Almost every furniture in this multi-generation apartment is designed from scratch
In India, architect Abhishek Patel works with local manufacturers to create marble, brass and plywood furniture that is perfect for the needs of their families at a lower cost than high-end retail.
The master bedroom allows for a combination of closet doors and floating shelf cups with polished plywood.
Although the Indian city of Rajkot is located on the west coast of Gujarat, it is far enough inland to have a very hot climate, with the highest level during the day as high as above 90 degrees for eight months, from 100 degrees from April to June. That’s why when moving into the apartment tower there, architect Abhishek Patel and his family (including his wife and parents) chose the top-floor west-facing unit of 14 stories to take advantage of the cooled night breeze.
When designing his own family home, architect Abhishek Patel attempted to create a “lightweight, ventilated and minimalist environment that is both accommodating and easy to maintain.”

Since the tower is located next to Solashtra University, it is the building below the lung and the large cricket stadium,” Abhishek said. “I can enjoy the sunset on the balcony and even the cricket game. ”
Located on the top floor of a 14-story building, the living room extends to the balcony where residents can socialize or have morning tea.
