La Maison Sereine, in French means a home that exudes serenity. It is so named due to the desire of the clients to have a house that emanates peace and tranquillity. The apartment is a 2 bedroom apartment in Raheja Vistas, Chandivalli, Mumbai overlooking lush green plantation of trees and foliage. The residence is in an extremely quiet neighbourhood in the otherwise noisy Mumbai. The brief was to allow this peace and silence of the green around drift inside, into the house.

The main aim hence was to create a comfortable, calm and thoughtful space, while keeping in mind the needs and lifestyle of the people living in it. There is abundant light that filters into the space and we wanted to design the house in a way that maximises the incoming light which in turn uplifts the quality of the space. The overall design concept was to use colours and textures that generate calm with punctuations of bright and brilliant colour. Deep rich greys are used alongside soft pastel blues and greens.

Each room, each space was given a unique identity of its own which was developed through certain furniture pieces that the clients wanted to bring in from their old house or through some stories that the clients wanted to weave into the design narrative. Our effort has been to weave all these distinct identities into a single story.

For Preshita, the brief was met when the clients said they feel at peace when they enter the house after a day in the chaos that Mumbai city is. There is a sense of calm and tranquillity that La Maison Sereine has brought into their lives.
There could be no greater testimony to our design ethos than this.
