Designing Rooftops and Outdoor Sanctuaries in Mumbai
I transform empty terraces into private escapes. Whether you need a city-view lounge or a peaceful green deck, I design outdoor spaces that let you breathe.
The rooftop of the Skylight boutique apartment building is designed as a premier amenity. It features a stylish bar, comfortable lounge seating, a green wall, and integrated lighting, creating a sophisticated space for residents to entertain and enjoy panoramic city views.
This private terrace opens up to the stunning Mumbai skyline and the sea beyond. The design features a large sectional sofa, a central fire pit, and ambient lighting, creating an intimate and luxurious outdoor lounge for enjoying the view.
This private terrace features a stunning infinity pool that appears to merge with the sea on the horizon. The design emphasizes clean lines and an unobstructed view, creating a serene and exclusive escape high above the city.
A dream visualized. This spacious terrace is designed as an open-air living room, featuring a vertical garden, elegant outdoor furniture, and a prominent sculpture. It is a space crafted for relaxation, art, and a seamless connection with nature.
This indoor-outdoor lounge space is designed to feel cozy and relaxed. A natural material palette of concrete and wood, combined with rich textures and lush greenery just beyond the glass, ties the whole narrative of comfortable, modern living together.
This recreational area is designed with various engaging elements that encourage users to pause and participate. The poolside deck with comfortable loungers and a small waterfall feature creates a resort-like atmosphere for relaxation and socializing.

About Rooftops & Outdoor Living
The biggest challenge in Mumbai is balancing open views with privacy. I often use vertical gardens and strategic layering of planters, not just for aesthetics, but to create a natural buffer that blocks city noise and direct overlooks while keeping the skyline view intact.
Outdoor space in a city like Mumbai is a luxury, and my approach starts by treating it as a vital extension of your living area. We have to manage the unique microclimate, specifically the heavy monsoon rains and intense heat, so proper drainage and high-quality waterproofing are my first priorities. These are invisible but non-negotiable foundations for any lasting rooftop project.
Once the structure is sound, I focus on the experience of the space. I use durable materials like stone and weather-treated wood that can withstand the coastal air. I design for different times of the day, ensuring there is dappled shade for the afternoon and thoughtful ambient lighting for the evening. Whether it is an infinity pool on a private terrace or a quiet balcony garden, my goal is to create a place where you can disconnect from the city hustle without actually leaving your home. This is about creating a sanctuary that feels intentional and personal.
