The NRA Design Studio, located in Boisar, Maharashtra, is strategically positioned for easy access to the city’s developing zones, as well as the railway station and bus stand. The studio is housed within a former 1BHK apartment, transformed into a thoughtfully designed workspace that embodies minimalism, functionality, and openness.

The studio layout includes a discussion area, an architect’s cabin, a material library, a compact pantry, and a washroom—each space meticulously planned to enhance efficiency while maintaining a warm and inviting atmosphere. Natural light floods the studio throughout the day, creating a fresh and positive work environment.

All furniture, except for the chairs, was custom-built on-site, including the wooden table legs and organically shaped tabletops. A neutral color palette was chosen to maximize spatial perception while accentuating key design details. Beige walls and a white ceiling add warmth, while earthy grey flooring with a leather-textured finish complements the overall aesthetic. The architect’s cabin is distinguished by wooden flooring, subtly enhancing its identity within the studio.

Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a striking material display unit, setting the tone for the studio’s contemporary and elegant aesthetic. A blend of wood, metal, and neutral tones defines the space, while a centrally placed discussion table fosters collaboration and interaction. Overhead storage integrates seamlessly into the design, maintaining a cohesive and uncluttered look.

A pop of turquoise blue in the furniture and guest chairs introduces vibrancy, adding a dynamic yet sophisticated touch. Behind the material display, a compact yet efficient pantry is discreetly positioned, finished in turquoise and grey tones to blend harmoniously with the studio’s design.

Designed for both functionality and aesthetic appeal, the NRA Design Studio is a testament to minimalism, offering a well-balanced, inspiring workspace that reflects the essence of an architect’s creative environment.
