As you walk ahead, the living room features furniture in neutral tones that complements the dark rug and flooring underneath. It opens out to a balcony ahead with sheers filtering in natural light during the day. “Custom-made artefacts appear in obscure corners and make for interesting conversation starters. The carefully-curated pieces are kept monochromatic like the rest of the house that allowed us to play with forms rather than colours,” shares Kamdar.
The leather finish kadappa stone flooring leads into the media room that is perfectly framed by two symmetrical bar cabinets on both sides. Concealed by black, wooden, fluted, sliding-folding doors, this room showcases the pièce de résistance of the house—a majestic totem light installation encased in an elliptical wall.

Inside, a hand-painted ceiling creates a dramatic flair to enhance the room’s overall appeal. Says Kamdar, “The media room was envisioned as a space to pause, reflect, wander, and weave one’s own stories in a rather whimsical setup whilst appreciating artworks by MF Husain and Sunil Das.” As you transition into the passageway, an alcove in the wall reveals Buddhist prayer wheels. Explains the designer, “The client wanted to have a transitional piece in the passageway inspired from Shiva’s ananda tandava. The artist took inspiration from Buddhist wheels but etched the story of Shiva on them.”
In the primary bedroom, a moody, charcoal effect takes over through the walls. Strategically placed decor pieces add to this effect while a black, burnt wood four-poster bed is laced with an in situ marble and terrazzo flooring. The bathroom in the bedroom is connected to the walk-in wardrobe and strays from the dark palette with the use of colourful China mosaic tiles on the walls. “We ensured that the functionality of the home does not come in the way of its aesthetics. Its detailing and accent pieces make it a modern seaside oasis,” concludes Kamdar.
Each bedroom in this apartment has its unique identity that reflects its owner’s sensibilities. In the parent’s room, a fabric bed headboard takes the spotlight, while the son’s room has Bauhaus and Art Deco influences.
