Wandering amongst the arches
This apartment interior involves shrinking many rooms into two expansive suites – quirky furnishings and formwork keep things lively
Interiors by Covet House
This home, located in an opulent skyscraper in the heart of South Bombay, features a stunning uninterrupted view of the Arabian sea at one end and of the city at the other.
The tower, complete with a lavish swimming pool and gym, captures the essence of luxury living.
This apartment interior is designed to magnify the luxury living experience.
Triumph of the arc
The apartment gets it affectionate name Half Arc House from the many quarter circles seen in it.
The first – a textured and painted arc – is seen right where the entrance meets the main L-shaped living area, and frames the latter room.
The art décor and the use of the Metamorphosis Wall Lamp from Boca do Lobo complement the golden details in the artsy console and ethereal mirror.
In the guest bedroom, the arc presents itself within the teak wood and all black, back painted glass cupboards.
And the bow appears yet again in the master suite within the pink shelving unit behind the bed.
Expansive eyrie for one
However, it isn’t just this idiosyncratic symbol that gives the apartment its lavish vibe.
Another reason is that, at 130m², this city home is intended for the use of just one occupant – which is a luxury in itself.
Add to that, as per the owner’s wish, the original three bedrooms have been broken down and converted into just two suites with rather generous layouts.
The owner's brief was realised by creating an expansive master suite, complete with a master bath, a spacious walk-in wardrobe and a dedicated shoe room.
Being the primary residence of a young, single business woman, the apartment has been curated to give a homely, feminine appeal with a quirky look and feel.
This was achieved by using certain geometries – the half arc, in particular – as well as a rich yet restrained material palette, that works in contrasting pairs, in terms of both colour and texture.
Sumptuous touches
Several sumptuous touches are crafted throughout the abode.
In the primary living area, surrounded by plush accents and accessories, and beside a cosy balcony, is a television set concealed within a primary shelving element.
The shelving unit is the feature element of the space, with its bespoke textured brass facade, designed to stand out against the ebony, half arc shelves behind it.
With the shelving unit, the homeowner has the freedom to alter the facade of the room as per her requirements.
Covet House’s pieces were essential to provide the luxury details needed for this project, with pieces from some of the most renowned luxury brands (including Boca Do Lobo, Delightfull and Brabbu; Koket, Maison Valentina and Circu; Luxxu, Essential Home, and Rug’society; Pullcast, Foogo, and Tom Dixon; Baxter and Caffe Latte) providing not only the pieces, but also inspiration to this design.
Global luxury brands have been paired with indigenous local luxury brands including Scarlet Splendor and Jaipur Rugs, and can be seen from the very moment one steps through the front doors.
With its lavish spaces, its unique yet refined material palette, and plush furniture, this apartment is designed to offer a luxury living experience like no other.
