Houzz at a Glance Who lives here: Jaya Ramchandani, her mother and brother Location: Mumbai Year built: 2014 Size: 84 square metres (900 square feet); 2 bedrooms; 2 bathrooms Interior designer: Ravi Vazirani, founder, Ravi Vazirani Design Studio
A non-cluttered look and a restrained colour palette help create an illusion of more space in this small apartment. “This house, on the 29th floor of an old highrise in Colaba, belongs to a friend, Jaya Ramchandani, who lives here with her mother and her brother. It wasn’t renovated since the ’80s, almost as if stuck in time. The first time I visited the house, it reminded me of my childhood days, the summers of the ’80s, filled with Rasna and Parle G … it had such a vintage, throwback vibe. The budget was tight while the brief was open and flexible. I decided to maintain the old-style charm and give it a slightly current appeal,” Ravi Vazirani of Ravi Vazirani Design Studio says.
