FRESH FACED AND FUNCTIONAL

Heady tropical touches and refreshing greens intersperse with solid whites in this urban family home by Zero9

IT’S not often that you hear of a homeowner who prefers an all-white home, and a designer who manages to create a thematic warm white in response. But for this Mumbai home by Prashant and Anu Chauhan of Zero9, that’s exactly how the brief, conceptualization and execution played out. The family of four, a couple and their two young children, had their apartment in a new building ready in eight months' time after the design team got a hold of the shell provided by the developer. After a couple of civil changes, including complete removal of the pre-existing marble flooring, the owners were presented with a contemporary residence with three bedrooms and their attached bathrooms, a living, dining and kitchen space devoid of barriers, and the highlight balconies that encompassed the surrounding vistas.
