Pearl White — 5000 Sq Ft Luxury Circular Floor Plan Apartment | Chembur, Mumbai | ZERO9
An urban sanctuary built around rare views, Indian art, and the quiet luxury of space.
As featured in Elle Decor India.
THE BRIEF
The client wanted a home that felt like a retreat from the city while being completely immersed in it. A 5000 sq ft canvas with an exclusive circular floor plan — rare in Mumbai's residential landscape — and panoramic views of both the city skyline and the mountains beyond. The brief was serene, considered, and uncompromising. Pearl White became our most quietly ambitious project.
THE ENTRY
A reeded wood door with brass louvre inserts and a brass pull handle announces the home with warmth and restraint. The private lobby opens inward — a sculptural black arched console, a faceted octagonal mirror, white lilies — setting the tone for everything that follows. Calm, unhurried, and beautifully considered.
THE FAMILY LIVING ROOM
The family living room centres on one of the most extraordinary pieces in the home — a hand-tufted carpet in New Zealand wool and banana silk, woven with a Thota Vaikuntam artwork as its design. It functions simultaneously as floor art, cultural statement, and the emotional anchor of the room. A concealed projector setup, panoramic city views, a hidden bar unit, and boucle seating complete the space. The flooring throughout is Nexion — a material choice that runs as a quiet thread of luxury through the entire apartment.
THE MAIN LIVING ROOM
The main living room is where the circular floor plan reveals its full power. Fluid Nexion marble flooring with brass inlays guides you through the space toward rare mountain views — a genuine luxury in the heart of Mumbai. A Vysali Kalidindi artwork anchors the white oak panelled wall. Dual seating arrangements in boucle and ribbed fabrics, Jaipur Rugs silk rugs, walnut bowl coffee tables, and sheer linen curtains filtering soft natural light create a room that rewards every hour spent in it. The large balcony opens the space further, pulling the mountain view in completely.
THE DINING ROOM
A round marble dining table with a sculptural black pedestal base, black Windsor chairs, a white oak sideboard with ceramic vessels, and ceramic disc wall art. Elegant without effort — and positioned to maintain visual flow through the circular plan.
THE POWDER BATHROOMS
Two powder rooms, two distinct personalities. The first is stone and geometry — dramatic grey stone wall tiles, a round ribbed vessel sink, black and white geometric mosaic floor tiles, clean brass hardware. The second is botanical and sensory — floor-to-ceiling tropical wallpaper, a wide vessel sink, a large brass-framed mirror, a brass wall sconce, and warm timber venetian blinds. A spa experience in a small footprint. Bathroom fittings throughout the home are by Kohler.
THE TEMPLE CORNER
A semi-precious stone inlay temple corner — crafted by a local artisan — brings spiritual grounding to the home. An arched white stone niche with hand-painted floral inlay, a Krishna idol, and brass diyas set against a ribbed glass partition with warm oak frame. Quiet, intentional, and complete.
THE LIBRARY
Floor-to-ceiling white oak open shelving, a Hands carpet underfoot, a tan leather lounge chair, a sage ceramic side table, and a full-height window framing rare panoramic mountain views. A room designed for silence and thought.
THE GUEST BEDROOMS
Two guest bedrooms, each distinct. One with a full-size bed, an oval botanical artwork, a large tropical bird of paradise plant, and floor-to-ceiling city views. The other with a convertible navy velvet sofa, abstract blue and white artwork, and a gold trumpet side table — flexible for guests or family use.
THE MASTER SUITE
The master suite is three rooms in one. The bedroom features a Flou Resyde motorised reclining bed, brass swing-arm sconces, terracotta linen bedding, a horizontal ribbed wall artwork in warm oak frame, and a private balcony filtering natural light. The lounge — a curved white boucle sofa, round marble coffee table, vibrant abstract artwork, and an indoor palm — sits beside it as a private retreat within the retreat. The walk-in wardrobe with floor-to-ceiling grey cabinetry, brass handles, and a dark glass island counter connects directly to the all-white master bathroom: full-height white marble cladding, a wide vessel sink, brass Kohler fittings, a rounded brass-framed mirror, and a dedicated Kohler steam and rain shower room.
