This Urban house is a project designed by Space Dynamix covers an area of 2400 sft and is located in Malabar Hill, Mumbai. The villa comprises a formal living room, family room, 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a study and powder room.

The layout is inspired by the traditional Indian courtyard house- ?Haveli? but radically reinterpreted and adapted to a contemporary context.
The main planning consideration was that the garden area needed to be maximised. This was achieved by arranging the structure toward the periphery in an L shape and keeping the rest of the plot vacant. The formal living room juts into this vacant space on one side thus forming a virtual courtyard enclosed on 3 sides.
The central courtyard opens out onto this large garden space making the house a part of the garden. The formal living room thus gets a panoramic view of the garden at the same time being segregated from the main living spaces affording them privacy. The inward looking layout allows various spaces to talk to each other across both levels creating an ongoing dialogue.
The colour palette of grey and brown is omnipresent giving a feeling of continuity to the spatial flow. The striking grey marble, paired with bog oak veneer is enhanced by accents of wallpaper, feature marbles, bespoke installations to add character to individual areas.
A conscious attempt is made to avoid creating dead spaces that do not contribute to the overall feel and flow.
