Use of Saint Gobain Glass on cupboards

Almost a decade ago, in a flat whose cupboards I got to design, I had ventured to use Saint Gobain glass on the cupboard panels. Above here, I have used yellow and combined them with a striped laminate. The sunny room was brightened even further with this play of colors.

Here the black is Saint Gobain glass. The picture doesn't do justice, unfortunately. It did actually look quite dramatic.

Finger jointed wood, though as expensive as OST-One Sided Teak, has been used for the kitchen.

Here too the cream is a cream-colored Saint Gobain glass which combined pleasantly with beige laminates.

This experimental work has stood the test of time, as even a decade later, in spite of rough use, neither has the glass cracked or come off. 

 

Refurbished Container Design



An 20'x 8'shipping container has been refurbished to form a space for a support group that needed a small indoor space along with outdoor area. The land, formerly am unkempt garden, was redesigned, an old indian toilet  revamped, the whole area paved to create a place where flexible events can take place of all types. The center is support for Special needs families and alzeimers patients and care-givers.

This is a work in progress, an out door kitchen will be added soon.

 

These are the pictures of the open Café that will work on weekends to train Special children and adults in various roles of running a restaurant.

 

 

 

 

 

Toilet Renovation

After a long hiatus, picked up my architectural shoes and redid an old toilet, with a much needed glass screen. Tiles are imported from Spain and have a Moroccan carpet pattern. A niche to tuck away the laundry basket, another to stock the toiletries are some special features.

A wonderful wave-like embossed tile in white acts as a good counterfoil to the other busy walls.

Interior ReHauling

In these images one sees an apartment where walls and partitions had earlier made a space look cramped and dark.By converting a bedroom into an open kitchen with a window into the dining area and opening up a window in the drawing to create a small balcony-the entire drawing- dining area has received an enoromous facelift. The verandah leading from the dining also has the entire wall turned to a glass wall with sliding doors which has made it look airy and spacious. Use of minimal cabinetry and maximum openess has given a sense of lightness to this space.
