This Mumbai home blends nature and design and has a wall of beer bottles. But it's the name that has everyone's hearts
In the concrete jungle of Mumbai, where glass towers rise and space is a luxury, a hidden home carved in the lap of nature has stopped the internet in its tracks. It's not just the organic architecture, curved walls, or even the 1,200 reused beer bottles filtering golden sunset light that's causing the stir, but the name of the house: Assmalay. And once you know what it means, you'll see why netizens are calling it 'not a house, but a feeling.' The serene, earth-toned sanctuary was discovered by internet creator Priyam Saraswat, who visited the home and was given a heartfelt tour by the owners, a naturopathy doctor and his wife. What unfolded was not just a walkthrough, but a philosophy. The couple explained that their home was designed to mimic nature's rhythm, where nothing is rigid, nothing is squared off. Nature flows, and so does their home. A house without corners The house features soft curves and arches, with circular windows positioned for ideal sunlight and natural ventilation. The living space is clad in exposed brick. But the showstopper is a western-facing wall built with over 1,200 reused beer bottles, creating a stained-glass-like light play when the sun sets—sustainability meets poetry. The meaning of Assmalay The house's name has layers of meaning. Split phonetically—'a-sa-ma-lay'—it translates to uneven flow, a nod to the home's curvaceous design. In Sanskrit, Asma means "mine" and Aalay means "home"—together forming my home. And in a sweet personal twist, the first four letters also stand for the initials of the doctor, his wife, and their two children. It took them six months to finalise the name, which has now become a metaphor for their way of life. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Priyam Saraswat (@priyamsaraswat) Internet responds with love and longing Reactions online were instant and emotional. One user wrote that in a city like Mumbai, this isn't just a house—it's heaven. Another was touched more by the name than the design itself, calling Assmalay 'a feeling.' A third user compared it to the kind of dream-house one imagines in childhood—hidden behind a bookshelf, surrounded by trees, and echoing only the breath of nature.
