Majmundar Residence | Design Vault | Mumbai
The Majmundar Residence, designed by Design Vault and led by Architect Supreet Nanda and Interior Designer Shilpy Gupta, is located in Fortune Heights, Mumbai. The apartment is owned by two Energetic, Super Positive and ever-so-young-at-heart Sisters in their 70s. The client brief was to keep the space ‘young and chic’, which defines their outlook towards life. They are fond of woods and lighter tones but, at the same time, aren’t scared to experiment with colours!
Architect Supreet Nanda and Interior Designer Shilpy Gupta share that the Majmundar Residence reflects its owners’ vibrant spirit through a young, chic, and cohesive design, balancing natural textures, soft neutrals, and bold accents for a warm yet dynamic ambiance. Taking in from this direction, there was a clear intention to create a space that feels organic, cohesive, and nurturing!
Main entrance is warm and inviting, rendered in a light satiny PU. This laser- cut main door is flanked with a storage in natural materials and a lime wash wall backdrop, setting a tone to this serene and inviting space.
Overlayed in shades of ecru, cream, and beige, this squarish Living cum Dining room is cozy and minimal. A curved sofa with a round wooden centre table sets the tone for the rest of the space.
A textured TV wall & narrow panels behind the dining break the starkness of the walls, and a carpet from Loops by LJ defines the floor.
The design dwells around a neutral base, with black, ash wood and a delicate balance of color accents. These together keep the space looking light yet vibrant! The black details are strategically placed to complement the softer beige and green tones, giving the space a cozy yet dynamic feel.
‘Space Optimisation’ was the ‘key’ to plan this dining area – which while complementing the hall in terms of its colour and shape-still sits quietly tucked into the side wall. Terracotta art from ‘Terrarts’ adds a much-needed earth tone to this wall.
An ashwood and PU finished ‘Mandir Unit’ flanks the TV wall. Through its flowy form, half-height doors with a visible ‘tradition pendant’ add the necessary ‘drama’ to this space.
The kitchen remains elegantly functional – underlined by clean lines and an uncluttered spirit. The kitchen seamlessly integrates functionality with aesthetics, maintaining a clutter-free and efficient layout. Thoughtfully chosen finishes enhance durability while complementing the home’s warm, neutral palette.
