Take a tour of architect Bijoy Jain’s work
Hindustan TimesBijoy Jain, 59, moved into his current home-and-studio in Mumbai’s Byculla in 2015. Seven studio-homes of varying sizes, of which Jain’s is one, are connected by a long narrow open space that acts as a “street”.. Everything was crafted by hand. In 2021, Bijoy Jain became the first Indian architect to collaborate with the luxury brand Hermès. The table was crafted by a stonecutter in Burgundy and currently sells for about $50,000.. One of Jain’s first international projects was the Lantern Onomichi Garden hotel, built within an avant-garde mountainside apartment block on the slopes of Mount Senkoji in Hiroshima, Japan. Among Jain’s materials of choice for this project was Japanese washi paper, which lines the walls of the hotel’s library, lending the room a soft, light texture.
