Rajiv Saini & Associates compel Atelier Giorgetti’s first space in Mumbai to shed its garb of a showroom and don that of a home. The space was on the tenth and eleventh floors of a new residential development and also included the 12th floor terrace space. The location prompted Rajiv Saini to style the project as an apartment house. The partition walls of the original apartments were gutted and a more open plan was incorporated to give the visitor an impression of meandering through a private home. The first level of the house has been dedicated to the bedroom suites. The flow of spaces between the bedrooms is perfect. Both rooms are fully private, yet have an open plan; there is a conversation between the two spaces. The terrace displays Giorgetti’s comprehensive range of outdoor furniture. With the expansive views of the city on offer, it also doubles up as an ideal venue to host events and introduce new collections. The design team wanted to juxtapose the furniture materials (leather and timber) against a more modern palette of materials like limed oak, blackened metal and resin.
