Blurring boundaries

Blurring Boundaries is a contextual architecture and interior design studio, engaged in creating sustainable and appropriate design solutions. It is based in Mumbai and Wada, spearheaded by founders Prashant Dupare and Shriya Parasrampuria. Belief Our practice is artisanal, innovative, experimental and collaborative with a staunch belief in ‘glocal’ and sustainable practices. It focuses on small details along with the larger perspective and works on all aspects in detail. We believe that design can transform us and must be used sensibly and sustainability is beneficial in the larger scheme of things. We try to use locally available materials but experimenting and reinterpreting them, leading to unique contemporary designs. We attempt to practice an architecture where there is a seamless transition between the physical, psychological, social and cultural elements of space. It embraces the contrasts in human nature, behaviours and social practices and translates the contrast into design and physical spaces, hence the name Blurring Boundaries. An experimental approach to the project ensures that the user needs are met innovatively. We see innovation in smaller everyday life and question standard practices in design and construction. We believe design is fun-n-play and need not be serious all the time. Collaboration with like-minded people and shared knowledge and learning opens up newer avenues of discovery and design.
