In these three handpicked units of sizes 1000, 2000, and 3000 sq. ft. one can see luxe décor treatments laid on to well-resolved layouts that optimize the available space. These stylish apartments come from the portfolios of well-known Mumbai-based designers Ketan Sheth (Founder & MD, Goldmine Project Consultant & Services LLP), Prashant & Anu Chauhan (Principal Architects & Co-founders, Zero9 Design) and Sumessh Menon (Founder, Sumessh Menon Associates)

The organically curated space exudes happiness, warmth and positivity.
