Our small design space is tucked away in Bandra East. Everyone always talks about Bandra West, but the East side has its own character and it’s where we feel most at home. It’s quite a busy part of Mumbai, and being near the station means there is always a crowd of people moving around outside. The office isn't very large, so we have to be smart about how we use the space. We have sketches pinned to the walls and samples of materials lying around on the tables. It gets a bit messy sometimes, but that’s just how we work when we are in the middle of a project. The sound of the local trains is something you just get used to after a few days. We usually grab lunch from one of the many stalls nearby or bring something from home to eat quickly at our desks. There’s no big fancy sign on the door, just a small nameplate. We like the fact that it’s a bit hidden away. It’s a creative space for us where we can just focus without too much corporate noise. Most of the people working here live nearby, so we have a good feel for the local area. It’s a practical setup and it suits the kind of work we do. We don't spend money on expensive decor because we'd rather just have good equipment and a comfortable chair.
