Vaulted B/W Haus is a project designed by DIG Architects. The owners of this space are a family of four. The husband is a founder of a closed fund and wife a PHD scholar ably assists him in his venture. The couple has two grown up kids doing their advance studies in foreign countries. The core requirement of this family was to have a clutter free cosy space with emphasis given on functional planning and at the same time a breakaway aesthetic. Also due to their social nature/status they wanted a space that was inclusive and could serve as a perfect entertainment pad. Photography by Ishita Sitwala.

This apartment is nestled in the central suburb of Mumbai, with a carpet area of 4300sft. Our scope was to design the apartment from the bare shell status to its completion. The bigger chunk of existing planning was maintained however changed were made to open up certain spaces of importance. The master walk in wardrobe was increased in size along with bathroom space. This increase in area was accommodated in the adjoining bedroom which was converted into a study. In the living room space an alcove was created to accommodate a decently sized fully serviced bar along with the main entrance lobby. This resultant increase in space spilled over into the kitchen prompting a complete replanning of it along with the servant quarters. Throughout the apartment smaller shifts of walls and partitions were planned to increase efficiency of the given space.
