Atelier Kitchen Boulevard Privatelimited

Our place is tucked away in Charkop, specifically in the Ravi Kiran society in Sector 4. Kandivali West is a crowded area so finding Plot No 216 can be a bit of a challenge if the traffic is bad. We’ve been working out of this spot for a while, dealing with kitchen setups and all the small details that go into a home. It’s mostly just us and the local contractors coming in and out. The walls are lined with different finishes and handle types. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that, just a few people who understand how a kitchen actually gets used. It gets noisy when we are cutting things or moving heavy boards around. Sometimes a customer comes in with a photo from a magazine and we have to explain why that might not fit in a standard Mumbai apartment. We try to be honest about what works and what’s just going to be a headache later. Most of our day is spent on the phone with suppliers or checking if the hinges arrived on time. It’s a lot of logistical stuff that people don’t see. We like being in Charkop, it feels like a real neighborhood where everyone knows the local shops. Sometimes the monsoon rains make the walk from the station a bit of a mess, but we're used to it. The shop is small, so we have to be very organized with where we put things, otherwise, we’d never find the right screws or handles for the cabinets we are building.
