Inside 'Gulita': the Architectural Marvel Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal Call Home
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
Inside the perimeter walls, the ultra-luxury interior design balances modern European aesthetics with traditional Indian iconography. French and Italian design ateliers furnished core reception suites with neutral stone palettes, relying on raw travertine, polished onyx, and fluted brass highlights to offset the strong natural daylight.
The home centers on a custom temple built across an indoor courtyard, continuing an architectural tradition central to both the Piramal and Ambani residences. Bespoke brass statues and hand-carved stone walls anchor the space, which sits adjacent to private prayer gardens designed to remain invisible from street level.
Recreation suites feature an open-air swimming pool positioned on an upper-level terrace, framed by cantilevered glass panels that block prevailing ocean gusts without compromising panoramic views of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. Several family dining rooms connect directly to automated catering facilities capable of servicing high-profile corporate receptions and cultural gatherings.
