In this Mumbai Home, Italian Luxury Breathes New Life.

Posted on by The Quarry

Luxury is more than a vision, it’s an art. And in a world where homes increasingly serve as private sanctuaries, Elle x The Quarry unveils a new paradigm in the way luxury homes can be crafted wonderfully with natural stones. When they joined forces to launch Two-Of-A-Kind, they set out to explore not just the parameters of luxury, but the intimate, soulful qualities that make a house a home. A window to a world where the materials within the home tell a story and design transcends expectations.

In Bandra, this ethos comes to life in Sonia Sankhe’s home, designed by Aalok Saigal. For Sonia, her home was to be more than an architectural feat, it was to be a welcoming space filled with warmth, where friends become family and family feels like cherished guests. Through curated materials and a refined neoclassical aesthetic, this residence reflects the unique personality of its owners, while capturing the elegance of design.

A friendship that stands as a hallmark of true luxury.

Aalok Saigal, a veteran with 26 years of expertise who spearheads Aalok Saigal and Associates and has worked on several other projects, was the man with the picture-perfect plan for Sonia’s home. For this wasn’t just another client, Sonia and her family were friends, and their home deserved a deeply personal touch. The bonds of this friendship revealed themselves in the creation of a sanctuary that felt as though it was his own, balancing an aesthetic with heartfelt intention.

A luxurious home where Italy meets Mumbai.

As you walk in, you can experience the magic that unfolds within the four walls. An expansive apartment, filled with customised details and a muted palette. The modern neoclassical style casts its charm through the furnishings, accents and everything that’s been thoughtfully curated by both Sonia and Aalok. But the true hero of this home is the exquisite Carrara marble which makes a statement right from the first step in.

The echo of luxury from the mountains to a masterpiece.

Transporting you away, effortlessly, in this luxury home is The Quarry curated Carrara marble. Carved from the heart of Tuscany, this Italian marble clads the flooring at the Sankhe residence. Never letting you look away from its beautiful texture.

Aalok’s favourite design feature, this white marble flooring, sets the tone for the entire apartment, bringing an unmatched sophistication to every corner. The play of white with black and grey veining amps up the drama and pays a nod to Italian craftsmanship.

Paired with opulent accents and different textures across the home, the Carrara marble flooring also adorns a bespoke staircase. The light that dances across its surface makes this Carrara staircase a standout feature within the home. Its sleek, polished steps elevate the experience of movement.

Not only does this 100% natural, 100% Italian marble exude luxury but it creates a harmonious balance between the subtle and the bold.

The luxury of personal expression.

While the marble flooring echoes the essence of luxury, Sonia Sankhe’s favourite space in the home is one where warmth and conviviality thrive. The bar and cigar lounge, characterised by rich, welcoming tones, is a place of relaxation where family and friends gather. Here, amid the carefully curated decor, one finds a sense of belonging. A testament to Aalok Saigal’s approach to designing spaces that mirror the personalities of his clients, making this home truly Two-Of-A-Kind.
