Working within a tight budget, natasha aggarwal adopted an understated aesthetic that elevated the overall look of this mumbai apartment
In a crowded and fast-paced metropolis like Mumbai, time, money and space are all valued at a premium. Natasha Aggarwal of NaCL faced restrictions on all fronts while working on this city apartment.
“The restricted budget and lack of time gave us the opportunity to be more creative with minimal elements,” says Aggarwal. Her final design for the space was a 2,200 sqft, 3BHK apartment that was compatible with the clients’ social lifestyle.
In accordance with this, the living room and den were made the focal points of the apartment. Both these spaces set the tone for the minimalistic, straight-lined aesthetic that defines the apartment.
As for the rest of apartment, the clients occupied two of the bedrooms, while the third was turned into the den. “The house has been intentionally divided into two distinct parts — one half for the private spaces, which houses the bedrooms, and the other half includes the living and dining areas, den and the kitchen,” says Aggarwal.
The layout was left flexible and Aggarwal chose not to clutter the space with too much furniture, opting instead for a more minimalistic approach.
