Philosophy: Design is understanding the psychology of the human mind.
Designing spaces that tell a story and take you on a journey is one of the take the user through an experience and inculcate knowledge at the sam successful.
Catering to the curiosity of the human mind is what drives me to spatial body to behave in a particular way with the help of tangible and intangib
The journey that the concept goes through is the most exciting part, a g product, this is possible with collaborations, conversations, team work a

A B O U T: Stormy House/Arashi no ie is a walk-in video and sound installation which immerses visitors in text fragments and hauntings from the ghost world of Wuthering Heights and a parallel universe of kaidan (Japanese ghost tales). The uncanny elements of Emily Brontë’s novel are explored in an extended comparison with these ancient tales, which were collected and translated over a hundred years ago by Greco-Irish author Patrick Lafcadio Hearn. In a space inspired by a Japanese tea house, visitors find themselves between two writers and their writing rooms. Their words and drawings are the source of the immersive experience, which plays out in the form of multiple projections across several screens. Stormy House/Arashi no ie is an installation by Whitestone Arts and 59 Productions, in partnership with Brontë Parsonage Museum and Theatre in the Mill. It is supported by Arts Council England, British Council, Bradford Metropolitan District Council, The Japan Society and Wabi Sabi Design.

A B O U T: This concept design for a kinetic pavilion for an annual International Arts Festival in Norway has enabled us to explore a typology we believe to be truly innovative – creating architectural form with the inbuilt capacity to help tell different stories, as well as creating spectacular ‘show’ moments. Inspired by a provocation to help the people of Bergen see their city slightly differently, (as well as the extraordinary surrounding landscape), the sculptural form contains 400 independently controlled rotating mirrored panels which can be programmed in myriad different ways. The pavilion form is both inward and outward looking – enabling it to become an intimate space for reflection, a space for small scale performance or the backdrop to a large scale performance for thousands – it is intended to be programmed to support many different artists and audiences throughout the day and night.

A B O U T: Set during the Thatcher years, this political and passionate musical tells the story of Giddeon, a sailor returning home to Wallsend after 17 years away. He soon discovers the ship-building life he left behind in chaos, the yard is closing and no one knows what will come next. With the engine fired and pistons in motion, picket lines are drawn as foreman Jackie White and his wife Peggy fight to hold their community together in the face of the gathering storm. Execution: A set which represents the world inside a shipyard and the world above. A work in progress ship building yard, which then transforms into interior spaces, quickly with the help of gauze and projection. The materiality of the set mimics the finish of an defunct but not entirely obsolete shipyard.

A B O U T: Autumn 1940. The Battle of Britain rages. Southampton is home to our only hope of victory: the Spitfire. But when the Luftwaffe drops 2,300 bombs in three devastating raids, the city goes up in flames and the Woolston Supermarine Spitfire factory is destroyed. From the ashes, a story of chaos, courage and community spirit emerges. Jackie is the third generation of Dimmock at her family-run laundry. Polly is the first and only draughtswoman in the Spitfire design office. How will each woman forge her own path in this evolving landscape? One of Britain’s greatest living playwrights, Hampshire-born Howard Brenton, (Anne Boleyn, Shakespeare’s Globe; Pravda, National Theatre) tells the remarkable and little known story of how Southampton stepped up when the chips were down.

A B O U T: In February, 2018, the Tycho Brahe Planetarium opened its doors to a new exciting exhibition: Made in Space – Your Cosmic History. Made in Space is about awe, inspiration and wonder. It is the story of you, and your cosmic history. It’s about the building blocks of life and their origins in some of the grandest and most extraordinary places in the Universe. Made in Space is a thrilling collaboration that asks some of the biggest of all questions: where did life come from? Where did the universe come from? The answers to these questions are jaw-dropping in their scale and scope. In trying to answer some of these vast, fundamental questions, 59 Productions has designed a unique exhibition space using an exciting array of cutting-edge interactive and immersive technologies. The exhibition will ignite wonder and inspire people to learn more about the cosmos. Using large scale projections and digital interactive exhibits it tells an epic story on a grand scale.

FURNITURE The space needed to achieve as much light lock as possible, to allow for the projection to have a maximum effect, but at the same time we needed to make sure there was a good visibility balance for circulation. The materials that were chosen were essentially in tones of black. The primary material being Black Valchromat and plaster board which was finished to match the shade of the black walls. The furniture and details in the space were finished with black brushed aluminium frames, recessing the screens and ipads where necessary.

DESIGN INTERVENTION A large concrete space was intervened into to form a circular movement astronomy exhibition. The circulation was set up so as to divide various chapters of the journey, and the content of each of these chapters formulated the design and area occupied by it.

