01
NISARGA (RESIDENTIAL DESIGN)
Coming from the concept of a tree house, the residence revolves around a tree and gives a essence of the connection with nature. The design is based on abstract angles, making the residence a complete interactive discovery from the outside and inside implementing a surprise element at every angle and turn. The effect of the courtyard and the connection between the spaces to the outside makes the experience even more interesting.
Brass frame in the form of a branched out tree, to add in to the metal accents in the space.
Wooden False ceiling with patterned mural recessed into it, with a longitudinal crystal chandelier.

THE WISHING CHAIR

Retail design (SEM IV)
• •
The concept for the retail store is derived from the animated series of the book “The Wishing Chair” by Enid Blyton, on which the brand is based. The goal is to re-create a few elements from the book and incorporate them into a make believe, whimsical ‘Streets of London’,and get the customers to reminisce their childhood.
GROUND FLOOR PLAN
The molding is adopted from the series to enhance the whimsical aesthetic.
• Two different kinds of flooring is used in the retail space to create an illusion of a street. The Kitchen & dining merchandise shelf has pastel coloured stripes as backdrop to imitate one of the elements from the series.
• Inter-lockable tiles with cobblestone like appearance are used for the aisles.
SECTION AA’
Faux tree to display hanging planters.

MISCELLANEOUS (STORE FAÇADE DESIGN) • •
The proposed store front design is for the brand ‘Chumbak’. The principle of the brand is to ‘make happy’ and the quintessential element of the brand is the vibrant blend of bright colors.
The bright chevron pattern is another key feature of the brand, and is used as the background for the signage.
The owl is very elemental to the concept of the brand. Hence, the projection of the same is the key feature of the storefront.
The brick cladding used at the entrance, and the textured wood cladding used at the window display neutralizes the bright pops of colour of the rest of the design.
