Some homes are built around a sofa. Others, a view. This one began with a wardrobe not to Narnia, but to something far more unexpected. When a young Parsi bachelor imagined coming home late from work to his 750 sq ft Mumbai apartment, he pictured putting on a record and pouring himself a drink from a bar that felt like it had always been there. He wanted a home that didn’t perform for the outside world, but one that held him quietly at the end of the day.
So when he approached Sapna Tapuriah, Architect and Founder of Sapscapes, the brief was: a mood, a mindset, a kind of quiet masculinity. And curiously enough, the first design decision didn’t emerge from the bar or the living room, but from the wardrobe in the master bedroom.
