"STaND wins third place in Volume Zero's RE School Architecture Competition 2018, which challenged participants to design an innovative school."

"The newly open restaurant in Byculla—Goyaa, asks us to introspect on some of these aesthetic considerations, while also showing us that ‘clutter free’ can actually be a welcome and even visually pleasing experience for diners."

STaND shortlisted for the TRENDS Excellence Awards for Architecture & Design - Best Bar/Restaurant Interiors - 2018

"With a vision to evoke emotion through simplicity and design, STaND works towards delivering innovative and inspiring design solutions that are continually evolving."

"STaND wins third place in ArchDais' competition, 'Sculpting the Pioneers of Design' which challenged participants to design an accessible sculpture that acts as a symbolic representation of an iconic architect."

"Nestled within a century-old mill in Byculla, Goyaa boasts of a color palate that plays in tones of grey and natural materials of wood and stone. To add to the charm, the ivy-clad walls and a silence that belies Goyaa’s surroundings creates a space that relaxes and soothes."

"Our vision of a school is one with no boundaries between education and culture, a space that unites native dying skill sets with integrated learning"

"The minimal grey, industrial-chic aesthetic is very of the present, accented by light-coloured wood and cane furniture. And the space still features the original beams, ramparts and high, frosted-glass windows."

"Designed by Architecture and Design Studio — STaND, Goyaa has a minimalist approach with high ceilings, cane chairs, clean grey walls and an open kitchen on the far end."

"Goyaa is a canvas of neutrals. While consciously steering clear of walls filled with meaningless knick-knacks, the designers’ clutter-free approach allows the space to breathe and employs a concise palette of materials that each solve a key purpose."

"And then wham! The warehouse’s high ceiling, with amphitheatre-like steps comes as a surprise. There is a glassed in open kitchen, grey-toned industrial chic, and Nikita D’Silva ensures that the focus is on the food and the only pop of colour are the bright green plates."