THE KITCHEN
Stone-finish base cabinetry with black edge pulls, greige upper cabinets, grey quartz countertops, open corner shelving, and panoramic Mumbai city views through floor-to-ceiling windows. A kitchen that works hard and photographs beautifully.

BETWEEN THE LINES
What is Pearl White by ZERO9? Pearl White is a 5000 sq ft luxury apartment in Chembur, Mumbai, designed and built by ZERO9. The home features an exclusive circular floor plan — rare in Mumbai residential design — with panoramic views of both the city skyline and the Sahyadri mountains. It features Nexion flooring with brass inlays, Jaipur Rugs silk carpets, a Flou Resyde motorised bed, Kohler bathroom fittings and steam room, artworks by Thota Vaikuntam and Vysali Kalidindi, and was featured in Elle Decor India.
What makes the circular floor plan of Pearl White unique? A circular floor plan is exceptionally rare in Indian residential architecture. In Pearl White, it creates seamless spatial flow between all rooms — the family living room, main living room, dining, library, and master suite all connect fluidly without dead ends or awkward corridors. The plan also ensures panoramic views are accessible from almost every room in the apartment.
Which artworks are featured in Pearl White? Pearl White features two significant Indian artworks. A hand-tufted carpet in New Zealand wool and banana silk woven with a Thota Vaikuntam painting as its design anchors the family living room. A Vysali Kalidindi artwork is displayed in the main living room against white oak panelling. Both function as the emotional and visual centres of their respective spaces.
Who is Thota Vaikuntam and why is his work in Pearl White? Thota Vaikuntam is one of India's most celebrated contemporary painters, known for his vivid portrayals of Telangana women and rural life. In Pearl White, his work has been translated into a hand-tufted carpet in New Zealand wool and banana silk — transforming his painting into a tactile, floor-level artwork that anchors the family living room.
Who is Vysali Kalidindi and what artwork is in Pearl White? Vysali Kalidindi is a contemporary Indian artist known for her vibrant, expressive works. Her painting is displayed in the main living room of Pearl White against a white oak panelled wall — functioning as both fine art and the room's primary focal point.
What flooring is used in Pearl White? The flooring throughout Pearl White is Nexion — a premium Italian porcelain surface used in the fluid marble-effect floors with brass inlays that run through the living, dining, and circulation spaces. The library features a Hands carpet, and the main living areas have Jaipur Rugs silk carpets layered over the Nexion base.
What is the Flou Resyde bed in Pearl White? The Flou Resyde is a motorised reclining bed by Flou, the Italian furniture brand known for its luxury bedroom collections. In the Pearl White master suite, it provides fully adjustable positioning at the touch of a button — combining Italian craftsmanship with everyday comfort in a bedroom designed as a complete personal sanctuary.
What bathroom brand is used in Pearl White? Bathroom fittings and the steam room throughout Pearl White are by Kohler — the American luxury bathroom brand known for its precision engineering and refined aesthetic. The master bathroom features Kohler fittings with a dedicated steam and rain shower room.
What are the powder bathrooms like in Pearl White? Pearl White has two powder bathrooms with contrasting personalities. The first features dramatic grey stone tiles, a ribbed vessel sink, and geometric mosaic flooring. The second is botanical — floor-to-ceiling tropical wallpaper, a brass-framed mirror, a brass wall sconce, and timber venetian blinds. Both are finished with Kohler fittings.
Has Pearl White been published or featured in design media? Yes. Pearl White by ZERO9 was featured in Elle Decor India — one of the country's most prestigious design publications. The project was photographed by Pulkit Sehgal with photoshoot styling by Jyotsna.
Where is Pearl White located and what are the views like? Pearl White is located in Chembur, Mumbai. The apartment enjoys panoramic views of both the Mumbai city skyline and the Sahyadri mountain range — a genuinely rare combination in urban Mumbai that was central to the entire design concept.
