The office space has upholstered velvet walls and brass inlays. The office table has brass metal legs and designed to impress.

7th floor has the house which has 1 bedroom kitchen and a living. The elevator opens into a beautiful courtyard where there is a brilliant play of light between the rafters which we made to bring in the exterior into our interior spaces. The courtyard also has the pooja which is very indo-western to give it a traditional touch. The main entrance has brass in lay with a pop of colour before you enter the house. The bedroom has a 22’ long window which was treated as an ornament of the room. Standing at the window you will get a view of the main temple gopuram hence we decided to retain the size of the window.
