Resurrections & Renovation
Home Review|October 2018

In order to cope with the growing needs of a design firm, this studio space was renovated utilising the combined space of two existing penthouses and dealing with all the limitations that came with it.

Resurrections & Renovation

The studio, a home project for the team at Studio Saransh, headed by Malini and Manish Doshi, is housed in a relatively old building. The studio needed to be planned around the existing limitations of the two penthouses on the top floor. “Located on the fourth floor in a relatively old residential building, the two penthouses were used as an architectural office and a residence, having undergone multiple renovations over the years.”

Renovations are trickier than new designbuilds given the umpteen restrictions that come with the existing facility. Keeping in mind the requirement for a growing studio strength, the design team executed a scheme where an open floor plan took lead for a robust and clean format. Highlighting the process, the team explained “Originally, each apartment consisted of three bedrooms, dining and living spaces, a kitchen and three bathrooms.

The existing premise was stripped bare and rebuilt with minimal transparent partitions, barring the reception area at the entrance. This was a conscious decision to allow everyone working in this space to know what is happening across the studio always. Major structural changes were not practical, which ruled out altering the walls or openings too drastically.”
