t Khosla Associates, we are contextualists who believe that architecture should be rooted in one’s environment and to a particular site. After walking through a particular site we always like to ask ourselves – What building does this site really want to see?

varied experiences, and we enjoy creating work which references the old, has a hint of nostalgia while being wholly innovative. Living in a tropical environment, our architecture is climate sensitive and the relationship between built form and the external environment constant.

While we work with an international style, we draw inspiration from traditional concepts, craft as well as local material. We interpret the same with a contemporary design approach.

We work in a hands-on way working closely to customize solutions with our collaborators. The process of making is sometimes as rewarding as the process of conceiving. We look at design holistically often blurring the boundaries between the disciplines of architecture, interior design, landscape, furniture and lighting. We have over the past 20 years tried to develop our version of an ‘India Modern’ sensibility.

Our design is experiential and attempts to modulate space to create beautiful, peaceful or dramatic spaces. There is a certain romanticism to our work, a narrative quality that leads the viewer into

3.1 THE BRAND

ood Earth is one of the few Indian Luxury retail brands, known for its home decor, lifestyle products and accessories. The brand celebrates the heritage of the Indian subcontinent and of surrounding areas across Asia by creating unique design stories.Their language revolves around the idea of using vibrant colours with subtle serenity to capture the essence of Indian style where opposites are contradictions coexist naturally and seamlessly. Anita Lal, founder and creative director believes that ‘‘true luxury is in the details of everyday living’’.

Good Earth is highly driven upon the values of sustainability; thus sustaining tradition, heritage and ecology is its core value, which is strongly reflected through their honest processes and visual expression. Unsurprisingly, Good Earth strongly works towards quality craftsmanship and the revival of lost Indian skills and manufacturing techniques. Good Earth has a strong market presence in most of the metro cities of India. The look and feel of each store is contemporary with natural simple materials to emote an effortless and relaxed environment ..not a studied and formal one... A feeling of relaxed luxury, warmth, intimacy... Indian, yet chic in a global style.

SHRIPAL SHAH, SPACE AND FURNITURE DESIGN

3.2 KEY VALUES

ne of the key driving points of the brand is its sensitivity towards ecological and socio cultural fragility. The brand’s merchandise and products are highly process driven by honest and clean manufacturing methods and techniques. The brand recognises good craftsmanship and much their work is a product of skilled and diminishing labour. Good Earth is one of the few leading brand the role of women in it’s system and gives a lot of importance to women-centric issues. The empowering role of women oriented labour and employment can be reflected through out the Good Earth system.

The brand vision is to maintain the ‘‘exquisitness’’ in each of their products and thus does not believe in mass manufacturing. The believe that each product should tell a story, and each story should take one on a journey. Thus, each year the product range [theme] is extremely driven by exhaustive research of the culture, motifs, processes and style.

“Crafted by hand, inspired by nature and enchanted by history. Each design has a story. Every story takes you on a journey.” - Simran Lal

SHRIPAL SHAH, SPACE AND FURNITURE DESIGN

CAMPAIGNING 3.3

ood Earth’s prime focus is to revive and celebrate the arts, crafts and culture of the Indian subcontinent. Thus, much of their campaigns are inspired by regions in India by their cultural significance. They explore the various facets of a perticular culture / region / concept and manifests it’s motis, processes and styles into a contemperory style. This adaptation of the style is replicated onto home textiles, tableware and home decor. However, certain range of products such as candles, spa ware, lamps, stemware etc remain largely generic in their form and are not influenced by the changing themes. The annual

‘design stories’ are launched around March, and the visual merchandise and campaigns run throughout the year before an annual clearance sale. The brand also endorses sister brands such as Malabar, Sustain, Raw Mango for their textile range, and Kama Ayurveda for their spa range.

3.7 CASE STUDY / KHAN MARKET / NEW DELHI

ood Earth’s Khan Market store is located on one of the most expensive retail space per sq ft. area in Asia. Having a total carpet area of 1200 sq ft, the challenge poised was simulating the experience of luxury into a very tight space. Lotus Design, plotted the store’s cicultation and layout based on Lucknow’s famous ‘‘Bhool Bhulaiya’’ - narrow winding street markets. Another major constrain apart from the small space, was the skewed plot shape and non-perpendicular position

of the structural members. This further helped in defining the zones and ciculation. The method of ‘‘deconstruction’’ was adapted, as the store was stripped from its plaster and original finishes to expose a bare and raw look of distressed brick and concrete. Simple PU coated ply and bison board was used for the shelving. The store dramatically started making sense to look ‘complete’ when colourful marchandise was displayed.

