Lalbaug Residence : Mumbai
The Gala Residence, designed for a young couple and their tiny tot is a carefully planned apartment in a newly developed building at Lalbaug. Shah’s signature style, the epitome of minimalism, clean lines and geometric character finds voice in this apartment, a three bedroom lavish space with its very own plunge pool.
The entrance holds one of Shah’s infamous lingam benches, opposite the eclectic scarlet splendour black and beige shrine. A curved white gloss wall takes you across the guest bedroom into a living and dining space that embodies colour and a multitude of focal elements through white veneered walls, Afolki rugs and David Groppi’s ‘Moon’ that overlooks the endless deck, lush with greens.
The children’s room comes next with its woven flooring and hidden elements of red through custom bookshelves and beige skirting that mimics a stack of books. Adjacent to this space is the master bedroom with its walk in closet, study and view that holds the best spot in the house, neutral in look and feel yet different with its choice of upholstery. Every space within the home is carefully designed to be unique, yet comes together so beautifully through vanishing thresholds, contrasting lighting and breathtaking flooring that are standing examples of perfection.
