Tasked with conceptualising the interiors of this 1900sqft apartment located in one of the highrises of Central Mumbai, Shilpa) ain Balvally and Sameer Balvally of Studio Osmosis visited the space to inspect it and were completely captivated. The apartment granted stunning views of the city skyline and the sea, and the duo sought to frame these views and create a home that looks outwards. "The vision for the home is a direct response to the client brief and the result of active collaboration with the client. They wanted a home that reflected their personalities and lifestyle" they say.

THOUGHTFUL PLANNING

In the children's bedroom, additional storage space has been provided under the bed and its design ensures that it is easy for the child to use. The bedroom also includes a walk-in wardrobe that features louvered shutters.
