The focus of this dynamic conversation was The Legend by Ashar, our flagship uber-luxurious residential development situated in the exclusive locale of Pali Hill, Bandra. This episode is an essential watch for connoisseurs who value thoughtful architecture, timeless design, and the art of refined living.
The Vision Behind The Legend by Ashar and the Design Collaboration
The discussion opens with Ayushi Ashar sharing how The Legend by Ashar was conceived as a home that carries forward the emotional, cultural and architectural significance of the land it stands on. She highlights the intention to preserve the legacy of the iconic Dilip Kumar Sahab while reimagining it through a modern lens—expressed through thoughtful architecture, timeless design language and understated elegance.
The dialogue naturally evolves into the project’s collaboration with designers Sarah and Sandeep Gonsalves, whose refined, contemporary aesthetic aligns seamlessly with the project’s Art Deco inspiration. Together, they reflect on the shared values of craftsmanship, authenticity and meticulous detailing, revealing how these principles shaped both the fashion showcase and the spirit of the residences.
Crafting a Space That Resonates: Insights from the Conversation
Sharing the intent behind the project, Ayushi Ashar explains that The Legend by Ashar is crafted to evoke emotion, saying “we often hear that people don’t feel like we are in Mumbai anymore when they walk in,” and highlighting that true luxury begins with craftsmanship and intention, “the soul of a beautiful home lies in the detail, the materials, and how it is all put together to last.”
Malini Agarwal reinforces this sentiment, noting, “this is not just another show apartment, it is a space that carries a sense of history and legacy.” This legacy comes alive through elements such as the eight sculpted angels representing Dilip Kumar Sahab’s eight awards.
Craftsmanship emerges as a shared philosophy between the panelists; Sarah Gonsalves reflects on how the penthouse’s refined Art Deco aesthetic aligns with their design language, while Sandeep Gonsalves adds, “our clients want to experience the product, not just see it.” Ayushi Ashar expands on the evolution of luxury today, saying, “people today look for something bespoke and understated, luxury that quietly reflects who they are.” Together, their perspectives frame The Legend by Ashar as a home shaped by artistry, heritage, design and timeless legacy.
