Mumbai-based Interior Designer Manish Dikshit Diligently Uses Asymmetry As A Design Element To Create A Spacious And Luxurious Abode In Mumbai.

Asymmetrical Aesthetic
 Designing an apartment comes with its own set of challenges, and more so, when two apartments are joined to form a cohesive whole. Issues like double kitchens, balconies, odd corners and asymmetrical space have to be skillfully handled. In this case, the client having lived in Rajasthan, wanted a spacious abode and Manish Dikshit, design principle, AUM Architects rose to this challenge and provided a ‘bungalow-like’ feel in a 1,266 sq. ft. area apartment in Jogeshwari, Mumbai.

Since the client desired an urban charm along with a touch of ethnic sensibilities, Manish decided to eschew traditional Indian motifs in favour of contemporary elegance with a dash of ethnic chic, as seen in the laser-cut headboard of the master bedroom and gold tints in the living room. Manish approached the project by planning the layout based on their requirements and then added flourish through an aesthetic appeal.

By combining two apartments, the living room is transformed into a long, irregular shaped space. Various Zones for different functions are culled out: a breakfast counter snugly fits into a niche; a formal dining space, a living area with seating and a cosy corner seating near a window make this a spacious eclectic space.

The large window on entering the apartment was an odd challenge that was creatively overcome by camouflaging it to look like a niche. By framing the window in marble, using wooden blinds, crafting an end-to-end console, placing an attractive ceramic and gold lion along with some artefacts with spot lighting above accentuates the area making it look like a niche indeed.
