Shah Baug, designed by architects Merwanji, Bana & Co., is a visual treat with its streamlined form defined by curvilinear eyebrows, stunning cantilevered corner balconies & vertical banding all set in a warm evocative colour palette. Pictured here are its ornate windows with decorative grilles and dark red highlights. The building's most striking feature is the frosted glass panel on the front facade, reminiscent of the glass panels seen on Rajjab Mahal and Shiv Shanti Bhuvan at Oval, also designed by the same architects.

Shah Baug I is a beautiful Art Deco building nestled in the posh locality of Cumballa Hill, Mumbai. About her experience living there in the 1950s, Farida Sultan from Kuwait, writes – “The building where we lived in Bombay was called Shah Baug on Peddar Road and was inhabited primarily by Indians. It was four or five stories high and built in the Art Deco style. It was also just one block away from the Cadbury factory, so you could occasionally smell chocolate in the air. Across the street from us was a Hindu temple, and outside of it were trays of marigold garlands and coconuts to offer to the gods.“ Image credit: The Modern House in India by ACC Words are courtesy Farida Sultan (@faridahsultan ), the director of Sultan gallery (@sultangallery ), a Kuwait-based not for profit gallery.
