Outdoor Living Design for Serene Urban Escapes
In a busy city like Mumbai, a private outdoor space is your ultimate luxury. I transform balconies, decks, and terraces into quiet sanctuaries that offer a true escape from the urban rush.
The twenty-one-foot-long sea-facing deck at Kanso House is a perfect urban escape. We included a bar, a water feature, and an innovative swing to create a versatile space for both quiet moments and lively soirees.
At Eden House, this charming seating nook on the deck is framed by a bougainvillea-lined arch. It’s a picturesque spot that serves as a focal point and a quiet place to enjoy the outdoors.

About Outdoor Living & Urban Escapes
Designing an outdoor space in Mumbai is not just about aesthetics; it is about resilience against the humidity and salt. We use materials like Kota stone and Kadapa, which age gracefully under the sun, paired with hardy greenery that thrives in our coastal climate. This ensures your terrace remains a usable sanctuary year-round, rather than a maintenance headache you avoid during the monsoon.
My approach to outdoor design starts with understanding how you want to use the space. Is it for morning coffee in peace, or for hosting lively soirees under the stars?
At Kanso House, we turned a twenty-one-foot-long sea-facing deck into a versatile retreat. We added a water feature and a swing that faces both ways, allowing the family to enjoy the panoramic views or turn inward for quiet time. The Kota floor and Kadapa waterfall are chosen because they harmonize with nature, requiring minimal upkeep while looking better with age.
For projects like Eden House, the goal was whimsy. We framed the outdoor seating with a bougainvillea-lined arch, turning the terrace into a focal point that visually connects with the interior rooms. These are not showroom spaces; they are designed to be lived in, where the walls, plants, and furniture create a seamless flow between the indoors and the city skyline.
Every piece of furniture we place outside, from bar counters to seating, is crafted by local karigars. We focus on natural textures that hold up to the elements. Whether it is a penthouse deck or a cozy apartment balcony, I look for ways to bring a sense of stillness to your day. If you have an outdoor area that feels underutilized, let us talk about how to reclaim it as your personal refuge.
