MuseLAB is known for their pluralistic approach to design often resulting in spaces that are inimitable

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.”

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.
