Midsommer is an attempt at capturing ‘a slice of summer’ within the limitations of a stock builder apartment. Bright, summer hues, textures of brick, marble and wood thrive in the apartment and pulsate with vigour to match the personalities of the inhabitants/residents - a family of 5 spread over 3 generations.

A 1200 sqft 3BHK apartment in the quaint neighbourhood of Parel situated in a 40 storey tower with gorgeous views of the city was our canvas. Along with this apartment, came the aspirations of a family to set up their first home in the city; something vibrant, energetic and full of character and life.

Like any other stock builder apartment in Mumbai, our challenge was to bring life, vigour and character to an otherwise basic apartment. Maximising and utilising the space to its fullest was our primary goal. Breaking the kitchen wall and adding a window to make a window abutting the built in dining seat. This added a bit of depth to the house and is perceived as bigger than what it actually is

White Brick wall around the house adds a bit of a textural and tactile element. Bright rust, mint green, grey, wood dominates the living and dining room.  Individual personalities come into play in each bedroom through design. Each room has a pop of colour balanced out by neutrals and whites.

Midsommer is a feeling you get on a lazy summer afternoon. It’s meant to be fuss free , easy, functional yet fun.
