seeking inspiration from elements of nature, Sun, Water, Earth and Air.

Selected Projects Jan. 2003 – Present

Category 1: Architecture and Interiors

Beach Hut,1050 sft, Sandspit

o The site had the advantage of dual views, mangroves on one side and the

ocean on the other. The materials selected were inspired by the boats

and fishermen‟s villages in the vicinity. The colours were inspired by the

sand and seashells. The mood is serene and contemplative.

Category 11: Interiors

Interior of a restaurant: Elbow Room Restaurant, Chundrigarh Rd.

o Located in the old city area in the „Writers Chambers‟ building; it was an

opportunity to recreate the past, memories of coffee houses and reading

rooms. The project can be described as an adaptive reuse project

Interior of an office: Crosby Asset Management, PRC Towers.

o The interior is distinct from an instinctively western

response to interiors for financial institutes. Drawing

references from the Asian south eastern culture, Design

Options created a rich palette of fabrics, colours and

textures that communicated not only the culture but values

of generosity, warmth and hospitality.
