The layout has around 90% RCC walls which also meant that there was barely any The Blue House chance of resizing the bedrooms/Living etc. The flipside was the living room was longer than it was wider , like a train bogie . Location The big question then was how to “compartmentalise the functions without creating barriers Mumbai and yet have them aesthetically separated so that each space has its own identity”. The solution lay in some clever manoeuvring within given constraints andclient requirements and that involved dividing spaces with choice of colour blue. Physical partitions wasn’t something we envisioned to go with so we usedcolours to do the same visually.The transition from blue to nude colour is made possible by copper as a material to fill in the groove, this formed a circuit, and the same worked best to differentiate between the wood and the POP and same for the flooring. 611
