Find out how interior architect Tanya Singh turned Tarini Jindal Handa’s sea-facing Mumbai apartment into a playground for the light of the setting sun
As the sun kisses the horizon, the last rays of the day glide into Tarini Jindal Handa’s sea-facing south Mumbai apartment, tinting the space in an ethereal light. A sweeping veranda, which runs across the length of the house, lets the sunshine pour into the 5,000-square-foot space, and opens it up to a panoramic view of the sea and the sky. When interior architect Tanya Singh first stepped into the apartment a year ago, she immediately knew that the light of the golden hour—which bounces through the area, moving from the dining space, to the living room and the library—would become crucial to the design process. “The first time I visited the apartment, I ended up spending an hour or two walking around the place. Just when the sun set, this incredible rosy light invaded the space, casting everything it touched in a pink haloed glow,” says Singh. “And yet, this beautiful light had nowhere to go; it was contained by the walls of the two rooms on either side of the living space, shrouding the rest of the apartment, which was a shame. I knew, then, that the first step of my design process would be to open the space up, so it could engage with the intense aura of the sunset.”
