*An Indian By Design Exclusive*
Rajiv Majumdar’s 450 sq ft apartment had just enough space for his 6 foot 4 frame, his guitars, books and speakers. Though it did have its plus points. Enough light from a long balcony and enough freedom to break down all the walls as the flat belonged to his mother.
The first thing he did was break a few walls – the kitchen, the balcony, the bathroom and the bedroom. Then set up a fully equipped kitchenette with a sliding mirror door that shut when not in use, which is almost always (I did suggest he dismantle it and set up a phone, for takeaway).
The Living (he designed everything including that big comfortable bench and the delightful rug, except for, of course, the ‘insert drumroll here’ Eames Chair)
The Dining (Love the Orange school chairs)
The Kitchenette
The industrial metal pipe four poster
The sliding door bathroom with a Vespa seperator.
The steel bucket sink
The Wardrobe against the window
The plan

Subu, you have a lovely home. Any house that serves monster portions of pork chops gets two thumbs up!
Love the use of light and space, makes it look fab anothe one to check out is model turned interior designer Fleur Xavier’s design for a house in Bandra….simply fab

Landed on this blog through IndiBlogger links, and cherish the content here. This very post depicting one Rajiv’s 450sft remodeled flat is simply awesome… not to forget the blog author’s/ owner’s photography skills.
It simply doesn’t look like a 450 sft flat. Nice planning and execution of the idea.
One request, (please believe, its not for the sake of a posting only), can we mention about this post on our blog with a brief excerpt and note about it so as to share the good work and nice idea and planning with our readers too.
Thanks.
(for Team B-n-M)
