Nestled in the quiet winding roads of a lush green Chembur, ‘The Jungalow’ is a story of a space that feels like a permanent vacation in the heart of the city. Acquired by a family of four, the bungalow is multi storeyed, each one meticulously designed to cater to the requirements of the members.
One enters the bungalow through the ground floor which acts as a garage and a utility space. On the first floor is a living cum dining space which overlooks a private deck with lush greens, a rare sight in Bombay. Transformed by adding full height French windows, the sun is a steady companion throughout the entire space. The design of the space is an embodiment of the design firm’s love for clean lines and crisp colors. The built is sleek, modern and fuss free, much like the Danish furniture which fills up all the spaces. Stunning statuario marble slabs flow throughout the home that also features a large modular kitchen, a lounge cum guest bedroom, along with 3 other bedrooms and bathrooms occupied by the permanent residents.
The home is also the center of the client’s social circle – it is the perfect setting for all occasions, for as one walks through the space, it is almost as if the walls recede into oblivion to make way for what lies within – eclectic tchotchkes, glimmers of verdure and seas of indigo.
From the living and dining rooms, to the kitchen and the bedrooms, the sun is a steady companion wherever you go.
We decided to transform it into a lush green, open-to-sky patio. We carved out an access point directly from the dining area for better circulation and connectivity. We also made civil changes in the structure and converted all windows to French windows to create smaller pockets within the larger setting.

We hadn’t renovated our home ever since we moved into it several years ago. When we met Deshna, we instantly knew we could trust her with our home. And we are so glad we did!
Deshna’s commitment to ensuring that our ideals matched her vision ensured that the entire process was collaborative and fulfilling. Her efficiency, conceptual soundness, all hands-on-deck approach and innate aesthetic sense has resulted in a home that is loved not only by us, but all of our family and friends.
