Shah, Pinkish
Nest - Vol.88(3), Mar - Mumbai Indian Institute of Architects 2023 - 54-55p.
Our clients (a couple with two adult
daughters) approached us with a duplex
where the intermediate slab between
floors had been heavily punctured and
damaged by the previous occupants and
was unable to be repaired. In consultation
with a structural engineer, we decided
to remove all slabs and beams (except
one), opening up a beautiful 24 ft. high
double height space of approximately 40
ft. long x 20 ft. wide that was bookended
by terraces on both sides allowing the
free flow of natural light and breezes and
sometimes birds too.
