Zarir Mullan Architect & Interior Designer

Zarir Mullan Architect & Interior Designer is located in the Pwp Office Building over in Mahim. We are right opposite the Mahim Causeway, so we get to see all the traffic moving between the island city and the suburbs. It is a noisy spot, but it keeps us feeling like we are in the middle of everything. Inside the office, things are usually a bit chaotic with fabric samples, wood chips, and sketches scattered around. Designing interiors is mostly about trying to fit a lot of stuff into small Mumbai flats, which is always a puzzle. We spend a lot of time measuring things twice and then realizing the wall isn't actually straight. That's just how buildings are here. I spend a lot of my day talking to carpenters and painters, making sure they understand the drawings. Sometimes we go out to the timber markets or the hardware shops to pick out handles and hinges. Mahim is a great place to be because we can get to South Bombay or the North fairly easily, assuming the Causeway isn't too jammed up. We don't really have a sales team or anything like that. People usually find us because they saw a place we worked on or someone told them we do decent work. We just keep our heads down and try to make spaces look a bit better than they did when we first found them.
