KHAADI, HYDERABAD
Area = 7600 sqft
Completed in July 2018The Hyderabad store consisted of low ceilings and small internal grids; making designing a tough call; however, retained the stone wall in the double height space; and keeping it as the center of the store, designed around it. The exterior façade was designed keeping the rough elements of the busy commercial area; with bright sun and rising dust being permanent features.

DESI GALI – KARACHI
Area = 3000 sqft
Completed in April 2019The design concept of the “Kanteen” was derived from the word “clutter” and the same time having a strong association with the khaadi brand identity. It was a fast-paced project; and the execution on site started less than three weeks after the plan was approved.
