The ocean is an essential part of the identity of Mumbai; performing a role in every citizen’s life in more ways than one. The Lexus Mumbai in Juhu, takes its inspiration from the various features of Mumbai’s coast. At the very helm of it all, the facade mimics ocean waves with its ribbed parametric undulating surface. The ribs also create a sense of continuity and coherence with the showroom façade below. The polished granite wall reflects the texture of a coarse sand beach, thus together lending to the appearance of a coastline.
