INTRODUCTION -

South Bombay is India’s leading art district that exudes a character with a flair for the contemporary. The area
is an expanse of culture and heritage with a style of – Neo-Classical, Gothic, Victorian, Art Deco etc.
The space of studio, which was a heritage structure, was acquired with the windows boarded up, wooden
trusses braced with metal and brick walls segregating different zones.
Located along the Heritage Mile of SoBo, on the 4th floor of a 100-year-old Victorian era building, the studio
space explores the structural integrity of the heritage structure. The idea of unearthing and discovering,
rather than a set mandatory approach, was adopted not only to respect, retain and celebrate the spirit of the
place but also respond to the myriad experiences the space could possibly offer.
