Kickin' the blues...

Taking a break from hospitality projects, interior designer Minnie Bhatt turns her attention to a media office And Beyond Media in Mumbai. While quirky and energetic, as one would expect of a workspace in such a creative industry, it showcases a definite, individualistic personality that sets it apart.

How often do you come across an office space that is bathed in natural light and is spacious despite its dense programme, especially in a city like Mumbai? The new office of And Beyond Media, located in the packed suburb of Andheri, is one such pleasant aberration. It's the kind of space you’d look forward to heading to despite the manic traffic or Monday blues. And the person responsible for such an inspiring space? None other than interior designer Minnie Bhatt who heads Mumbai-based Minnie Bhatt Designs.

Though Minnie is known for her hospitality projects, she has proved that her passion for good design can encompass diverse programs. “We have designed close to 50 restaurants and bars, and wanted to explore projects in other sectors too. We had worked on a corporate office almost two years ago and this project came across as an unconventional and younger space, which is what interested and prompted us to take it up,” shares the designer.
