Art Deco Mumbai
Mumbai, India

An archival image of Krishnabad, an Art Deco building located on Warden Road in Cumbala Hill neighbourhood of South Mumbai. Details like continuous eyebrows or chajjas and deep-set balconies, seen here; enable these stylised buildings to respond to the local climate in an aesthetically pleasing manner.

This Deco jewel, designed by G B Mhatere, is a fine example of contemporary building that uses traditional weather treatments in modern form, features elements like winged balconies on every floor and a podium at ground floor that neatly wraps the street corner to form a commercial and retail space.
