MIND MANIFESTATION

Mind Manifestation’s 1,200sqft studio in Pune, situated near a hill, comes together as a response to its surrounding natural context and climatic conditions. Founders Anand Deshmukh and Chetan Lahoti conceived a design language that is underpinned by subtle yet compelling material applications, complemented by a nature-inspired colour palette.

On the southern side, the architects devised a brick jali for the façade. “This aids in converting the harsh southern sunrays into a cool breeze before filtering into the indoor areas,” they say. The interiors are open, airy and clutter-free, with glass partitions used strategically to demarcate functions. Corners and edges are curved in certain areas, a discreet gesture that softens the visual perception of the space which is otherwise defined by its rectilinear framework.

The material palette creates a serene, inspiring working environment. In-situ concrete flooring and brick paving are paired with walls and the ceiling finished in pastel green lime putty. This palette lends a toned-down backdrop to the furniture crafted out of ash wood. Recycled paper tubes are used to create operable shutters, open shelves and seating backrests, with customised details.

Exploring diverse and innovative material applications forms the crux of Mind Manifestation’s practice and this reflects in the way their own workspace has been conceptualised and executed.
