Soaring high in the heart of the city is World One Towers, home to the finest in luxury living. Sprawling across one of its floors is a swish residence crafted by Design Hex, which promises exquisite interiors and the finest living experience mirroring the characters of the residence

A Sculptural Panorama

Plenty of people can design exquisite spaces, but only a handful can render personalities of the inhabitants into the space. Design Hex’s Shimona Bhansali is one such person, who with her inimitable design skills and exceptional taste, transforms each project into a work of art that’s a treat to live in.

That’s exactly what she did while designing the Kothari’s residence at World One Towers, Mumbai. Every bit of this expansive space is steeped in opulence. As you step in, you will be greeted by the essence of strong masculine stone textured arches. These powerful forms merely mark the onset of a sculptural journey. Enhanced stone textured arches continue into the single narrow passageway, created to lend character to the space. These natural crushed stone textures highlight the geometric patterns, giving the home its sculptural finesse. As you walk, you will notice how flawlessly the bold colours of the furniture contrast with the neutral hues of the stone textures around. And this is what the Kothari’s residence is all about - a truly luxe space that o ers the comforting warmth of a luxury home. Shimona Bhansali said, “We catered to the client’s fondness towards art and sculptures and emulated that within the entire house, making it a sculptural entity in its own right.”
