In the heart of Mumbai, Pastel Paradise, a luxurious residential project by Tushar Mistry Design Studio, stands as an assurance of refined and opulent tastes.
The design process of the home began with no design brief. The client being a good friend of Ar. Tushar Mistry’s, he knew his love for Art Deco, preference for pastels and grandeur. Hence, Tushar decided to bind it all together in a home that would not only meet the family’s needs but also reflect the colourful personality of his client-friend. Explaining the same, Tushar says, “Our client sought a distinctive aesthetic that would reflect his vibrant personality and unique taste.”
Adding insights on the client’s requirements, Tushar says, “The only two requirements that the client wanted to be included were — space for a temple unlike the traditional ones and to place the jhula for the client’s usage. Both of these have been beautifully incorporated in the design scheme.” The three racks in the living room serve a specific purpose. The central rack with the rattan finish on the shutter, is the temple. The other two are home to lovely Swarovski crystals. The jhula has been placed in the master balcony, since the owner uses that space the maximum.
From the colour palette of pastels to motifs, materials and styling — all are reflective of the Art Deco theme. Some of the eye-catching elements are the Persian carpet on the powder pink wall in the dining area, the marble in the bathrooms that was selected to complement the Kohler fittings, Onyx light fittings, the pebble shaped dining table top in Patagonia marble, use of material like burl veneer with lamination and marble throughout the home. It is interesting to note the lack of handles on the cupboards — they are all inbuilt in the shutters.
To create a vastu compliant home out of a bare shell needs a lot of detailing and planning. And in this home space planning became smart planning as each zone had to be designated the right place and area for it to be the perfect home for the family.
The Pastel Paradise, is more than just a place to live—it’s a sanctuary where the client will savour the joys of life and create cherished memories with their loved ones for years to come.