BRIEF: Obsolescence to un-obsolescence, the opportunity to repurpose and re-imagine an obsolete interior/ architecture was the emergence of the Clouds Observatory. The site is a subterranean reservoir in Greenwich Park, and the proposed programme is that of an Observatory for Clouds. An interesting juxtaposition of using a space that is subterranean to observe something in the sky. The close proximity to the Royal Observatory provided an opportunity for it to be intervened into as an observatory. As Rabindranath Tagore puts it, “Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add colour to my sunset sky.” The journey is programmed in a way to let you appreciate, experience and observe clouds, a step by step process to immerse oneself completely into the beauty of clouds. Watching clouds is known as a day dreamer’s science, this project aims to make people enjoy the beauty of the cumulus to cumulonimbus. It is an attempt to encourage people to pause for a moment from their busy lives in the city and look up and either choose to identify the category of clouds or build castles in the clouds. As G.K. Chesterton said, “There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.” Architecture is an attempt to separate one from the weather. Artificial weather conditions are created to make one feel more comfortable, which is leading to the gradual obsolescence of the natural weatheric conditions. We are highly dependent on technology today to watch the weather, but in the earlier days, people would observe clouds to forecast weather conditions. Watching weather is a crucial part of our daily routine in London, today we use technology to keep us updated with the weatheric conditions outside, but a few decades ago, we would observe the movement of the clouds and forecast the weather conditions. Observing clouds is not only a science but an inspiration for art as well. Observing clouds is what led to being the guiding point. Clouds are poetic as well as scientific. They give you information about the weather and inspire you to imagine at the same time. Gavin Pretor-Pinney, said, Clouds are nature’s own Rorschach Blots.

BRIEF: Purpose: Installation - open ended Design Brief: The set of materials used were the determining factor for the design. The materials being, Birch faced ply, grey felt, white powder coated metal sheet and fabric. The materials each resonate a quality that emotes a certain level of comfort and calmness to the human body and mind. Wood as a material has the quality to make us feel warm and comfortable, the fabric is a poetic material that has the power to create architecture without making noise. And white - Shiro (Japanese) the sensory experience of white, where the white appears to be white against the other colours present around it. White is not a colour, it is a feeling of purity.

BRIEF: Design Brief: Follow the Hermes theme of the year and interpret it into the Windows for the season. Theme: ‘METAMORPHOSIS’ Execution: Taking inspiration from the tessellations of M. C. Escher, and combining it with the iconic logos of the brand, like: The ‘H’, Kelly Lock, Chainlink, Horse and Horse Shoe. The 6 windows are considered in totality with a gradual progression of one pattern slowly morphing into another thereby creating a movement of tessellated patterns across all windows. Further- the two windows on either side of the entrance, take on an image, where the patterns morph to form a horse within.

Role: Design Concept - Design Development - Working Drawings Design Brief: Jaipur Modern needed to be a homage to the craft of the India karigar (craftsman) ; honouring designers working at the highest level of excellence and innovation. Execution: Located in a 1940’s bungalow, the space is used to amplify its original characteristics; conscious of retaining the original layout and spirit. Respecting the old structure and not imposing superfluous design elements. The cafÊ wall is entirely constructed from 400 wooden bricks, each one requiring three hours to. The exterior verandah and garden allowed for more distinct graphics; the Louise Bourgeois inspired verandah design was crafted by marble inlay Karigars from Agra.

BRIEF: Design Philosophy: Create not only a new product with a new form and an innovative shape, but, to create a new and innovative process of using materials. Design Strategy: To create a process of production, use existing techniques,combine them, experiment with materials and design products. Further more the technique used can not only create one product, but can be used to create an end number of products. Thus the strategy behind this collection was to experiment, think, innovate. Keeping in mind the above strategy, the process of brainstorming on what could be the approach to satisfy the philosophy began. Materials Chosen: Wood : A traditional material. Resin : An enginered material Wood + Resin, combining these materials traditional and modern and experimenting with them till a particular direction is favoured upon or struck upon. No specific form was thought so as to begin with the experiment, other than the fact that wood and resign should be combined to cast. Process: Taking some planks of wood, they were put in a plastic container (being used as a mould), then the resin was poured between the planks of wood, helped in filling up the negative spaces. Once resin had solidified, the block of wood and resin, needed a function, adding another step of process to it, the block of resin and wood is turned on the Lathe machine, to five the block a form and function. Product Possibilities: Lamps, Candle Holders, Pen Stands, Stools.
