Architect Karan Desai shares the journey of bringing a dream project to life in a recently completed 2,500 sq ft, three-bedroom duplex in South Mumbai. The project, a collaboration with entrepreneur Jignesh Shah, showcases an array of luxury brands like Molteni & Dada, Roche Bobois, and Flos.
The living room opens to the Mumbai skyline, adorned with a window from Sunroom Italy and furnishings like a Karan Desai-designed carpet and Glas Italia center table from AUX Home.
Desai's unconventional approach is evident throughout the residence, with unique elements like an entrance door in marble with an e-key finger lock and custom-made MS staircase finished in liquid copper.
The collaborative process allowed for the incorporation of 25 luxury brands and bespoke design elements. The result is a stunning home with a cantilevered staircase, a terrace illuminated with backlit Vondom furniture, and a master bedroom that serves as a showcase of craftsmanship. The project stands as a testament to the transformative power of collaboration and creativity in realizing architectural dreams.
