Skills & Expertise As a designer, making things look pretty and appealing isn’t enough. Knowing how to take these creations from being appealing to becoming meaningful to the end user is also an aspect that should never be neglected; and that can only be done by crafting great experiences.

LED Diya Screen Detail

The 35-room hotel, located at a short distance from all major attractions, has a distinctive design that focuses on tranquillity and harmony. The elegantly appointed rooms are designed to give guests a sense of place and calm, drawing from the cultural ethos of Haridwar. The other features include a multi-cuisine restaurant, pool and spa with a private bathing ghat (steps with access to the River Ganga for bathing.) It is slated to open in mid-2021. Haridwar, in the North Indian state of Uttarakhand, is one of the oldest living cities and is regarded as one of the seven holiest places for Hindus. It is one of the four places in India that hosts the famous Kumbh Mela and is the base to travel to other popular towns such as Rishikesh, Devprayag and the famous Char Dham Yatra tourist circuit.

WORKIFY Workspace Design Leveraged for Mobiuso Technologies “The world now requires rapid responses focusing on creativity, innovation and design, rather than solely on delivery. To achieve this, work will increasingly be project-based rather than segmented by department, and will need to take place across teams and silos,”

-AM Cham’s EU Future of Skills report. The demand for workspaces has never been greater. As people are spending more time working in offices and these offices are getting more collaborative, the demand for more casual yet private collaboration spaces are increasing and is putting a strain on meeting rooms. The problem is that offices need access to spaces that support collaboration “on demand.” Since employees perform different tasks and a range of activities throughout the day, no one space can support all the requirements. But every space designed, should promote productivity in some form. But they also need to create a sense of psychological comfort, where employees feel relaxed. Space matters because people matter. The place where people come together needs to provide choice and control over how and when one works. Spaces need to reflect who the individuals and teams are of the organizations and their diverse needs.

DESIGN BRIEF & CONCEPT D sign Bri To design an efﬁcient workspace for Mobiuso Technologies on the 6th ﬂoor of Times Square Building, Marol, Mumbai. The work environment should provide places that offer varying ways to achieve privacy, in both open and enclosed spaces, which is essential for focus. The workplace should support the need for focus and rejuvenation through workspaces where individuals and teams can think clearly, concentrate easily, solve problems and generate new ideas. It should encourage regular movement throughout the day and offer options for people to work in sitting, standing or lounge postures. The space should enable quality interactions with teams that are both local and across continents and different time zones and therefore supporting both digital W analogue communication. Spaces will be created such that the social nature of work and that nurture a sense of belonging and foster connections between people and the organization. It will also have spaces that can blend design and materiality without compromising performance can inspire new ways of thinking and fuelling creativity.

Design Concept

Ecosystem of Spaces

A ﬂexible and agile workspace is the one that can adapt and evolve over time. An innovation center and a workcafé is such that, it needs to allow the users to choose their work space based on the task assigned. Therefore, there are ﬁve spatial zones that can be designed to accommodate both the employee needs and the organizational needs.

Zoning

■ Resident zone: A resident zone is a space for employees who have assigned spaces and teams to work with. ■ Migrant zone: A space for mobile workers who can use the spaces for collaborative work or individual work. It can also be used by employees who are working between two or more projects or tasks.

LAYOUTS

Collaboration Zone Variations

Video Conference Room Variations

In the layout, the space distribution is based on a horizontal axis that divides the space into three. The front part is reserved for the entrance area and the conference room; while the second part is considered as working and socializing areas; and the third part is used for private rooms and hotdesking. Also, semi-private areas were created in the meeting rooms by using glass. The collaborattion zone is completely ﬂexible zone, where in the users can move the partitions and furniture to create different furniture arrangements as per usage and requirement. The furniture can also be completely moved and the space can be used for events.

UKIYO ONSEN & SPA Men and women, young and old, in today’s age, live a lifestyle of hustle and bustle as if at the market. I think it has become cardinal that we pause for a moment and think about ourselves and our health. The hustle in our life has made us oblivious about taking care of what we eat, how we exercise, stress management and mental health. Traditionally, in the countryside of Japan, ﬁshermen and farmers would spend their off seasons at the onsens to heal up for the work to come. This practice was known as toji—literally, “hot spring cure.” The Japanese bath is more than just a bath: it is a cleansing ritual, a way to restore both body and mind. Bathing just once in hot spring will clear your skin, and continued bathing will cure all of your aches and pains. Achieving such positive results through bathing in these waters, I would like to call it ‘The water of the Gods.’ SITE LOCATION: Space 118 Wadibunder road, Mazgaon, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400010.

LIGHT BOXES TRANSMISSION While experimenting with light I was fascinated by optical mysteries.The green and blue cascading ripples in the water captivated me – soothing yet unpredictable. Diving deeper into light transmission, I was amazed to ﬁnd my inspiration. Over time, the boundaries between realism and abstraction blurred as I concentrated on distorted water patterns created by the fabric. These ripples offer me more than peaceful undulating waves that appear on a surface like water. Transmitting lights bounce off the fabric, resulting in shapes & forms that open a doorway to subjective perceptions .

REFLECTION & REFRACTION I find that light’s reflections and refractions offer endless compositions of abstract beauty. I am intrigued by the intricate patterns formed on the surface and how they can convey both movement and stillness, it seems as if these reflections create an alternate reality. Through the light box, my aim is to invent peculiar reflections full of coloured embellishments. The final result is a fresh reality that hopefully poses a sense of intrigue, forcing the viewer to interpret their own ideas about the visual narrative.
