a site office

mumbai, india.

2 sq. m.

a deployable, compact office unit built entirely from plywood and readily available hardware—designed out of the need for a quiet place to sit, work, and overlook construction while remaining within the site.

the structure compresses into a minimal volume; even the roof folds down, locking the moving parts in place for ease of transport.

inside, there is just enough space for one—a desk, a small library, and openable louvers that allow for natural ventilation. a quiet room for focused thought, made with lightness and intent.
