A PARISIAN BROOKLYN AFFAIR

From the bustling energy of a Brooklyn brownstone to the artistic sophistication of Parisian apartments - every corner of the Summer Haus in Mumbai by Anjali Mody transports you into a tableau of design excellence

A PARISIAN BROOKLYN AFFAIR

Nestled within an urban jungle, a quaint yet unmissable bungalow exists. Exuding architectural styles ordained to emulate the plush sophistication of a warm Parisian home, it melds seamlessly with the bold vibrancy of a bustling Brooklyn brownstone. Exhibiting a delicate contrast with its French New Wave-like snug amidst the cold, steely demeanour of the towering skyscrapers it cohabits amidst — the Summer Haus evokes a sense of romanticism and nostalgia that teleports you into what could best be described as a whimsical movie set, out of a Wes Anderson film. Owned by Mumbai-based filmmakers Gayatri and Siddharth Tewary, this two-storey residence is nothing short of exemplary despite its modest plot size of 3,200 sq ft and compact floor plate of 1,720 sq ft. It admirably reaches skyward in a Tetris-like formation, encompassing a mere 2,800 sq ft of carpet area — embodying the collaborative efforts of interior design atelier, Josmo and The Architecture Company (TAC). With its intimate floor plan, functionally intricate rooms, and a charming garden breakout space, it challenges perceptions with myriad windows and visually interconnected spaces. And, while TAC worked on the architectural aspect, Anjali Mody, founder of Josmo is the genius behind the immersive design experience. As you step into the Summer Haus, you are immediately enveloped in an environment brimming with eclectic dynamism where the interplay of materials gracefully guides the transition from informal to formal spaces, infusing each area with its unique tone and character.
