Mumbai: Still Far from World-Class Architectural Design ? Mumbai, a city of immense energy and ambition, continues to grow vertically with its ever-expanding skyline. Yet, when it comes to architectural design that truly stands out on the global stage, the city still feels far behind. While there are towering structures and luxury developments, most lack the kind of iconic, innovative design that defines world-class cities. Unfortunately, many projects end up resembling matchboxes—functional but uninspired, with little attention to aesthetics or creativity. Despite being a global financial hub, Mumbai's skyline doesn’t evoke the awe or inspiration seen in places like Dubai or Shanghai. The city's rich cultural history and dynamic spirit could serve as an incredible foundation for unique architectural expressions, yet this potential remains largely untapped. For now, Mumbai remains a city of promise, with glimpses of architectural ambition, but still far from achieving a design identity that rivals the world’s most iconic urban landscapes.

Luxury is often understood as something that is solely driven by extravagance. But it is much more than that - luxury is deeply personal, reflective, and intentional. For me, the journey begins with understanding materials and craftsmanship at their core and blending that with high-standard precision to create designs where every detail matters. I explored this idea and more at FOAID India, New Delhi as part of a panel discussion on ‘The Business of Luxury Design,’ moderated by Supraja Rao, alongside Aparna Kaushik and Raseel Gujral Ansal. Luxury is about listening—decrypting a client's aspirations to craft personalised spaces that stand the test of time. This is what we do every day at Habitat Architects. #FOAID2024 #FOAID #DesignDialogue #HabitatInsights #LuxuryDesign

Why Space Planning is My Superpower One of the most invaluable things I learned while designing in Mumbai was how to make maximum usage of minimal space. If you've high property prices and less space, then just having a skill for space planning isn't enough; you have to become an artist at it. One of the first Mumbai projects I remember distinctly had an abnormally small 500 square feet of area. Every single inch counted, and the end result was one of the things I'm most proud of. That project also taught me that sometimes less really does mean more. Now, when we work in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, that philosophy translates to much larger spaces. Instead of compact living, we're working with sprawling areas where I can apply my space optimization skills on a grander scale. Lately, I designed a 10,000-square-foot villa in Jaipur and paid attention to the smallest details, just as I do in smaller spaces. The lesson? No matter how much space one has, it’s how one uses it that makes all the difference. #SpacePlanning #DesignSkills #InteriorDesign #UrbanLiving #OptimizedSpaces #CreativeDesign #Architecture #SmallSpaceSolutions #GrandDesigns #DesignInnovation #Tier2And3Cities #EmergingMarkets #SmartDesign #SpaceOptimization #LuxuryDesign

#TheLuxuryDisruptors Whether it’s a high-tech hydraulic platform, a custom-designed door that seamlessly blends spaces, or a bespoke piece of art thoughtfully curated with precision, Red Architects redefines luxury through the lens of individuality. Transcending superficial grandeur, it is architecture rooted in meaning, crafted to foster a sense of belonging and purpose for those who live and work in the spaces they create.  As we settle into this conversation, their vision of luxury unfolds. It’s not about opulence or showmanship—it’s about intention. It’s about creating spaces that speak to the people who inhabit them. For Rajiv Parekh, Ekta Parekh, and Maithili Raut, luxury is a deeply personal concept, rooted in the marriage of aesthetics and functionality, and driven by the emotional connections they forge between their clients and the spaces they design.  Powered by Schueco India , "The Luxury Disruptors" in our October issue highlights 10 visionary architects from 6 firms who are transforming luxury design. ⁠  ⁠  Head to the link here for the full video!⁠ https://lnkd.in/g7grqAfY ⁠  Director, Editorial and Brand Solutions: Sonal Das ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠  Editor: Seema Sreedharan ⁠  ⁠Video produced by Jagdish Limbachiya #aplusd #DesignRevolution #ArchitectsOfChange #LuxuryDesign  #SustainableElegance #Architecturallnnovation #FutureOfLuxury  #Octoberlssue ⁠#reDArchitects