‘‘The making of Good Earth Khan Market - the biggest little shop ever! The most expensive retail space per sq ft in Asia. The most diverse luxury lifestyle product range in the country.  The smallest possible space to do it in - 1200 square feet of trapezoidal space littered with 6, randomly placed and randomly shaped columns.’’ -Lotus Design, New Delhi

3.7 CASE STUDY / U.B. CITY / BANGALORE

ood Earth opened it’s 5th store at Bangalore’s prime real estate locations in 2010. U.B City mall houses some of the most high end brands to be introduced in the country. The store is spread over 1400 sq ft. of carpet area, and has a liear and straightforward layout. The store is divided into 7 sections, split on either side with a passage in the middle. Since it was leased from the mall, not a lot of structural changes could be made in the store. However, the space is kept at its

bare minimum. Half the store has exposed conduiting, airconditioning ducts and track lighting. The slab above is painted black. The other half has a false ceiling coming at 8’ from the FFL. It is cladded with PU coated bison and has recessed downlighters. The storage and shelving are also made of polished exposed ply and bison board. The flooring is IPS to compliment the bright and elegant display of merchanfise. MS Jaali screens are hoisted to filter the store’s 2 glass windows.

complements the vision of ecological and social sustainance and the ‘Indian’’ness of GE’s visual language. The display of fragile and delicate merchandise against this raw set up creates subtle drama, without over shadowing the intricacy of the products.

3.9 SYNTHESIS

ood Earth has been established as a prominant luxury brand in the Indian home decor market. This market in India is thriving with competition as several enterprising brands in the mid range and high end range have been flourishing in the industry. As India’s spending capacity has increased three fold in the last decade, consumers are indulging in celebrated design and quality craftsmanship. Thus, the industry is booming, yet there is cut throat competition from Indian brands as well as luxury foreign brands establishing their presence in the Indian market.

‘‘Indian Luxury’’. Prior to that, luxury as a concept was heavily influenced from the western culture. Good Earth found an opportunity to celebrate [and capitalize] on the world reknowned Indian heritage and craftsmanship. Good Earth, however, instead of replicating the ‘‘Indian artifacts’’, translated these motifs, art and manufacturing techniques onto luxury products like Bone China, barware, lamps, candles and home textiles. 20 years later, this approach still sets Good Earth apart from its counterparts whose products do not reflect Indian culture, or whose design language is inclined towards being western contemperory.

There was a time when home decor and furnishings were either procured from local markets, handicraft exhibitions, travel souveniers or the few trusted local vendors. However, a consumer who is willing to spend, is spoilt by choice with luxury Indian brands like Good Earth, Oma, Address Home; as well as ultra high end designer labels such as The Home label, The Design Cell, The White Window etc. Good Earth’s first store opened in 1996 in Mumbai, and since then it has tapped the niche of

Each Good Earth store is designed as a response to the architectural built spaces. The store is designed to break the alienation between the consumer and ‘‘luxury’’ retail space. The design treats the tiny flaws in the space as design elements and intutively weave their display systems around it. The raw, organic approach of Good Earth allows its spaces to be rough around the corners, and reject the rules of flawless, clean and haphazardly beautified idea of design.

REDEFINED PROJECT BRIEF 3.10

To reinforce the market presence of the Indian luxury lifestyle brand, Good Earth, by designing its flagship store in Bangalore, in a way that celebrates their design philosophy and visual language.

4.1 CONCEPT APPROACH

Narrative To design a warm, intimate spatial experience for Good Earth, which dissolves the boundries between the merchandise and its environment, so the user walks through an indulgent story, and not just a retail outlet.

To create interesting experiences around the existing volumes Minimizing as many civil interventions as possible, and to incorporate the imperfections of the existing building into the design language and overall spatial experience.

Defining spaces, yet leaving room for intuitive rearrangements Zone out spaces and provide appropriate display systems for each category of products, however, keeping it modular enough to allow intuitive rearrangement of free standing display units, nesting tables and feature visual merchandising.

Translating the brand’s tagline ‘‘Stylish Sustainable Luxury Retail’’

To create a warm and intimate space with simple materials and layouting, however to not make the space like a thrift shop, an attic or an antique shop. To keep reinforcing the ‘‘luxury’’ value of the products through the space.

Stimulating experiences that reflect GE’s exhaustive design process

To bring out the skill and design sensitivity of the brand’s products through its display, highlights and propose general visual representation of the process and techniques.

SHRIPAL SHAH, SPACE AND FURNITURE DESIGN

To work with in the budget constrains

Minimising the costs by using recycled materials, reusing equipment from the UB city store & keeping the design straight forward in terms of fabrication, assembly & finishes.

Optimize the use of space and materials

To make the best possible use of the space given by maintaining the proportion of ‘‘used space’’ against the negative space, circulation areas feature corners. To procure and utilise recycled materials that enhance the store’s visual language and brand’s philosophy.

Complimenting Good Earth’s annual design stories To develop a space that is versitile enough to comply with the changing trends of Good Earth’s annual visual language.

Extending the shopping experience through F&B Hospitality To design an organic juice bar that enhances the shopping experiences, as well as create a social platform for impromptu music jam, story telling and brand sponsored events.

