A delightful surprise at 35,000 ft!
In their June 2026 edition, Namaste.ai - the in-flight magazine on Air India - features The Loft | Redefined & Tianu - The Revival Project
South Bombay or SoBo - as it is affectionately called - arguably is India’s leading art district that exudes a character that is reminiscent of yesteryear, yet very much part of the present. Labeled as a “museum of architecture”, the area is an expanse of culture and heritage with an eclectic blend of styles – Neo-Classical, Gothic, Victorian and Art Deco - coupled with a flair for the contemporary - that corroborate the unique spirit and aesthetic of the place.
This context provides a unique opportunity to revive and breathe new life into spaces that are defunct and in a state of disrepair.
As a studio, we’ve had the privilege of Adaptively Re-Using existing heritage buildings all the while preserving & rehabilitating the same - this practice has emerged as a commercially viable, environmentally sustainable, and programmatically flexible design solution.
Thank you for championing our work and highlighting the value & importance of Adaptive Re-Use. ✨
