Open Atelier Mumbai

Open Atelier Mumbai is a new space with urban ideology and methodology. Founder Principal Architect, Rahul Mistri, thinks, rationalizes and designs keeping in mind urban necessities and the changing world. OA Mumbai is a studio that is a diligent worker as well as a diligent student. It is always open to new, fresh ideas that would give modern architecture a whole new meaning. Every project is handled by a highly qualified team whose aim is to create a space that is unique in not only its style, decor and look, but also in its understanding and identity. They combine various forces of expertise from 3D fabrication, material applications and branding to create a cohesive design methodology. Working across this wide range of scales, OA investigates each site, its context and clients needs (which is of utmost importance), articulating conceptual visions that later translate into new forms of built scale. Rahul Mistri’s passion for Interior Design took shape while studying at Rachana Sansad, Mumbai University and his desire to explore the influence of fabrication in Interior Design led to him to the post-graduate program. Interested in material application, analysis and production, Rahul constantly strives to research and discover new avenues in these areas. Interior Design is a craft, and he aims to experiment with local construction methods to establish new boundaries. From Hotels to nightclubs and corporate offices to high-end residences, he has been involved with designing it all. Besides work that keeps him busy, Rahul also indulges in teaching. He is a visiting faculty at the Academy Of Architecture and is also invited at various Architectural Institutes across India.
