 In the heart of Borivali East, Mumbai, a rare sense of calm unfolds within Oberoi Sky City — a 2,200 sq. ft. residence designed by co_LAB Design Studio that transforms two adjacent apartments into one fluid, emotionally resonant home. Led by principal architects Ar. Gaurang Tajne and Ar. Rutuja Desai, the project is a study in how space can con nect, breathe, and evolve without losing its individuality.

 Here, urban vibrance meets quiet retreat. Expansive floor to-ceiling windows frame the lush stretch of Sanjay Gandhi Na tional Park, allowing nature to become an everyday companion. Rather than demolishing the existing framework, the architects VOL 8 ISSUE 1 worked within it — crafting transitions that feel organic and ef fortless. Subtle architectural gestures, drywalls, and concealed passageways ensure functionality without visual interruption.

The foyer sets the tone: wooden panelling, textured wall paper, and Italian marble flooring merge into a symphony of understated luxury. A floating onyx console and an asymmetri cal walnut mirror complete the refined welcome.

 The living and dining areas flow together in soft, muted hues, anchored by bespoke furniture and tactile materials. A gently swinging jhula introduces a nostalgic touch, while smart lighting and temperature controls quietly weave technology into comfort. The dining area, with its marble-topped teak table and misty green chairs, becomes a natural extension of the living space — a place of warmth and gathering.

 The home’s spiritual heart, a serene activity and man dir room, celebrates stillness through rich crimson tones, herringbone floors, and tropical motifs — a place where the rhythm of life slows down.

 Every detail at Oberoi Sky City speaks of balance: be tween past and present, intimacy and openness, subtlety and splendour. With co_LAB Design Studio’s thoughtful touch, this home becomes more than architecture — it’s an evolv ing story of coexistence, connection, and timeless grace.
