Pravin Kanekar Architect Interior Designer

You can find us at Office No 3 in the Vaikhari building, right on Puna Bombay Market Road near Puna Gam in Vile Parle East. This area is always buzzing with activity, which we like. Pravin Kanekar handles the architectural side of things, and we do interior design work too. It’s a small, local office where we handle projects from the ground up. We’ve been here in Vile Parle for years, so we’ve gotten to know the local rhythms and the people who live and work here. Our office is a bit of a hub for people who are looking to change their living or working space. It’s not a fancy studio with high-end art on the walls. Instead, it’s full of swatches, lighting samples, and half-drawn floor plans. Being practical about design is just how we do things. A house has to be lived in, and an office has to be worked in, so we focus on making spaces that actually work. We spend a lot of time on the phone with contractors or visiting sites to make sure the tiles are being laid straight. It’s a lot of coordination and checking on small details. People come to us because they want someone who knows the area and can give them a straight answer about what’s possible. We aren't trying to be the biggest firm in Mumbai, just a good one for our neighbors here in the East. Sometimes things get a bit chaotic with several projects going at once, but we manage to keep everything on track. We like it.
