Some homes deserve a walkthrough. This one deserved a screenplay. We bring you a Wes Anderson-inspired story of a luxurious penthouse designed by TEAM ACDS.

The Hidden Order of Things
At one of downtown Mumbai's most coveted addresses stands a home inspired by the city itself. Layered, exuberant and anything but restrained. Brought to life through the vision of TEAM ACDS, the works of renowned artisans and Scarlet Splendour's handcrafted furniture. It became a world where art, colour and character live in perfect harmony.
Everyone's
Talking
The conversation rarely stays in one place.
Between Scarlet Splendour's Strings Armchair, the 88 Secrets Sideboard and Jonathan Trayte's sculpture, every corner has something to say.
Jonathan Trayte blurs the boundaries between nature, design and sculpture through bold, oversized forms.
Every Story Deserves
A Memorable Beginning.
This begins at the front door. A suspended gold ceiling, Hermès wall coverings and a custom deep blue entrance door with solid brass detailing set the tone.
Originally imagined for silk, Hermès' Equateur now unfolds across an entire wall.
Art by Jitish Kallat reminds us that cities are built as much from memories as they are from streets.
Anish Kapoor's work explores colour, perception and the illusion of infinite depth.
Dinner is rarely just dinner.
Created as a home that entertains generously, the dining room brings together art, colour and conversation. Scarlet Splendour's Nesso Table by Matteo Cibic and Orion Chairs by Nika Zupanc become part of the occasion.
And at the heart of the room hangs Utkarsh Makwana's Just a Regular Day. Watching over the table, not as an isolated masterpiece, but as a companion to everyday life.
Handwoven in Afghanistan, the Persian carpet brings centuries of tradition to the table.
Utkarsh Makwana's Just a Regular Day celebrates the unnoticed beauty of everyday moments.
In this home, every hour tells a different story.
The Arabian Sea may have supplied the view. But the architecture choreographed the light. Handwoven linen sheers and finely perforated Japanese timber screens soften Mumbai's sun, allowing shadows to move across the interiors throughout the day. Here, light becomes a material in itself. Scarlet Splendour's Orion Lounge Chair by Nika Zupanc becomes part of this daily choreography. Changing with every passing hour.
Sakti Burman's paintings weave mythology and nature into dreamlike worlds.
Time
Travel
Some things improve by refusing to belong to one era.
Centuries-old Persian carpets sit comfortably beside handcrafted Baccarat chandeliers and contemporary works of art. Scarlet Splendour's Serenity Sofa by Nika Zupanc joins them effortlessly, proving that good design never needs a timestamp. Each carries its own history. Yet together they feel entirely at home.
The centuries-old Persian carpet isn't an accent. It's the room's oldest conversation.
Two works by Dhruva Mistry reveal his fascination with simplifying nature into art forms.
Every room has its own rhythm.
The architect imagined the home as a composition. Colour, craft, art and memory come
together like individual notes.
Composed by Nika Zupanc,
Scarlet Splendour's Serenity Sofa
becomes one of those notes. Together, they create something larger than themselves.
Ravinder Reddy's gilded Head. Part temple icon, part contemporary portrait.
The busiest rooms are often the quietest.
This home celebrates the coexistence of art and everyday life, history and modernity, stillness and celebration. Scarlet Splendour's Strings Sofa by Nika Zupanc anchors the room with colour and character, making moments of doing nothing feel wonderfully well designed.
Every face tells a story. Jitish Kallat lets the city tell it too.
Inspired by the five elements, S.H. Raza explores the spiritual power of colour and form.
The
Last Scene
Long after the drawings are forgotten and trends have moved on, the best homes continue to feel relevant.
Perhaps that's true luxury. Not perfection, but harmony.
A place where beauty feels
effortless, memories accumulate gracefully and life unfolds beautifully. Scarlet Splendour
is proud to have been part of that story.
