Text description by the architects;
Amidst the quiet by-lanes of Mumbai’s plush Juhu, where one can easily discern the salty sea breeze, lies the latest project completed by Sumessh Menon Associates — a tranquil oasis of understated luxury that redefines the design style of Scandi Luxe. The design idea was born from the client’s brief — harmonious, clutter-free, tranquil, with just the right elements.
For the three generations residing in this house, it is the epitome of simplicity and functional beauty, being refreshing, breezy and energising. The objective was to showcase the beauty of simple objects and simply to maximise the plenty of natural light and ventilation and movement space available within the home.
Right from the entrance lobby, through the common areas on to the personal spaces, the design language is understated luxury marked with simplicity and clutter-free environs. Whether it is the unique furniture pieces, like the dining table, eye-catching elements like the raw stone-finish wall in the deck, or the personal spaces created for the comfort of the occupant, there is a lot of attention to detail.
The media room is the most interesting space, complete with fibre-optic ceiling to give the complete home theatre feel to the family who absolutely loves watching movies.
The colour scheme was a blend of serene blues, gentle greens, muted grays, creamy whites, and earthy browns, evoking a calming Nordic minimalist ambiance throughout the space. Light wooden finishes, creamy white marbles, and a variety of textured upholstery, complemented by subtle metallic accents, are seen throughout the house. The design’s enduring charm emanates from its incorporation of natural materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and a deeply human connection that resonates with almost everyone.
