Mumbai · Juhu

Architects and interior designers in Juhu.

Beachfront bungalows and garden homes on one of the city's few low-rise, green stretches. We work across Juhu Beach, JVPD Scheme, Gulmohar Road and Juhu Tara Road.

Designing for Juhu

Juhu is one of the few parts of Mumbai where independent bungalows with gardens are still common. The JVPD Scheme and the lanes behind the beach have homes set on proper plots, with trees, compound walls and room to breathe.

That makes Juhu a place where architecture, interiors and landscape can be designed together. We think about how a garden, a verandah and the rooms inside connect, how sea breezes cross the house, and how deep roofs and overhangs protect walls and windows from monsoon rain.

Sites close to the beach fall under Coastal Regulation Zone rules, and the area is close to the airport, which can limit building heights. We look at both before design begins so that the plan is realistic from the first sketch.

Projects

What we design in Juhu.

Architecture, interiors and landscape, from a single room to a whole building. See the practice

01

Bungalows

New homes and major renovations designed from the plot outward, with garden and house as one.

02

Garden and terrace design

Landscape, shade and outdoor rooms that work in heavy rain and strong sun.

03

Apartment interiors

Homes in Juhu's apartment buildings, designed for light, breeze and sea views.

Process

Clear steps, no surprises.

Each stage ends with clear decisions, drawings and costs agreed with you before we move on.

01

Listen

We begin with conversations, not drawings. How you live or work, what you love about the places you know, what the budget and timeline really are.

02

Read the site

Sun paths, prevailing winds, views, neighbours, soil and regulations. The site sets the first rules of the design.

03

Concept

Sketches, models and early studies that test a few clear ideas. We choose one direction together before going further.

04

Design development

Plans, sections, materials and details refined with structural and services consultants, with cost checked at every stage.

05

Drawings & approvals

Complete construction drawings, specifications and the documentation needed for statutory approvals.

06

On site

Regular site visits, mock-ups and close work with contractors and craftspeople until the last detail is in place.

Questions about Juhu

Do coastal rules affect a renovation in Juhu?
They can, especially for work that changes the footprint or height. Interior-only work is usually simpler. We check the applicable zone for your plot early on.
Can you design the garden as well as the house?
Yes. We prefer it, because the best homes treat the garden as part of the plan rather than what is left over.
How are fees structured?
Fees depend on the scope, scale and complexity of the work. They are usually either a percentage of construction cost or a fixed fee per stage. We agree this in writing before design work begins.
What should I bring to the first meeting?
Anything you have: a site plan or address, photographs, a rough brief, images you like and an idea of budget and timeline. None of it needs to be complete.
