‘In the art of home design, it takes two to create a masterpiece.’
At The Quarry, we journey to bring you the most exquisite curation of natural stones from around the world. So that you can create truly irreplaceable designs with The Quarry Collection.
But the brilliance of this journey becomes multifold when it is met with the vision of a homeowner and the craftsmanship of a designer.
And the Elle x The Quarry - Two-Of-A-Kind series celebrates this perfect match, culminating in a home that is both luxurious and deeply personal. A match that brings alive the synergy in creating spaces with The Quarry curated natural stones that reflect the personality and aspirations of their owners.
One of the spaces at the heart of this collaboration is a stunning duplex apartment in Mumbai, designed for Mr Sachin Khivsara and his family. Co-founders and principal architects at Space Dynamix, Ashutosh Wad and Manjunath Hathwar have designed this home by blending their uncomplicated style with unique materials tastefully.
Let’s explore this statement home that doesn’t compete with the views of the city but compliments them.
The Majestic Expanse
A duplex, nestled on the 43rd and 44th floors, this luxury home offers stunning, uninterrupted views of the maximum city. The visual vocabulary of this space embodies simplicity and unpretentious grandeur through its minimalistic approach.
The seamless flow of the open layout is immediately apparent, with each corner of the home - be it seating, furnishing, or décor, raising a toast to spaciousness and the overall aesthetic. The play of the palette with earthy, monochrome tones in focus, envelopes you with a sense of peace the minute you walk in. It syncs the outdoors and indoors effortlessly.
And when it comes to picking the favourite space, the designer duo - Ashutosh Wad and Manjunath Hathwar spare no time before they dive into the details of the master bedroom, appreciated for its sense of calm and sophistication with unrestrained views of the bay. Shashwat Khivsara shares his love for the multi-coloured panelling at one end of the apartment that breaks the monotony of monochrome within the home.
But one of the most fascinating elements of this project is The Quarry curated Avocado Vert which has been masterfully woven into the design, transforming the space into a pinnacle of beauty. This luxurious natural stone amplifies the visual allure and infuses a home with unparalleled depth and character.
The Design Highlight: Avocado Vert.
When asked about their favourite design element at the Khivsara residence, Manjunath Hathwar shares in awe, “We have used The Quarry Avocado Vert to highlight the entrance wall that leads to the staircase.”
From the moment you lay eyes on it, the lush and enchanting Avocado Vert becomes the star of the space, drawing you in with its mesmerising beauty.
Created within the exotic quarries of Brazil, this granite is a marvel of nature. Its deep hues and warm green tones, interspersed with white and black accents, create a spectacle worth your view.
Its unmatched magnificence acquaints you with shades of green like never before, making this luxurious granite far more than just a decorative element within the home.
At the Khivsara residence, the Avocado Vert adorning the highlight wall is 100% cut and polished in Italy. Placed to lead the way to the staircase that begins as a cuboid mass, transforming into a light, cantilevered flight as it turns the corner. This synergy of elements not only showcases the architects' creativity and expertise but also brings nature indoors, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere in a city that's synonymous with being an urban jungle.
Avocado Vert sets a stage for prominence at this home by greeting you with their grace and luxury echoing ‘bold and beautiful’, all at once.
When you ask Shashwat Khivsara his take on this Two-of-a-kind collaboration he sums it up with glee, “There was a lot of surprise with each design element but always a positive one.”
And that’s what makes this home truly Two-Of-A-Kind.
