When we took over the Kingfisher Mumbai project, the building was in a dilapidated state. With ceiling height of seven feet and a structure that could not be demolished, we were given the daunting task of converting this guest house into Dr Vijay Mallya's (MD, Kingfisher) corporate office. Since the façade could not be touched we did structural glazing on it and added steel 'fins' - a representation of the line of business. After having provided a brand-new look to the exterior, we took over the interiors and redefined it with clean, straight lines. Since low ceiling height was a hindrance, we divided the ground floor into lower and upper ground floor. The basement currently contains a swish cafeteria and the first floor has been converted into the MD's office. The liberal use of glass, mirrors, lighting and the colour white have given the space a non-cluttered, elegant look.
