The transformation of this 1BHK apartment into a 2BHK with a terrace overlooking the iconic Worli Sea Face is a striking blend of classic and contemporary design. The original space, provided by the builder post-redevelopment, featured a poorly organized layout and an inaccessible terrace. The challenge was to reorganize the apartment to create a functional, aesthetically pleasing 2BHK while maintaining the client’s unique vision and making full use of the stunning views.

The client, a renowned graphic designer with a sharp eye for color, texture, and material, played an active and critical role in the design process. With a deep understanding of design principles, she brought a strong personal perspective to the project, guiding the selection of materials and finishes to suit her style while ensuring practicality and comfort.

The layout was completely overhauled, with careful attention paid to circulation and space optimization. Key to the design was making the previously inaccessible terrace an integral part of the living space. The terrace was reimagined as an extension of the home, offering both a private retreat and an entertaining area with unparalleled views of the Sea Face while also becoming a light box n the evenings. The living room was oriented to maximize these views, creating a seamless flow between the interior and exterior spaces.

In terms of materials, the design blends classic elements—such as rich wood finishes and marble—with contemporary touches, such as sleek metal fixtures and classic art deco lighting solutions. A careful balance of warm and cool tones is evident throughout, with a focus on muted color choices and textural contrasts. Textiles, wall treatments, and finishes were selected to create layers of interest while maintaining a sense of cohesion.

The overall aesthetic is a dynamic interplay of graphic design sensibilities with architectural form, resulting in a home that is both functional and visually stimulating. Each room was curated to reflect the client's personal style, with special attention given to custom details that elevate the overall experience of the space. This is a home that tells the story of its owner’s creativity and refined taste, where every corner speaks to a thoughtful approach to design, comfort, and beauty.

The final result is an apartment that is not only a place to live but also a testament to the collaboration between the client’s vision and the design process, blending the best of both worlds—classic and contemporary—while celebrating the breathtaking view of Worli Sea Face.
