"We often get attached
to some spaces.
Spaces that light our
souls, adds a piece of
furniture to our life and
that,which creates an
experience!"
" Some
experiences start from a
thread that forms a
cloth, a stitch that
creates a product, a
print that takes a
pattern, and a dye that
is dyeing to dye!"

3. RE-DESIGNING
FITNESS
The idea was to re-design the existing
gym.
I incorporated the elements of light and
color, in reference with the existing body
color chakras,
I have divided the space with areas of
workout. Every space is partitioned with
different color and exercises.

WHAT I LEARNT
I think learning and re-designing spaces for the people with disability made me more and
more aware about spaces around me, I started to think in terms of people with disability at
every space i walked in, which most of the people fail to understand.
It made me more observant and gave me a new skill to work with.

WHAT I LEARNT
Lighting is something which has always fascinated me, I learned a
lot about different light fixtures, types of lighting, and
experimented in tons to make one of my own light fixtures.
From how to measure light to how much output light gives, to
getting awared about which lamp is more efficient.
It was one of the best learnings.
