Inspired by jeans of the Kojima street in Japan, the client wanted their first wholesale denim store of their Bangalore based start-up brand ‘Kozimo Japan’ to be located in Ernakulam.
Client requirements included a leisure sitting area and a discussion area. The store had to be designed by taking into account the different requirements for a wholesale store, while respecting the brand.
Programs are divided into three areas. Customers will enter into a display and lobby area before moving towards the reception desk. The storeroom is situated privately beside the billing area, and will be accessible only by the staff.
The Site had existing shelves placed directly on the floor slab below the finish floor level. We decided not to cover the exposed floor and new shelves were fixed in alignmnet to that area. Since the brand colour was red, we had to use it attentively and green indoor plants were placed to balance the brightness of the red.
A natural touch is given by adding plants, stones, and earth materials. Exposed finishes used in certain areas and lights placed in precise positions helped to evoke a sensory feeling.

PETRA STEEL DOORS
COCHIN, INDIA
‘Petra Steel Doors’, supplier of imported steel doors from China in India, is located in the beautiful tropical area of Ernakulam in Kerala, India. The client envisioned an office cum gallery space for their business venture, which I then brought to life.
Challengingly, the building in which the client wanted to set up their business was designed with the intention to rent out rooms. This acted as a constraint for me, but I strategically chose two rooms on the ground floor of the structure for this project.
Moreover, I wanted to be innovative in the display of the product i.e., doors. Instead of following a basic display of multiple doors, I decided to use a single door for display on the front facade. We used the remaining area as means for ventilation and used brick jalis to let in natural sunlight. Microclimate was also added by implementing water area and landscape.
The interior of the area is divided into two major parts; one major part acts as the gallery while the other part includes the lobby, reception, manager’s room, staff area, pantry and toilet. The entrance proceeds into the lobby and reception area from where the customer has a direct view and easy access to the gallery area. The whole area was planned organically by placing public and private areas accordingly. Throughout the process, I ensured the use of reused materials and followed other sustainable approaches.
All materials used were sourced from nearby areas. Reclaimed metal sheets were used as boundary walls and reused bricks were incorporated into the interior areas and some of the facade areas. The wood panels lining the entrance area were acquired from a nearby wooden shop, which is also reused. Adopting a cost-effective style, I avoided using false ceilings and concealed electricals. Moreover, having access to a second-hand furniture shop nearby, I was able to source Kerala traditional style sofas that complemented the interior design.
Landscape and lightings were designed carefully to create an authentic tropical atmosphere and ambience of the location. All plants on site were locally available.
1. The shape of the structure was adapted to the shape of the given site.
2. The structure had a 4 m height limit due to the presence of an advertisement board adjacent to the site
3. The structure was given a sloping roof due to the mostly monsoon climatic condition of the location.
