The document describes three interior design projects: a chocolate shop called Chocolate Corner, a high-rise apartment called Highland, and a single-level residential flat called Atlantis. For Chocolate Corner, glass and lighting were used to create an attractive display area. Highland featured divided family spaces and minimalist aesthetics. Atlantis was designed for an older couple based on British colonial architecture, with modifications like a home theater and master bedroom lounge.

2. A little shop located in the center of the city, selling various kind of chocolates all over the world-nicely presented.
The use of material Glass was the ideal solution when light is at a premium. The glass staircase add an air of exclusivity and design elegance. The sleek
look and the clean lines of the glass steps created a look that got noticed. When glass was combined with stainless steel fittings it created a walkway
connecting the two levels.
The proper use of light in the display area made it very live and attractive.

3. At
the
core
of
this
apartment
design
lies
the
principle
of
Human-­‐conscious
space
management.
By
neatly
balancing
occupied
areas
with
the
space
for
movement
–
while
taking
care
of
the
aesthe5c
benchmarks
decided
at
planning
stage
–
this
apartment
was
designed
to
obtain
the
look
of
a
‘compact
infinity’
for
its
occupants.
For
a
sizeable
Indian
family,
it
was
essen5al
to
have
privacy
of
each
member
without
sacrificing
the
visual
connec5on.
Hence,
the
‘square
family
spaces’
(kitchen,
dining,
living)
were
divided
into
2
rectangles
by
a
low
height
par55on
to
define
circula5on
as
well
as
to
maintain
visual
access.
On
macro
level,
the
apartment
height
was
aligned
with
the
length
by
a
maintained
ra5o
through
keeping
the
ceiling
design
minimum.
Certain
openings
were
cut
down
to
maintain
the
opening
ra5o
while
grooves
were
used
to
define
or
differen5ate
spaces
by
using
aesthe5cally
appealing
elements
like
grou5ng
in
5les,
ceiling
etc.
A
transcendental
sort
of
component,
the
buffer
spaces
like
foyers
and
study
were
created
before
bedrooms
which
acted
as
intervals
between
two
different
5mes
and
spaces
for
the
occupants
of
the
apartment.
Accentua5ng
the
central
shade
of
white,
other
surface
make-­‐up
like
laminates
or
color
of
furniture
was
kept
to
maintain
minimalist
look.
Add-­‐on
elements
like
pain5ngs
and
wall
paper
were
kept
in
tandem
with
the
en5re
aesthe5c
to
give
a
holis5c
visual
iden5ty.

This is a single-level residential flat covering an area of 3740 sq ft.. The interior of the house was under taken for the old age couple. The house is based
on the British colonial architectural theme. The house has low ceiling height, and still meeting the client’s requirements: centrally HVAC system with
minimum false ceiling levels, was the major botheration.
The clients requirements were a home theatre and a master bedroom with a lounge, to achieve these requirements major civil change were made like
merging of two bedrooms etc.
