Mouchaak
Location: Gurugram
Built type: Residential Apartment
Carpet area: 1550 sqft
Year of completion: 2025
Tucked within a 1550 sq. ft. carpet area, this urban apartment by ClayScape Architects embodies zen-inspired living through simplicity, craftsmanship, and mindful design. Rooted in the Wabi-Sabi philosophy, the space celebrates imperfection and raw beauty. The colour palette—soft off-whites, beiges, sage green, mustard ochre, and charcoal black—creates a serene backdrop, punctuated by the warmth of teak-toned wood throughout flooring, cabinetry, and furniture.
Refurbished wood pieces, bespoke furniture, and hand-made art pieces elevate the sensory experience, while tactile elements like cane in cabinet shutters, chair backrests, and light screens introduce traditional craftsmanship. Linen upholstery, ceramic accents, and handwoven rugs add subtle textures. The custom-designed furniture, with soft curves and clean lines, embraces the Zen ethos of simplicity and fluidity.
The spatial flow is open and deliberate, encouraging calm and clarity. Built-in niches house curated artworks, including a Buddha mural by Ar. Priyanka Das Gupta, offering moments of reflection. Lighting, through warm cove and track fixtures, creates an ambient glow that highlights key features without overwhelming the space. The kitchen, with sage green base cabinets, white upper shutters, black hardware, and a herringbone-patterned backsplash, aligns seamlessly with the home’s material and colour story.
This apartment, blending modern elegance with timeless principles, offers a tranquil retreat in the heart of the city, where every detail—from textures to proportions—harmonizes to create a peaceful, soulful environment.
