Location
Fort, Mumbai
Scope
Workplace
Extent
400 sq ft

The department works in one room. Thirteen workstations sit in clusters, each with a timber return and a screen for focus. Black-framed glass encloses a cabin without cutting it off.

Linear lights hang below the exposed ceiling, aligned to the desks they serve. Power and light were drawn with the furniture, so every point falls where it is needed.
