This contemporary flat in Mumbai has been designed by Rooshad Shroff and his team at Rooshad Shroff Architecture and Design as an elegant expanse peppered with customised handcrafted furniture and innovative 3D-textured surfaces.
The most eye-catching of the design aspects in the home are the 3-dimensional textures. This starts with the main door, whose wooden surface is a delightful series of small squares that have imploded at the centre, with their edges opening up and jutting out slightly in the middle. This pattern repeats itself throughout the flat, setting up an interesting visual reference point for the viewers of the show flat. Another distinguishing aesthetic quality of the rooms is the play of light-and-shadow, a factor that was deliberately allowed to cultivate by the team as a cause and complement to the varied textures.
This flat at the Oberoi Exquisite may seem deceptively simple on the surface, but it is actually composed of carefully thought-out design elements. The visual humility of the space probably works to its advantage, as unlike putting up an in-the-face show for the visitors, it invites all to explore and infer the various design elements for themselves.
