POSARI

“How does one undertake design decisions that are intended to serve varying ideas of time - the present, and the future; creating spaces that are ultimately intended to become spaces for repose?”

This conversation began in 2022, when there was a recognition that there is a need to create a weekend space that is distinguished from other spaces that serve a similar function. And so, close to Palava, a township that the Studio is planning in North - East Bombay, approximately 2 and half kilometres away, a land parcel was identified; land that offered beautiful, scenic vistas, situated at the foothills of a mountain range. And then, there is a seasonal river that flows through this area.

Spread over close to 360 acres in the first phase of development, this land located near Posari is intended to be a low-density development with different typologies of homes and occupancy options; a space that may ultimately transition into first homes for the upper-middle section of soceity. 

At the present time, development is focused on 20 acres - with some portions of the land being developed, and others being sold as just land, with potential for development at a later date. Once complete, this development will spread across 600 acres.

When put together, the land has been envisioned as a midieval oasis located not very far away from Mumbai; a space that will allow its future occupants to envision a sense of liveability beyond that which is in their immediate view.
