Office for the German Company Dr. Oetker in Mumbai
The German company Dr. Oetker rented a fully open office-space of ca.880 sqft in Mumbai. All partitions had to be designed to meet the demand of working places and according to Feng Shui. The company wanted to implement Feng Shui for their success in business, but it “should not be seen”.

Following the principles of Feng Shui mostly rounded ...
Sufi Yogahall in Pune
This client, himself a Sufi-Yoga-Master, wanted this hall, which was formerly used for storage of a restaurant, converted to his Yogahall. As he derives from the Sufi lineage, he wanted this hall designed in Sufi style. Domes are one of the favourite shapes in Sufism, so they should be included as the main theme of the hall. From his former restaurant he brought oriental accessories (hanging lamps and oil lamps) which he collected from all over India to be implemented in the design. [caption id="attachment_270" align="aligncenter" width="573" caption="Two big dome niches in the back wall and smaller diamond shaped and square sized ...
Sunshine Bungalow – Roof Terrace in the style of “1001 Nights”

In order beautify the plain "chatais' saris were draped on the ceiling and walls, which provide snug feeling and gives the opportunity to implement Feng Shui by using right the colours for the directions. Lots and lots of cushions, bolsters, mats ...
Sunshine Bungalow – Livingroom
The livingroom was formally used as a tailoring-studio, but now it regained its origin possession as the drawing-room. The largest room of the bungalow with the most windows deserves to be the middle-point as it also gives the access to the roof terrace, which provides additional "open air" dining hall and a recreation center. The area of the most activity accommodates also a small home-office as it is better to work it in the hall than in the bedroom, which should be reserved for resting rather than working. [caption id="attachment_120" align="alignleft" width="200" caption="before, the tailoring-studio was designed practical."][/caption] [caption id="attachment_121" align="alignleft" width="330" ...
Sunshine Bungalow – Bathroom
In Feng Shui the bathrooms are considered as the drains of energy; money and good energy easily can be flushed away. Therefore its necessary, that the bathroom doors are always shut and the toilet lid is always closed. Additionally we work with the colour-scheme, that will diminish the negative effect of the bathrooms.
