Mumbai-based architecture and interior design firm, Studio Hinge meld art, architecture, space and proportion for an ultra luxury apartment building in Pune.
“Studio Hinge was initially appointed to design the interior of the entrance lobby,” says Pravir Sethi, before going on to divulge how the scope grew to accommodate the interiors of the 8000 sq. ft. show flat with its private pool, double-height living rooms, the rooftop deck, clubhouse and spa, along with the façade and landscape.
For Pravir and his firm Studio Hinge, this project was an opportunity to work on exclusive and bespoke furniture and interior design. The most engaging features of this bespoke creation are the installations inspired by art and architecture, tastefully interpolating the spaces within the sprawling 8000 sq.ft.
Of these, our favourite being the frozen waterfall in glass on the façade, a kinetic wind sculpture right above the main entrance and a lobby lighting installation with 270 hand blown glass, stems with brass inserts and programmable fibre optic lighting that respond to the occupants.
“The brief was to use design to reinterpret luxury living. The space has been designed from the inside out with luxury in mind and not as an afterthought,” Pravir adds. While most apartment developers have a typical repertoire of amenities and premium finishes, 219 Boat Club boasts of a kind of luxury that has been paramount from the inception through to the execution of the property.
By extension, the fundamentals like space, proportion, natural light, ventilation, etc. were all major driving points that were kept in mind from the outset. The master bedroom is a sprawling space of 23 ft. x 17 ft. with windows and verandahs on two sides. The high-ceiling living room, verandahs and windows were designed to be ‘parked’ outside so as to allow a 100% clear opening.
