Seaside serenity: This home in Mumbai by TS Design Works lives by its name
JAN 23, 2025 | By Team ELLE DECOR India
Stunning views of the sea, the Marine Drive and Mumbai’s skyline. This home, reimagined for a young couple by Tania Shah of TS Design Works, emerges as a tranquil oasis with breathtaking views as a protagonist. Sprawling over 1800 sq ft in a UNESCO-listed heritage building along the picturesque promenade of the Queen’s Necklace, Seaside Serenity celebrates history within a blend of modernity.
Reflecting the iconic architecture of the building’s Art Deco exteriors, the interiors are designed with nostalgia in mind. Developing a unique language, the historical elements are enveloped in a predominantly white colour palette, serving as a serene and understated canvas, framing the surrounding natural beauty.
With a hint of nostalgia
Honouring the heritage and old-world allure of the building, the home embodies a sense of Art Deco within various elements. The living and dining spaces are decked in Art Deco-inspired furniture, light-fixtures and a striking bar with wooden flutes, crafted with meticulous attention to detail. The lack of visual barriers serves as a spatial gathering space while adding a touch of vintage charm to the home.
Art Deco influences echoing the history of the surroundings, paired with contemporary touches ensure the demands of modern living are not compromised.
Frames of the sea
Originally a three-sea-facing bedroom home, the space is transformed to maximise the views of the sea through the living and dining space as well as the master bedroom. Prioritising spatial efficiency and visual comfort, fluidity in the layout enhances the functionality and aesthetics of the home.
The guest suite offers a retreat-like ambience with its lounge space, to unwind with comfort and privacy. Mirroring the clean and minimal theme of the home, the kitchen features sleek white cabinetry with camouflaged doors leading up to the utility area.
Enhancing the ambience of the home, the outdoor vistas not only offer visual appeal but become an integral part of space. As a result, the home not only celebrates the beauty of nature but also the stunning surrounding historical neighbourhood.
