Restaurant Design
Name: The Octagon
Brief: The project was to design a restaurant of any form of 5000 sq ft which would be based on a water body.
Location: Bandra Talao, Mumbai, India.
Sq ft Area: 5000 sq ft
Concept: The main aim of building or designing this restaurant was the site, a water bed. I have taken my inspiration from a flower, using its centre an octagon as my centre and its petals as boats for private dining. The centre is used as the main dining area which also consists of the reception, waiting area, kitchen, and a bar and various other amenities.
All the tables are put up in such a manner that there is enough space between two tables to move around. The three boats are private dining areas for families and the boats are all immobile and each boat has a foundation of its own to stay stagnant. The entrance has a waiting area. The bar is at the centre of the restaurant.

Office Design
Name: Office Workstation
Brief: I had to make a potable workstation for a media office based on the dimensions of a suitcase.
Location: Hi! Life Mall, Santa Cruz(w)
Sq ft Area:2262 sq.ft.
Concept: My main aim was to show portability and comfort for the user. I used the mechanism of a scissor as my inspiration. In the suitcase I have made I have a table, a chair, 2 shelves, and a screen for privacy. The design is made suitable for a media office and is a compact workstation.
Step 1: Foldable Chair
Step 2: Two shelves on each side of the workstation for storage.
Step 3: Collapsible Table.
Step 4: A screen for privacy.
Retail Design
Name: Apple Inc.
Brief: The project was to design the first retail store for the company Apple Inc. in India.
Location: lower parel, Mumbai, India.
Sq ft Area: 5962 sq ft
Concept: My main concept was to give the store a very Indian feel as its one of the first store in India. I have added cycle rickshaws as my element for India. The rickshaws are all mobile and are a way of getting product information through screens inside the rickshaw.
- Plan
The retail store has a conference room, one billing desk, one product viewing desk, one customer care desk, a cafeteria, two restrooms, a conference room and a storage area.
- Rickshaw
My aim was to show product information through the rickshaw. All the rickshaws are mobile and the amount of rickshaws can be increased as per needed.