SHRIPAL SHAH, SPACE AND FURNITURE DESIGN

deation starts from studying the survey drawing and visualising possible space allocations as per client requirements. Structural constratins have to be considered before proposing and demolishing walls and/or existing structures. Rough zoning and assigning material specification simeltaneously brings value and hierarchy into the space before being tweaked by circulation and service areas.

4.8 CLIENT FEEDBACK

he initial response of the store layout was positive. We mutually froze on most of the zoning and circulation of the space, since due to the existing structures, much of it was obviously defined. We decided on demolishing a few walls on the rear of the structure to allow free circulation and ease of access. We also decided to include a few outdoor areas at the back into the retail space to accodomate sub brands such as gum drops and allocate generous space for visual merchandising. The initial estimate for the

structural changes and finishing of walls, floors and ceiling came up to 1,97,00,000 INR. The client insisted that we cut costs as the estimate was going beyong the stipulated budget. Thus, we stalled the idea of demolishing and finishing a few structures, including a staircase on the far right side of the property. The clients also insisted on retaining and upcycling as many existing elements on the property such as scrap wood and metal, by polishing / distressing them and using them instead of procuring new material.

he grid ceiling is generic to all Good Earth stores. It is basically a modular system of 4’’ x 4’’ MS section framework that is frabricated on site as per site conditions. A 3 x 3 grid is made per module. This ‘parent’ module houses the electrical conduiting and is suspended from 4’’ below the finished slab level. Each grid square further hosts 2 or 3 smaller modules using

either MS box section or wood [to be finalized]. The smaller module is frabiracted on site according to the dimensions of the parent module. The smaller module can be installed at any of the boxes within the parent module, and merchandise can be suspended from the hooks of the module. Proposed Daikin Cassette AC units are also installed using the structure of the parent unit.

5.5 LIGHTING DETAILS

ince the Good Earth store is shifting its location from UB City to the proposed site, the clients insisted on reusing as many equipments from the old store into the new one. Thus, we visited the old store and documented the type and number of lighting equipments used there. We then super imposed these equipments onto the propsoed lighting layout, so we could

save up on the cost of installing brand new lighting equipments wherever required. In the process of this documentation, we figured out how much light is required for each function, and what kind of a lighting effect is used in what space. We also made a note of all the loose furniture that we could finish and utilize in the new store.

e decided to demolish the existing metal service staircase runing parallel to the main staircase, and create an interesting play of levels as a platform for visual merchandising. This would mainly be used to display GEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home textiles and apparels. The structure would be made up on 15mm ply on

a mangowood frame structure, and would be cladded with distressed finished wood. This could later be covered with mal and satin fabric for display purposes. Proposed GEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconic bamboo hanging rods will be suspeded from the channels running from the false ceiling.

SHRIPAL SHAH, SPACE AND FURNITURE DESIGN

he language of the toilets was similar to the overall feel of the Good Earth store. We used exposed cocrete and other distressed materials, set against glossy white and chrome plated toilet fixtures. However, we had to tone down the degree to which we emulate the ‘‘raw’’ look due to the compressed volume of the space. We did not want to grey and matte tones to supress

the overall joy of the place. Plus, we had to hold on to the ‘‘classiness’ of the space. Thus we decided to introduce some luster in the space by having a distressed amber mirror as a counter top for the vanity cabinet. We also proposed to introduce some colour onto one feature wall with accent lighting. The entire plumbing of the bathroom has to be changed.

6.3 RETROSPECT

nterning at Khosla Associates has been a very enriching experience for me. The six months were intense in producing quality outputs on a tight schedule. However, being involved in a project since its inception, exposed me to various parameters of designing. As my senior at Khoslas rightly put, ‘‘Designing is the easiest part. What is difficult is everything that follows...’’. I feel I got really lucky with the time frame that I joined the studio. One of the seniors above me was about to leave, and so the hierarchy scattered drastically. I was given responsibilities that were not expected out of fellow interns. I was involved with the ideation; I was directly accountable for all the concept development and tender drawings (which accounted to a tedious part of the process). I was answerable for any misleadings and clarifications. Having being trusted with such responsibilities, I was extremely aware of the position that I entitled and that I was ‘‘representing’’ Khosla Associates. So I could not afford to make mistakes. Initially this task was overwhelming and intimidating. However, over time it made me realize my potential of producing work under pressure and the kind of metacognitive skills which I never knew I had.

169

There were many latent processes and skills that I picked up from being in the work environment, that I now realize as an independant designer. Right from setting the appropriate print settings, to moderating client-contractor meetings, taking copious notes for the Minutes of meetings, to conducting site visits, and approving paint samples, I feel like I have come a long way into realizing what all goes beyond the visible in a ‘well done space’. I also realized the importance of simplicity in communication, when it came to detail drawings. Sandeep believed that the drawings should be simple enough to effectively articulate the design/ detail even to a mason. Complexity in drawings could only result in distorted communication and differences on site. Lastly, I was glad to be a part of an award winning design practice and work directly under one of the most influential architects of modern India. It is amazing to understand the design process of such an establishment. In retrospect, I feel like I just happened to be in the right place at the right time...
