been designed by Armani Casa. We wanted the home to be Completion of the Project : March 2019 an extended arm of the tower yet a few notches ahead in the drama and story. The intention was to be Design Team : Sameer Balvally intricate in detail and materials as well as textures which are used in a complex manner yet exemplifying a serene balance. We wanted to enhance the sense of space with a harmonious colour palette of neutral Shilpa Jain Balvally colours augmented with detailed furniture, wall cladding and custom lighting. Client Name : Mr Bhoy - NRI Photo Credit : Ishita Sitwala Based on the root inspiration, the materials and textures revolves around neutral palette of white, various tones of taupe and greiges within the fabrics, wooden textures with hints of resin and antique metallic finishes. Variations of subtle yet sophisticated blues have been used throughout the house in various forms to mimic the proximity to the ocean and to add a sense of calm within the house. We wanted to maintain a balance between the high gloss and the softer textural finishes. With marble being the main choice for flooring and high gloss polyester finishes on the veneer, it was important to balance it with softer fabric wall cladding. The wall cladding are broken by metal inlays and enhanced with laser cut metal screen. Patterns are the highpoint of the design element yet not loud at all. These often entailed lead time to experiment, detail, make endless mock-ups, process and execute. It was challenging and time consuming to get the entire process right, in the end to see all these elements fall into place as they come together to form one cohesive design. The custom designed fused resin and wood dining table along with the complementing internal doors and the idea of light passing through show the detailed process it entailed and finally worked as expected. Design comes together successfully when the material chosen for the design reacts unequivocally. Design needs to be tweaked due to material workability limitations, expertise or simple logistics. The key is to collaborate with the right people to understand the problems and find viable solutions. Whether it is customizing lights, getting the paint shade and textures correct or getting the detail of that door handle correct. Also, getting uniformity on a larger scale with the best quality in mind is challenging compared to small samples that get approved especially if the job is labor/handwork based. The way the whole space opened up with respect to the planning after breaking down the walls and opening up the kitchen which itself was a elegant and chic space eventually creating an interesting social interactive connecting space in between.

SEEMA PURI MULLAN & ZARIR MULLAN SEZA ARCHITECTS & INTERIOR DESIGNERS A PLAY OF LINES! FOAID 2020

Project Name : Mani Bungalow Lines are the basis of any structure and to keep the purity of form intact we decided to use a Location : Mathura play of lines for the design, Starting in two dimension and then continuing to use it to create a Site Area : 29200 SQ.FT strong visual language in the third dimension too, therefore when first you see the bungalow Project Area : 25000 SQ.FT your mind registers a series of lines, some thin, some thick, some horizontal some vertical. This Initiation of the Project : Nov 2017 property in Mathura is a vacation home for the client and his family to enjoying some quality Completion of the Project : March 2019 time together. The plot has some beautiful trees which we wanted to pretty much build the Design Team : Seema Puri Mullan, Zarir Mullan house around. On entering one sees the house through the leaves of the tree located in the front and then when one approaches closer there’s another tree that the porch is designed Abhijit Hingankar, Makrand around. This makes the entry experience much more meaningful. The tree starts at the entrance Kalambe , Oswin Mascarenhas, and then pushes out through the large deck between the bedrooms above. Siddhesh Aroskar Photo Credit : Dinesh Mehta The tropical climate drove the design, therefore all the rooms were arranged in a manner to allow for through ventilation, each opening onto large covered decks which were further protected at the end by wood profiles. The plan thus formed a small front court with a water body and a large more private rear court. The rhythmic play of these wood profiles also becomes the design language of the structure. The design is a fusion of traditional concepts with a contemporary flavour. The architecture is such that the spaces seem to merge into one another and you can see right through the front lawn to the rear. All the public areas are at the lower level while the private bedrooms are above. The family lounge opens out to the water body in the front, and simultaneously connects with the rear court too, giving it some beautiful vistas. The theatre too opens out to a deck which ends near the water body. The volume of upper floor, is set back from the lower to create terraces for the upper rooms. We used a system of double walling with a 50 mm air gap to provide insulation. The balance between built spaces and open spaces provides sufficient natural lighting and the east- west orientation of windows provides through ventilation in the whole house. The whole project revolves around this dilution of the boundaries between interior and exterior, creating an intense spatial dynamics. 276

The fluidity in this space enables individual requirements to overlap with each other providing a cosy interactive space for the family.

This ephemeral marble screen, structurally hung from the ceiling is bound by an earthy terracotta frame with a void. A garden occupies this void. The green deck with its figural void negotiates the connection between the interiors of the house and street it overlooks. The slatted window screen further adds a syncopated rhythm to this formal organisation. The Terrace The terrace sequestered from the busy street is an area where the family entertains and unwinds. The home theatre room and the guest bedroom open into an open space with a Jacuzzi and open deck. The slatted roof and the raised green wall provide the required privacy to the space from the neighbours.
