This Art Deco Townhouse built in the 1940s by a well known art collector and the then sheriff of Mumbai, Jehangir Nicholson is replete with a rich history. Years later his diligent search led him to find yet another patron and connoisseur of the arts,
Sangita Devi Kathiwada. In 2002 she went on to redesign the house completely to suit her contemporary living. Circa 2020 The House opened its doors to the discerning .


Housing some of the finest art, objects and
furniture, with ample natural light flowing in from the private gardens the space is reflective of the owner’s personal expression and her passion for heritage restoration.

This space provides the tribe of curious and creative individuals with a unique experience.
