Binaf Boutique
Mumbai · 1,000 sq ft
Design Intent
A 1000 sqft boutique built around clean display, warm wood and considered light - retail that feels personal rather than commercial.
The brief asked for stillness - a home that felt held together by light, material and proportion rather than ornament. The plan was redrawn around sightlines, sun paths and the daily routines of the family.
Material Palette
Walnut
Hand-finished American walnut, oil sealed.
Travertine
Roman travertine in honed and unfilled.
Brass
Antiqued brass for inlays and hardware.
Linen & Bouclé
Natural linen and undyed bouclé textiles.
Spatial Experience
The home unfolds as a sequence of quiet moments: the arrival, the soft-lit hallway, the long living wall in walnut, the dining table that catches the late afternoon sun.
Lighting is layered - never single-source - to keep the space soft after dusk. Custom joinery hides storage so surfaces stay calm.
