Social
The site located in Khar was a restaurant earlier and had fallen into substantial disrepair, the crumbling stone-clad walls, as well as other signs of the derelict envelope, became a point of entry into the project. Social has a strong brand presence in the city and the country.
Manas Tower
The 40-storey tower for Manas Shelters in Tardeo, Mumbai, represents a bold exploration of juxtaposed structural systems aimed at achieving both functional efficiency and architectural innovation. The design is characterized by a two-tiered structural approach, comprising a primary and secondary system, each serving distinct yet complementary purposes.
Indigo Deli
The design of the Indigo Delicatessen at Palladium was conceived as a deliberate departure from the conventional architectural norms typically associated with mall environments and brand establishments. Our aim was to challenge the monotony of repetitive brand architecture and create a space that not only stood out but also subverted the trappings of its mall context. Central to the design approach was the juxtaposition of programmatic elements and spatial intent, blending the intimacy and warmth of traditional wine cellars with the functional requirements of retail shelving. This fusion of disparate elements gave rise to a unique and visually striking form that served as an insert into the raw space of the mall, effectively obliterating its rigid geometries.
CRAFT Deli
The conception of CRAFT deli as a project was born from a desire to challenge the conventional notion of a deli located within a mall setting, aiming instead to create a distinctive environment that stood in stark contrast to the often sterile and impersonal atmosphere prevalent in mall cultures.
Concrete Void
The concrete void in Navi Mumbai, is designed as a relief from the experience of this existing impervious precinct mass. The design challenges the perception of factories being associated with corrugated sheets as built fabrics and plays with the complexities of solid and void of the program.
Eau Bar
Sitting at one end of the Queen’s Necklace on Marine Drive, newly structured openings to the indomitable view of the Arabian Sea abutting the Marine Drive aren’t the only highlights of the new Eau Bar at The Oberoi Hotel. The golden foliage of an intricate metal tree against a striking red backdrop is the centrepiece of the renovated Eau Bar.
Choksi House
Nestled atop a serene hill enveloped by the tranquility of nature, the architectural vision behind this abode was meticulously crafted to harmonize with its surroundings while offering fulfilling vistas of the nearby lake. The primary focus was to seamlessly integrate the building into the landscape, ensuring minimal disruption to the existing state of natural equilibrium.
Lattice House
The Lattice house is located in a new suburb on the outskirts of Jammu city in north-western India. Its context is symptomatic of the nature of urbanization in many small cities, scattered throughout the fast urbanizing Indian landscape, where formal planning mechanisms are reactive to new and informal settlements that precede them.
