Through Shapes And Colours

December 21, 2021

Located on India’s west coast, Mumbai is known for being a financial centre as well as the centre of the ever-wondrous Bollywood film industry. Home to many famous individuals and three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, it’s one of those cities that should be on your bucket list. It’s a spot with a unique blend of cultures which has resulted in a distinctive Victorian and Art Deco style in terms of its architecture and interior design.

Going against that boldly opulent trend, however, is the exotic project dubbed as the Half Arc House in the southern Mumbai. This home sits within one of the most luxuriant skyscrapers in the area and is graced with both an Arabian sea view and that of a cityscape. The Half Arc House plays with curvilinear and contemporary forms and has a uniquely colourful palette that defies the style the area is known for. Playful and artsy, there is a postmodernist element found here.

The curved motif explains the name of this project carried out with Covet House and its family of brands. From the furniture pieces to the entryways, the trendy arcs are found all throughout this home. Even the art décor, such as Boca do Lobo’s Metamorphosis Wall Lamp, repeats this rounded look. This concept adds a fluidness to the space and provides for a textural experience. The hallway and its metallic materials create an opulent vibe, but once you enter the guest bedroom, you can find a warmth through the teak wood and the black shades. However, there is cohesiveness because of the repeated arch shape. Strolling over to the master bedroom, yet another design style is introduced.

This time, it’s a contemporary and feminine concept, with soft baby pink found in the unique shelving unit and the headboard. This feminine appeal and quirky look certainly pairs well with the resident here, who is a young and single business woman. As per the client’s wishes, the expansive master suite comes with a master bath, a spacious walk-in and a dedicated shoe room. Talk about luxury! Once again, the half-arc shape can be found throughout all these spaces, even in the most unexpected ways.The side table in the bedroom, for example, comes with chic rounded legs.

In the living room, there is plenty to feast your eyes upon. The furniture pieces, for one, are all conversation starters and highly artistic and curated, with plush accents and accessories to boot. The shelving unit of this space is arguably the star of the show as it comes with a bespoke textured brass façade. Half-arc shelves behind the façade are worth mentioning too. Each piece of furniture in this living room is truly special, having been sourced from all over the world, but also locally, such as with the Scarlet Splendour and Jaipur Rugs products. This home holds reverence for its location while bringing in a global-level artistry. Outside on the balcony is a symphony of bright colours that match the diverse city of Mumbai wonderfully. It makes for a lovely lounge space that relaxes the spirit.

This home is an ensemble of fantastic pieces and beautiful designs that come together with the help of the half arc motif. Through a careful and considerate design process, a lovely curation of items have been handpicked to realize the client’s wishes and thus create a bright home full of personality and artistry. In this city known for its lavish Art Deco architcture, this home takes the subtle route to prove that a refined palette and clean geometries can too create a luxury living experience like no other.
