Canopy Crest by The Blue Wall Studio — A Home That Breathes, Moves, and Feels

Design isn’t always about making a statement. Sometimes, it’s about creating a space that holds you gently, quietly, without trying too hard. That’s exactly what Vidhi Duggad Bhagat of The Blue Wall Studio set out to do with Canopy Crest — a 1,850 sq. ft. apartment perched on the 34th floor of Raheja Imperia, Mumbai.

The home isn’t loud. It doesn’t scream “designed.” But every corner, every material, every curve has been thought through. “We never wanted this to be just a beautiful apartment. The idea was to design a sanctuary where materials breathe, forms flow, and emotions linger in the textures,” Vidhi says.

At its core, Canopy Crest is an ode to nature — but not in the predictable, leafy way. It’s a more abstract interpretation. The curves of a leaf, the movement of water, the texture of a bark — these were the impressions that shaped the design language. The name itself, ‘Canopy Crest,’ suggests a lush elevation, a space that feels green, alive, yet deeply calming.

Green as an Emotion, Not a Colour Swatch

Green isn’t used here as a colour trend. It’s a mood. A narrative thread that weaves through the home — sometimes as a deep forest-toned cabinet, sometimes as a soft botanical wallpaper, and at other times, as an abstract 3D wave wall that almost feels alive. “We didn’t want to do an indoor jungle. The idea was to evoke nature through form, texture, and feeling,” Vidhi explains.

The entrance sets the tone right away. Warm wood tones meet textured charcoal black tiles, creating a quiet, grounded palette. A curved mirror subtly breaks symmetry, adding softness to the structured space. Just beyond, a bespoke marble console stands against a lush botanical wallpaper, leading you into the home like a soft crescendo. Floating above, a glass-blown installation by Hive glows gently — like dewdrops caught mid-air.

The Living Space — Sculptural Yet Personal

The living and dining areas are where the design story fully unfolds. A sweeping green wall, crafted in 3D layers, becomes the focal point — not as a loud feature but as an artistic interpretation of topography. It grounds the space, both visually and emotionally. Curved ivory sofas, ochre chairs, and a marble coffee table that mimics the jaggedness of rock formations add tactile depth.

Underfoot, the rug isn’t just a design element — it picks up on the room’s rhythm, blending green forms into graphic black and white lines, creating a subtle tension between nature and structure.

Every Texture Tells a Story

Nothing in Canopy Crest is picked for the sake of it. Boucle fabrics, matte veneers, textured marbles — every material invites touch. The dining space is anchored by a sculptural marble-top table, with a mustard floral wallpaper glowing softly behind. Above it, another glass installation floats, mirroring the one at the entrance, creating a sense of continuity.

Circular green panels, soft wave motifs — these elements repeat across spaces, but in a way that’s gentle, never overwhelming. “We wanted the design to have a rhythm, like a tide that carries you through the home without you realising it,” Vidhi says.

Bedrooms that Cocoon, Not Decorate

Each bedroom continues the story, but with its own mood. The master bedroom is earthy, bold, and deeply comforting. A custom hand-tufted carpet headboard by Soisu wraps the bed like a soft sculpture, blurring lines between furniture and art. Shades of burnt sienna, olive, teal, and ochre pulse through the space, creating warmth without heaviness.

The sons’ rooms are quieter, but never sterile. Dark stone veneers, beaded mirrors, layered greys, and soft blue accents keep the material language alive, while allowing each space to feel personal.

Even the bathrooms are part of this conversation — Panda marble and organic stone textures continue the same design dialect, while the kitchen brings in a playful twist with green acrylic shutters paired with warm veneers. “The kitchen had to breathe freshness, but also feel connected to the rest of the home. That’s why we grounded it with white Statuario marble,” Vidhi points out.

Light, Movement, and Breathing Space

One of the most thoughtful aspects of Canopy Crest is how it responds to light. With panoramic city views and abundant sunlight, window treatments are kept minimal. As the day progresses, the materials shift — veneers glow warmer, marbles deepen, shadows ripple across the wave walls, making the space feel alive, constantly changing.

“We didn’t want to fill rooms with design. We wanted to leave space for the home to breathe, for the residents to make it their own,” Vidhi says.

Biophilia as Mindset, Not Motif

Canopy Crest doesn’t rely on obvious biophilic trends. There are no oversized planters or green walls shouting for attention. Instead, nature is abstracted through curves, textures, and thoughtful materiality. A PU-finished wall in the bedroom, inspired by traditional weaving patterns, pays subtle homage to handcraft. Locally sourced marbles from Genuine Marbles ensure the materiality stays grounded in authenticity.

“It’s not about adding a few plants and calling it biophilia. It’s about designing with nature’s rhythm — softness, flow, and breathing space,” Vidhi explains.

A Home That Ages With You

Canopy Crest isn’t designed for Instagram. It’s designed to age gracefully. The emphasis on tactile materials, natural finishes, and layered textures ensures the home will evolve beautifully over time. “We wanted this home to feel just as relevant and comforting 10 years from now,” Vidhi says.

In a world obsessed with statement design, Canopy Crest stands as a quiet rebellion. It’s not loud. It doesn’t follow trends. It feels. It holds space. And it breathes.
