Developing zen landscapes in Mumbai
Nestled in a quiet lane of Chembur, Mumbai, Kiyoma Crest stands as a testament to the harmonious fusion of Japandi minimalism and Wabi-Sabi philosophy. This 1,600 sq ft home, designed by Open Atelier Mumbai, serves as a living space that encourages growth and being[1][2].
The design of Kiyoma Crest, spearheaded by Principal Designers Rahul Mistri and Anju Mukhi, is a breathtaking amalgamation of simplicity and beauty. The minimalist style of Japandi, with its emphasis on clean lines, functional elegance, and natural elements, is seamlessly blended with the soulful imperfection of Wabi-Sabi[1][2].
Every corner of Kiyoma Crest reflects a mindful balance of luxury and warmth. The interiors are adorned with natural materials, muted colours, and subtle textures that embody the authenticity of Wabi-Sabi and the serene minimalism of Japandi[1][2]. This design philosophy transcends mere aesthetics, elevating minimalism into a holistic approach to living.
Kiyoma Crest was designed according to a simple brief provided by the family, shaping a home that expresses a feeling rather than a basic blueprint[1][2]. The design is confident in its visuals, creating a harmonious environment that feels both refined and deeply human.
The home was designed for a young family of three, and it does not succumb to clutter or chaos. Instead, it exudes a sense of silence, a principle that permeates every room[1][2]. This silence is not one of emptiness, but rather a tranquil space that invites growth and being.
Rahul and Anju, the principal designers, were supported by Mayur Sharma and Nakul Saroj on the project. Together, they transformed a quiet lane in Chembur into a living space that embodies the essence of growth, simplicity, and soulful imperfection.
