Parel Residence
This residence is truly balanced in terms of the fusion of aesthetic styles. The design focus though modern reveals all the elements of a Gujarati haveli. The paneling and cabinetry have motifs from western India, hand in hand with minimalistic modular kitchens and free standing furniture. There is a jhoola (swing) that commands the living area, which is balanced by a static free standing two sided art panel. The play of traditional versus modern makes this interior quite unusual in its appeal
