When Farah Khan stepped into the couple’s Mumbai residence she barely hid her awe. The first thing that arrests the eye is a dramatic sweep of glass flooring that lets light and movement play across the space below, while a sculptural fountain anchors the foyer like a living piece of art.

The glass walkway feels intentional rather than gimmicky — a design gamble that pays off by creating a sense of air and flow between rooms. Around it, the living areas balance clean, modern lines with softer, tactile accents: low sofas, layered rugs, and curated artworks that add colour without competing with the architecture.

Lighting is used like a finishing touch rather than an afterthought. Recessed fixtures and subtle uplights pick out textures on walls and highlight the fountain’s gentle motion. Large panes of glass and planted pockets bring a quiet indoor garden feel, so the house reads as much as a green retreat as a polished city home.

Private rooms keep to a calmer palette. Bedrooms and bathrooms lean into spa sensibilities — generous proportions, deep soaking tubs, and muted materials that invite the inhabitant to slow down. Attention to detail shows in small moments: millimetre-perfect joinery, custom brass hardware, and fabrics chosen to age well.

For entertaining, the house doesn’t skimp. A discreet home theatre, intimate dining nook and an open-plan kitchen built for guests create a natural flow from casual to formal. Upstairs, a terrace opens to skyline views of the city, a reminder that this oasis sits squarely inside Mumbai’s tempo.

What stands out is the confidence of the choices: bold features like the glass floor and fountain are balanced by warm, lived-in textures. The result is a home that looks designed to be seen and to be lived in — stylish, comfortable and unmistakably personal.
