The Half Arc House by SHROFFLEóN

The Half Arc House, located in one of the most opulent skyscrapers in the heart of South Bombay, is rewarded with a stunning uninterrupted view of the Arabian sea on one end and the city on the other. The tower, complete with a lavish swimming pool and gym, captures the essence of luxury living. The Half Arc House is mindfully designed to magnify the luxury living experience.

The Half Arc House gets its moniker from the many quarters – circles that exist in it. The first—a textured and painted arc—is seen right where the entrance meets the main L-shaped living area, and frames that room. In the guest bedroom, the arc presents itself within the teak wood and all-black, back-painted glass cupboards. And the bow appears yet again in the master suite within the pink shelving unit behind the bed.

However, it isn’t just this idiosyncratic symbol that makes the apartment lavish. Among those reasons is that, at 1,400 sq ft, this city home is intended for the use of just one occupant—which is a luxury in itself. Add to that, as per the client’s wish, the original three bedrooms have been broken down and converted into just two suites with rather generous layouts.

The client’s brief was realized by creating an expansive master suite, complete with a master bath, a spacious walk-in wardrobe, and a dedicated shoe room. Being the primary residence of a young and single businesswoman, the apartment has been curated to give a homely, feminine appeal with a quirky look and feel. This was achieved by using certain geometries—the half arc, in particular—as well as a rich yet restrained material palette, that works in contrasting pairs, in both color and texture.
