Suniel’s home is set out to mimic the story arc of a film: there is an introduction, a body, and a climax to this story. With the two big themes of greenery and wooden accents taking center stage, the colour story here is one that blends beautifully with the views that surround this house. The architecture of this house is one with nature: there’s even boulders on the hillside that have been left in place and are now a part of the living area, there are beams from a railroad that make for a short walkway to the dining area, there is a room with a roof that splits open so you can see the stars at night.
Suniel and wife Mana have built a home they’re proud of, and rightfully so: they have nurtured this patch of the hillside and have personally planted scores of trees and plants over the last decade, they have tended to the brook that runs by their home, they have made memories to last a lifetime. Their children have grown up here, and Suniel is reminded of his own childhood in this home: the light, the air, the sounds all speak of a place far from the busy-ness of Mumbai. In the end, that is how it should be: a home should be a collection of memories not just of your recent past, but of your beginnings as well.
There is a lot of heart in this home, real and unfiltered, tethered and down-to-earth. Much like Suniel Shetty, this is a home that hasn’t lost touch with its roots.
