Indian design studio Blurring Boundaries creates the Asmalay home, which is defined by its organic structure and use of natural materials. The home has a curved look and wraps around trees in the forest that it is set on by Mumbai. The Asmalay home is found within a range of mango trees in Alibag, an Indian coastal town to showcase the natural connection between architecture and nature.
The co-founder of the studio Shriya Parasrampuria explains to Dezeen the concept behind the design approach, stating "We were captivated by the idea for the residence as a piece of sculpture rather than a mere building. By prioritizing a seamless flow and letting the roof's form define the structure's massing, we wanted to create a truly unique and artistic living space."
