Nestled in the bustling heart of Bandra, Mumbai, the Manikarnika Films Studio's office, designed by Shabnam Gupta of The Orange Lane, transcends the traditional notion of a production house.

Envisioned as a sanctuary rather than just a workspace, this studio design, spread across three expansive floors, embodies a Zen-like serenity where the boundaries between indoors and outdoors seamlessly dissolve. The beloved Bollywood actor behind this project sought a space that would eschew Bollywood clichés, opting instead for an environment that fosters creativity and tranquillity.

STUDIO DESIGN WITH AN INVITING ENTRANCE

The journey into this extraordinary space begins through a verdant gate, revealing a spacious, partially alfresco area. Here, the soothing burble of a water feature mingles with the rustle of leaves, creating a serene ambience.

Under the shade of trees, a coffee bar and open café invite moments of relaxation and reflection. The area is imbued with drama through a clever interplay of textures, natural light, and stunning materials, establishing an unconventional yet inviting office atmosphere.
