Design inspiration for the bath space
Responding to a densely urbanised context, the design inspiration was to obtain tranquillity amidst the chaos. Given the project location on a higher floor of a luxury skyscraper – deriving the right energy through a spa-like experience was intended. The material palette spreads from marble finish tiles to gold-coated fittings resulting in a sublime yet bespoke elevational presence.
This 38 sq. ft. confined bathroom is segregated from the bedroom with a boxed glass partition with greens planted inside, creating an expansive spatial character. This feature allows a close connection with nature yet offers appropriate privacy for the occupants while maximising design potential.

This is one among the guest bath spaces located at a luxurious residential development at Alibaug, that is an architectural ode to the Asian tropical architecture of Bali, Indonesia inspired by the tropical Balinese lifestyle, intertwined with traditional elements creating a unique ambience within the space.
