Sans Souci, Printemps & Panorama, Malabar Hill. Built Year: 1934, 1935, 1938 respectively. Architects: Master, Sathe & Bhuta. Contractors: Reinforcement work by K.J. Mhatre, and flooring by Bharat Tiles. 7,000 sq. yards of land, on Ridge Road, Malabar Hill, were bought by two brothers, Hemchand Mohanlal & Bhogilal Mohanlal, ca 1932. The plot was divided into two private trusts. Their third brother, Manilal Mohanlal, bought a plot of 3,700 sq. yards, further down the same road at Malabar Hill, going towards the Raj Bhavan. This plot yet commands a spectacular view of the Queens Necklace.

Three identical Art Deco buildings were constructed by the three brothers: Sans Souci, Printemps & Panorama. When built each building comprised a ground floor (or an elevated first floor) plus two upper floors. According to Monal Jhaveri, grand-daughter of Manilal, who built Panorama, it was an unwritten policy laid down by Mohanlal (her great-grandfather) that all his sons would live separately. This led to commissioning these three identical buildings.

All three buildings have external walls in Malad stone (trachyte), rarely seen in Art Deco buildings of the time. Accented by chevron patterns on the railings of balconies, windows, and entrance gates. Decorative columns add a sense of elegance, featuring vertical fluting that emphasizes height and symmetry, along with decorative banding. Overall, there are hints of Neo-Classical elements, from the banding around the windows to the columns. However, upon closer observation, the details reveal Deco ornamentation.

The well-maintained landscaping further enhances the visual appeal, with flowers adorning various parts of the structure. Whilst Sans Souci stands as it was with a newly constructed building at the back, Printemps had two additional floors and terraces added in the 70s & Panorama, which was sold to Avabai Petit in 1946, later has several floors added to the original three-storeyed Art Deco construction.
