The White Abode

Architect Ninad Dhanawade as Architects

The White Abode is a thoughtfully designed two-bedroom apartment, spanning 750 sq.ft. in the heart of the Mumbai. The primary goal was to create a spacious and airy environment while embracing simplicity. An open kitchen concept plays a crucial role in achieving this, enhancing the flow of the space and making it feel larger.

Designed for a elderly couple with occasional guests, the decision to forgo a traditional dining table optimizes space. Instead, a kitchen with a dining counter not only conserves room but also adds valuable storage. This layout facilitates easy movement throughout the apartment, ensuring a comfortable and unobstructed living experience. This open floor plan minimizes maintenance while maximizing utility, allowing for easy cleaning and upkeep. The seamless integration of the kitchen and living area enhances functionality, making it ideal for everyday living. This design not only promotes a spacious feel but also ensures that the space is practical and efficient for the couple’s lifestyle.

The entrance features a strategic partition that enhances privacy while preventing a direct line of sight into the home. This design element not only adds a sense of seclusion but also creates a welcoming atmosphere as guests enter, allowing for a gradual transition into the living space. The partition effectively balances openness with privacy, ensuring a comfortable and inviting entryway.

The strategic application of various textures and accents, allows for a flexible yet elegant environment, fostering tranquillity and organization. By employing a single colour tone throughout, the space achieves a unified look that promotes balance and style.

In the bedrooms, the use of simple, earthy tones and natural elements further enhances the calming atmosphere. This minimalist approach invites a sense of peace, making it a perfect retreat from the city's hustle and bustle. Overall, The White Abode exemplifies how design can elevate urban living, creating a refined sanctuary within a crowded metropolis.
