almost WHITE is a project designed by Prashant Chauhan. A Delhi based family business with its large market in Mumbai when procured this ‘Service Apartment’ approached us with a simple brief of ‘a home away from home’. Photography by Pulkit Sehgal.
With stunning views of the Mumbai creek and skyline of the city across the creek, the apartment simply posed a question of how little we could do to invite this magnificent view into the space.
The simplest idea of going all white as the base led to selecting the Terrazo slabs to seemlessly unify the entire house into one space which also had split levels. The Living room welcomes you with a hint of a swivel chair next to this full size window which allows you to switch between having a conversation with the guest or enjoy the mesmerising sky. The sofa with the backdrop of a textured painting adds the much needed simplicity to the space. The windows when opened up also lets you enjoy this space as a balcony. The steps add to the dynamism of the space with a split level provided for a bedroom.
The upper bedroom is treated with a window seating that shares the same view as the living room. While the lower bedroom enjoys a separate balcony space with an outdoor swing.
The kitchen is kept very utilitarian and simple with a dedicated laundry room.
