From the architects



Located in central Mumbai, our client builds a 6 story building, 2 for each apartment, we simultaneously perform 3 interior design projects for 3 different clients, all from the same family; parents, (an older couple) and 2 families of young couples with children, each with different needs and personalities, this is how we address the same space with different distributions, each had a different reason on which interiors are designed, a concept far from typical housing in India, a space for living inside, contrasting with its urban context, with its social environment.


Specifically in the SDM apartment, after a talk with each member of the family, we got a well defined program based on the customs of each user and each space, the staircase located at the center of the apartment. It was designed as a sculpture in the space with more light and natural ventilation; with very subtle lines but protagonist of the space, it can be seen almost from anywhere in the public areas, it becomes the articulator of spaces and is replicated in other architectural elements such as blinds and ceiling; every space, every detail meets a special character of the users, every color, every picture, every kitchen utensil, every linen was specifically chosen to complete this project and to make it unique.


The pooja room or prayer room was the subject of a major investigation that is expressed in each element, color and lighting, the carving work for the board is a real craft, integrating these elements in a contemporary way was our way to achieve a space for contemplation, spiritual communion, peace and harmony.


Each bedroom has a different atmosphere and they have been specially furnished with pieces selected from the furniture fair in Milan, we can see a wide variety of exclusive designs, artwork, rugs and tapestries, mosaics applications, arabescato marble and walnut wood contrasting with the white of the general area.


The living is a place where the ceiling is an important element and which subtly illuminates the area, the movement generated in it responds to the frame beams that form the structure, ie, we have taken advantage of the space between beams to gain the maximum possible height.


The kitchen as element for family reunion has been designed on simple lines which together with the materials create a serene and elegant atmosphere.

Cloudea Futuristic Airship Floats In The Air Just Like a Cloud

We just spotted a cool airship that looks like a giant balloon, checkout what the designer says about this project:



Cloudea is a futuristic concept airship, the idea was to first, fly to one of the biggest events of the earth like Marathon of New York, Olympic games, or music festival. Secondly we will let people bring us their idea with balloons, and then make one of those ideas viable thanks to our design team ! :)


The airship will travel around big cities or places to answer human needs or provide help. We could work with charity like the Red Cross for example. A cloud, an idea, it’s Cloudea.
