"Having worked with the clients for their house in Goa we wanted to design their apartment as an open plan white gallery like experiential spaces that connect constantly to nature bringing in a filtered sunlight recreating an atmosphere characteristic of bungalows or houses." says principal designers Amita Kulkarni & Vikrant Tike.
Merging three compact apartments, both clients and ourselves were keen to hack most of the walls that were not structural, and convert the dark dingy existing rooms into a seamless mix of gallery like large living, entertaining, playing and artistic spaces.

The living is designed as an open free-flowing gallery space with softer corners, dynamic ceilings and bold sculptural furniture that integrates with the fluid interiors exuding a feeling of expanse and drama.
