Areas of inspiration through the design flow with an apt backdrop that enhances nostalgia in expression of the Man at work from a black and white picture of a producer at work, oblivious to all but his focus on a movie being produced.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The story started with the designer guiding his client round every part of the site as part of a proactive design briefing session. Together, they establish various points of the Man personal comfort zones at work, relaxation, entertainment and spiritual needs. So specific was the client attention to personalised details that all required from the designer is the gift to transform The Man thoughts and vision of the man to forms and surfaces within a wholesome concept. This flow is best expressed in the spiral staircase that leads to his personal studio and wine bar for entertainment.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The understanding of Manoj Punjabi was never through the normal processes of a design brief but a progressive appreciation of his persona, his needs and eccentricities expected from any successful creative entrepreneur as the project progressed from the initial brief to the final flower arrangement and plant in place at completion of the project. With brilliant creative clients, research and results arrived at can, often, be only abstract. How close designer can get to appropriate interpretation in forms and surfaces can only be discovered after they are completed. But, by grace, we made it.
CHALLENGE: So passionate was the Man and his spouse together with the designer and his team in playing also the project managers during every critical part of the project progressed, many were the variations along the way.
This is, indeed, a project the result of intimate collaboration between the Man and designer.
