MuseLAB is an end-to-end design studio; creating thoughtful and engaging architecture, interior environments, furniture and products. In 2012 partners Huzefa Rangwala and Jasem Pirani founded the studio built upon their shared passion for design. Each experience and or product embodies integrity and is created with the same care, skill and attention to detail. “At MuseLAB, we believe that design is a constant dialogue between the built and the unbuilt, the inhabitable and the habitable, the realised and the desired. Our approach is often pluralistic where we try to find the balance between diverse thoughts and ideas. The studio is held together by ideas, beliefs and shared humanistic values and refuses to adhere to any defined boundaries.”
PROJECT IN FOCUS – Hacienda
Location: Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu
Typology: Residential
Year of Completion: 2023
Design Concept: A fusion of different styles of architecture
Material Palette: Marble, Spanish and Chettinad Tiles
What we Heart: Charming courtyards, lofty arched openings, and sloping roofs that pay homage to the architectural styles of both Spain and Chettinad. The Swimming Pool – a 75-foot-long vault covered in black and white mosaic tiles, which serves as a captivating focal point.
Tradition merges with modernity in this architectural curation by Jasem Pirani and Huzefa Rangwala of MuseLAB. Their most ambitious project yet adheres to Manaiyadi Shastram, an ancient Southern Indian science, while paying homage to Spanish haciendas. Spread across a 39,400 sq ft plot, the home features charming courtyards and sloping roofs. The 12,000-square-foot residence centres around a courtyard, connecting social areas like the pool and dining space. MuseLAB infuses the home with authenticity, curating spaces that evoke timeless sophistication. Collaboration with local artisans adds depth and character, creating a transformative retreat for homeowners.
