12" April - 10" June 2023 Np Interior Design Competition ithe Studio Apartment - Interiors Redefining Urban Interiors in Mumbai PARLE se lit) lL#Ginternational Interior Design Competition XN , Introduction The urgent demand for small, effective living quarters in highly crowded metropolitan regions gave rise to the idea of studio apartments. These compact yet practical homes, which have a history dating back to the middle of the 20th century, are growing in popularity among young professionals who value cost, simplicity, and convenience in their busy lives. Studio apartments provide creative and flexible living options suited to a new generation of urban inhabitants, and they stand as an intelligent response to the issues that cities face due to rising urbanization, skyrocketing land prices, and a lack of accessible space. The need for well-designed studio apartments has increased recently, particularly in crowded places like Mumbai. As a result, there is an increasing need to redesign these areas with an emphasis on minimalist, contemporary, and streamlined designs that precisely respond to the needs and preferences of young working professionals. Designers are urged to investigate creative storage solutions, multipurpose furniture, and smart space-saving methods in order to maximize space and utility. Incorporating sustainability and eco- friendliness into the design will also address the rising environmental consciousness throughout the world and the need for more conscious living.Ginternational Interior Design Competition Nb Aim The goal of the competition is to inspire participants to consider innovative ways to use the little amount of space in a studio apartment, seamlessly combine the living and working spaces, and take advantage of the special coastal position to improve the atmosphere and user experience. The objective is to design a practical, fashionable, and cosy living space that meets the demands of contemporary urban life, attends to the particular requirements of young working professionals, and fosters a sense of connection to nature. Site Location The Studio apartment is located in Mumbai's thriving Bandra neighbourhood. Bandra, a lively neighbourhood known for its vibrant cultural scene, has grown to become a destination for young working professionals looking for an exciting urban lifestyle. This popular neighborhood, which combines the intensity of city life with the peace of a seaside setting, offers the ideal background for the design challenge with a broad array of affluent sea-facing properties. While designing, participants should take Bandra’s distinct personality and the demands of its youthful, professional population into account.International Interior Design Competition NX Guidelines Include necessary areas such as a sleeping area, living area, workstation, kitchenette, eatingarea and bathroom, as well as clever storage options, using the reference plan given.
