Bandra, once a leafy suburb of Mumbai city, has become a vibrant yet highly dense neighborhood symptomatic of the crunching space in Indian metropolises. The floor space of an average household gets more and more constrained and precious. While it forces some to leave the neighbourhood and move further away from the city centre, for others it means that they’ll have to make do with less space. This increasing problem has been ingeniously addressed in a 7th floor apartment in Bandra.

班德拉，曾经是孟买城市的一个绿树成荫的郊区，现在已经成为印度大城市破败空间的一个充满活力但高度密集的社区症状。普通家庭的建筑面积越来越受到限制和重视。虽然它迫使一些人离开这个社区，搬到离市中心更远的地方，但对其他人来说，这意味着他们不得不用更少的空间来生活。这一日益严重的问题在班德拉的一间7楼公寓里得到了巧妙的解决。

The Bandra apartment is designed with an adaptable and open arrangement. Re-moving dispensable walls between rooms and replacing them with objects optimizes space. By opening and closing, sliding and folding it up, the home is restructured, expanded, fragmented, connected or isolated.

班德拉公寓的设计具有适应性和开放性。在房间之间重新移动可有可无的墙壁，并以物体取代它们，优化了空间。通过打开和关闭，滑动和折叠它，家庭被重组，扩大，支离破碎，连接或孤立。

The interiors while minimal yet intricate in detailing, is embellished with a subtle collection of textures and materials. Each utility core is materialized either in stained birch plywood, natural stained white oak or an epoxy cement finish each defining the characters of the spaces in which they present themselves. The spaces have their own unique character and definition while at the same time do not compromise on the feeling of spaciousness.

内部虽然最小，但复杂的细节，是装饰一个微妙的纹理和材料的集合。每个实用核心都是在彩色桦木胶合板，自然染色白橡木或环氧水泥完成每一个定义的特点，他们呈现自己。空间有自己独特的特征和定义，同时又不妥协空间的感觉。

The interactive layout of the apartment allows you to walk around the house in multiple ways. Every room has at least two ways to go to another, giving an illusion that there are many more rooms than there actually are. The complexity of spaces prevents a quick and easy mental map of the apartment to be formulated, encouraging one to explore the house in different ways.

公寓的互动布局允许你以多种方式在房子里走动。每个房间至少有两条路可以到达另一个房间，这给人一种错觉，认为房间比实际的房间要多得多。由于空间的复杂性，无法快速、轻松地绘制出公寓的心理地图，从而鼓励人们以不同的方式探索房子。
