Where design and a dog came together to build Moshiyana
Moshiyana is not just where Deepak and Shefali live. It is how their life unfolded. Built for two humans and their dogs, the home leans into instinct over instruction. An artist’s abode at heart, it follows a singular design language, and yet quietly breaks it in moments.
Originally a four bedroom space, it was reimagined into a two bedroom home with an open floor plan that allows for movement and creates multiple gathering spaces. The shift was less about reduction and more about making room for how they truly live.
The red terracotta floors arrive like a bold first stroke, grounding, imperfect, alive. The flooring anchors the space, setting the tone for a home that embraces colour and imperfection. The walls remain intentionally white, not as a neutral choice but as a conscious canvas, holding art, experiments, and everything in progress. Red brick, once a nostalgic moodboard desire of the owner, finds its way into the home without compromise.
Natural light becomes a material in itself. It moves through the house, from façade to bathrooms, softening edges and revealing textures. Nothing here is uniform. Doors and windows are reclaimed and reimagined, painted in bright hues, each holding its own personality.
The kitchen, open and unapologetically lived in, holds equal parts art and everyday. Grocery supplies sit alongside art, blurring the line between utility and expression. To complement this openness, the staircase remains visually light, its form inspired by the stepwells, bringing rhythm, and a sense of memory into the home.
At its centre is Moshi, their dog, their constant. A raised perch allows her to observe the home like its quiet guardian, while open, uninterrupted spaces invite movement, play, and pause.
