the job in a nutshell
To design a home for a young family nestled above a Banyan tree.
Through the home, earthy clay paint and cement flooring are complemented by classy brass touches. Made in Earth collaborated with Slip on all the material finishes. Being in this earthy, luxurious apartment invokes a deep sense of peace. Its spacious layout and panoramic views make it a great place for intimate meals or large soirées. A quintessentially playful and glamorous aesthetic is unmistakable in the Banyan Home.
The 1,900 sq ft three-
bedroom apartment has curved balconies, airy rooms, and pockets of natural light.

The building, designed by architect Biju Kuriakose, arcs around a huge banyan tree on the premises. Arches and curves through the apartment mimic and make room for the twists and turns of the foliage. The dining and living rooms feature bespoke wooden furniture and statement hanging lamps.
Natural light fills the flat all day, and each balcony gets a sunrise or a sunset – it’s an urban dweller’s dream. The dining room spills out onto the other balcony. On this balcony is a curved bar made from IPS with a reclaimed teakwood top. Plants and fresh air give it an indoor/outdoor sensibility – the ideal place to enjoy sundowners.
The home’s mellow quality is set by the mix of colours through it. The master bedroom has chic greys and blacks, with a black veneer and matt glass wardrobe. This monochromatic theme is offset by a pale wooden floor and a custom-made maroon leather-upholstered headboard. On the master balcony is an expansive lounge bed, perfect for the family to hang out with a cup of tea.
The guest bedroom has a sandy beige lime plaster, a custom-made arch bed with hydraulic storage, and a cane and glass wardrobe. IPS bathrooms with custom-made wood vanities are attached to all the rooms.
The kid’s room is a pastel play palace. It includes a comfy reading nook with cartoon wallpaper, a bunk bed, a wardrobe with white fluting, cubbies, and pink loft storage.
