A little shop located in the center of the city, selling various kind of chocolates all over the world-nicely presented.

The use of material Glass was the ideal solution when light is at a premium. The glass staircase add an air of exclusivity and design elegance. The sleek look and the clean lines of the glass steps created a look that got noticed. When glass was combined with stainless steel fittings it created a walkway connecting the two levels.

The proper use of light in the display area made it very live and attractive.

At  the  core  of  this  apartment  design   lies  the  principle  of  Human-­‐conscious  space  management.  By  neatly  balancing  occupied  areas  with  the  space  for  movement  –  while  taking  care  of  the  aesthe5c  benchmarks  decided  at  planning  stage  –  this  apartment  was  designed  to  obtain  the  look  of  a  ‘compact  infinity’  for  its  occupants.  For  a  sizeable   Indian  family,   it  was  essen5al  to  have  privacy  of  each  member  without  sacrificing  the  visual  connec5on.  Hence,  the   ‘square  family  spaces’   (kitchen,  dining,  living)  were  divided   into  2  rectangles  by  a   low  height  par55on  to  define  circula5on  as  well  as   to  maintain  visual  access.  On  macro   level,   the  apartment  height  was  aligned  with   the   length   by   a  maintained   ra5o   through   keeping   the   ceiling   design  minimum.   Certain   openings  were   cut   down   to  maintain   the   opening   ra5o  while  grooves  were  used  to  define  or  differen5ate  spaces  by  using  aesthe5cally  appealing  elements  like  grou5ng  in  5les,  ceiling  etc.      A  transcendental  sort  of  component,  the  buffer  spaces  like  foyers  and  study  were  created  before  bedrooms  which  acted  as  intervals  between  two  different  5mes  and  spaces  for  the  occupants  of  the  apartment.  Accentua5ng  the  central  shade  of  white,  other  surface  make-­‐up  like  laminates  or  color  of  furniture  was  kept  to  maintain  minimalist  look.  Add-­‐on  elements  like  pain5ngs  and  wall  paper  were  kept  in  tandem  with  the  en5re  aesthe5c  to  give  a  holis5c  visual  iden5ty.

This is a single-level residential flat covering an area of 3740 sq ft.. The interior of the house was under taken for the old age couple. The house is based on the British colonial architectural theme. The house has low ceiling height, and still meeting the client’s requirements: centrally HVAC system with minimum false ceiling levels, was the major botheration.

The clients requirements were a home theatre and a master bedroom with a lounge, to achieve these requirements major civil change were made like merging of two bedrooms etc.
