Speed defines contemporary living, leaving little room for genuine pause and reflection anymore. Sukoon challenges this relentless momentum, inviting stillness into a Mumbai residence designed by Sukoon Studio Rohini Bagla. This 2BHK becomes far more than a shelter, transforming into a deeply personal sanctuary where every surface carries intentional meaning and narrative.
For dog-loving design enthusiasts seeking an authentic retreat, Rohini Bagla crafted something profoundly different from typical residential projects undertaken today.
The client brought a remarkable vision rooted in decades of leading Italian wood finishes homes internationally. Rather than merely showcasing exotic materials, Sukoon Studio Rohini Bagla explored how materials trigger emotion and preserve memory within domestic spaces. This philosophy shaped every decision, from the entry threshold to the master bedroom, creating a cohesive emotional journey throughout the residence.
Handcrafted Contradictions Define Character
Walking through a blue door with a wooden safety window immediately signals a departure from conventional expectations. A corridor wrapped in smoked oak, grounded with custom tile inlays design, carefully prepares visitors for the unexpected spatial experiences ahead. Light dances across surfaces while sculptural overhead fixtures cast intentional shadows everywhere.
Every single tile underfoot was created specifically for this space rather than selected from widely available commercial collections.
The living and dining zones overflow with bold contrasts and deliberate handcrafted gestures throughout. Black, wood, mint green, and red converge to create a striking, unusual palette that few designers risk attempting successfully. High-gloss dining tables meet metallic-gold sideboards with family heirloom chests reimagined in black polish and gemstone knobs.
A 52-year-old sofa was revived, not discarded, honouring its history while seamlessly serving contemporary living requirements. Objects speak across rooms while colours converse, creating visual narratives extending beyond decoration into emotional territory.
The meditation nook, featuring a meditative mandir partition, feels sculptural, dividing space without disrupting flow. Crafted from wooden discs, spheres, and blocks, this partition offers rhythm instead of rigid geometry. Lime-washed walls lend rustic softness, while antique toggle switches and hand-detailed curtains lend understated confidence to the settings. Behind the mint sofas, black-and-white paintings with bold red strokes continue deliberate visual conversations throughout the home.
Material Harmony Across Intimate Spaces
The common bathroom, featuring custom tile inlays design, continues the language of detail and contrast discovered throughout. Beautifully textured walls meet black-and-white customised tiles, extending the design vocabulary consistently. The balcony shifts the mood entirely, where custom tile inlays design meet raw concrete panels, revealing glossy red bars ready for celebration.
The master suite wraps residents in smoked oak veneer, providing warmth and sophistication throughout the room. Wardrobe design hides dressers behind cane and curved lines, creating layered visual interest. The bed wall becomes a focal point, with grid-cutout panels that create subtle depth and rhythm repeatedly. The adjoining bathroom remains fresh and serene in layered blues, greys, and black,s creating peaceful retreats.
Kitchen design embraces contrast, meeting teal with concrete, while cane and PU come together unexpectedly. Sukoon Studio Rohini Bagla refuses easy categorisation, balancing grounded expressions against timeless modern sensibilities throughout. Every inch receives hand attention, shaped by memory, guided by genuine emotion. Sukoon remains an architectural pause, offering deep exhales within life’s chaos.
