The project

Set within a heritage building on Rampart Road in Kala Ghoda, this law office pairs the character of an old South Mumbai address with a distinctly contemporary sensibility. Flooded with natural light, it frames striking views of the dome of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya.

Yayoi Kusama’s immersive world became the unlikely inspiration for the conference room, where her signature polka dots create an exuberant, almost surreal backdrop. The rest of the room is deliberately restrained—beige carpet, understated furniture and simple spherical lights—allowing the pattern to take centre stage.

Elsewhere, colour appears in unexpected moments: a vivid green library conceals flashes of red and white, while eclectic pieces add further layers of surprise.
