The interplay of the illuminated interior against the darkened exterior creates a captivating effect that highlights the building's unique architecture and adds a touch of glamour to the city's skyline.

We are thrilled to share with you some images of our recently completed office for Shanti Instruments in Andheri MIDC, Mumbai. Our team had the privilege of working in collaboration with Arun Kabre Sir, to create a modern workspace based on the principles of minimalism and sophistication. Our main goal was to design an office that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional, providing a productive and inspiring office environment!

Throughout the design process, we focused on incorporating clean lines, simple forms, and neutral colors to achieve a sleek and timeless look. The result is a workspace that exudes an air of professionalism, while promoting a sense of calm and focus. Some other key features of the space are the open floor plan, and abundant natural light!

We hope you enjoy viewing the images as much as we enjoyed bringing this project to life.

Our take on the concept of 'liveable homes'!

Last year we got an opportunity to propose interventions for a few junctions in Mumbai.

Home is not a place, it's a feeling! And it was the want for this feeling that made the Rathi's decide to approach U+Collective for redesigning their landscape.
A complete change of location of the entrance to the property meant re-orienting the driveway, parking, lawn and access to the house. All without any changes in the house itself.
A designated drop-off, cozy pavilion, rolling party lawn were few of the features that were built into the newly carved spaces. All of this enveloped in a variety of flora, water bodies and sculptures add to the ambience of the garden, giving it the feel of your very own garden of Eden or tropical paradise.

Refurbishing someone's 'live' house is always a very personal affair. As a designer, you almost always tend to become one with the family to know that the mother is cleanliness enthusiast to where does the son finds solace to read. We were fortunate to have got such an opportunity to be a part of this family.
A part of us architects wants to make significant changes to the space, so as to showcase a stark difference in the 'before & after' photos of the space. However, at U+ Collective we want that the family feels the same warmth and comfort while getting a whole new reinvigorated spatial experience.
Less is more is the vibe we felt that matched not just this house but also the family. An elegant false ceiling that not only fills the living room with intricacy and intimacy but at the same time also demarcates the corridor space from the entry.
The ample ambient lighting and the Chester sofa just added to the simple charm of this space.
The bold blue high chairs contrasting against the pristine white and gold of the house has indeed made it a visual focal point around which most activities of this room revolve.

Ever reminisced those childhood days where you would play on the lawn for hours, thoroughly spent but happy? That is the feeling our client wanted to recreate when he set out to make the first football turf in Belgaum.
Set amidst serene surroundings and nestled in one of the bylanes of Belgaum, the simple yet rugged design of The Pitch is designed to allow you to have your space to let your inhibitions down and just play.
The box-like structure and functional zoning are in line with the principles of an athlete - being disciplined and focused.
For a building to exist but in a manner so as not to restrain the sporting spirit is the true testimony of the design of the space.

In times of social isolation here's the little bit of green to cheer you up for the day. ;)

New beginnings are always special, and we at U+ Collective know just how much. When this young dentist couple, approached us for designing their Maxillofacial and Periodontal Surgery Clinic, we knew just how special it was.
Transforming a space is always a tougher challenge than designing a new one from the ground up. We are pleased to showcase the complete turnaround that we managed to achieve for our client in creating a space that not only fulfills all the functional requirements of a clinic but also matches the vibrancy, dynamism, and professionalism that is inherent in the ethos of these two young doctors.

The open and welcoming reception, interconnected consultancy and operatory and the corridor which binds it all together making the space light and breezy, makes it stand out against the rest of the building. We wish this transformed space brings in loads of positive energy and vibes that also fuel growth for the young clinic.

A street development initiative that has transformed a Nashik industrial area and it's surroundings from a rustic, dusty one-lane thoroughfare into a planned urban street with amenities such as street lights, drainage, sidewalks, parking, access ramps, etc. Converting our industrial streetscapes into urbanscapes is at the core of our urban transformation efforts at U+Collective and we would like to thank visionary clients such as Macks Surface Treatments Pvt. Ltd. for spearheading such an innovative transformative movement.

"Design for all" - is not just a concept, but a conviction that we practice in all our designs at U+ Collective.
We are pleased that our thoughts are so well articulated in this article in Femina (August Edition).
