Matrika Design Collaborative

Matrika Design Collaborative is based over in Andheri East, specifically in the A Wing of Poonam Darshan. We are right on Mahakali Caves Road in the Poonam Nagar area. Mumbai is a fast-paced place, and being in Andheri means we are right in the thick of it. Our office is a collaborative space, which basically means a few of us sit together and bounce ideas around until something works. We don't have a rigid hierarchy or anything like that. We just focus on design and how it fits into the city. The neighborhood is pretty lively, with a lot of people living and working nearby. You can hear the traffic and the life of Mahakali Caves Road from our windows. We've been here for a while and have seen the area change over the years. Our work is straightforward. We take on projects that interest us and try to do them justice. Sometimes we are working on small residential interiors, and other times it is something a bit bigger. We use a lot of physical models and sketches because we like to see things in 3D before they get built. It is a bit messy with all the cardboard and glue around, but it helps us think through problems. We aren't into big corporate presentations. We'd rather just sit down with a cup of tea and talk through a plan. If you're in Poonam Nagar, you've probably walked past our building many times without realizing we are here. We like the quiet focus our office provides.
