Nestled in the quiet neighbourhood of Alkapuri, this gallery & art studio is a creative haven for Vadodara based artist, Prachi Shah. Overlooking the Champa trees & serene streets of Vadodara, this 900 sqft, space has been transformed from a 40-year-old, 1 bhk apartment and uniquely designed to serve as both an art gallery as well as the artist's personal studio. 

You are welcomed inside with a quote by Georgia O'Keffee engraved on entrance door, words that have resonated deeply with the artist. As you walk further into this Mediterranean oasis, it opens like a wide canvas where artworks are displayed. The exhibit space is marked by striking French door details, hand plastered walls, vintage switchboards, brass screws and terracotta flooring; everything comes together to transport you into the artist's world.

A few steps ahead begin the sacred workspace of the artist. An open plan, it offers a beautiful view of the Champa blossoms through intentionally detailed tall windows, enhanced with a reading nook & a lounger to relax. The central area is the main workstation; a 8'6 x 4' marble sculpture made from Indian Granite mounted on the floor with exceptional creations waiting to happen. It is also featured by a dining area with woven jute chairs and a terracotta lamp over hanging the micro concrete table top that adds further to the Mediterranean vibe. The walls have a unique design matrix for showcasing the artworks. Wall-mounted easels were designed to provide flexibility in mounting canvases and portraits of varying sizes. Artist can work directly on the upright canvas, making the easel a dual-purpose display and working station.

Ahead of the workspace, there is a multi-purpose room for craft work and display. It is furnished with soft board panels and a discussion table. Attached is a small powder room which continues the terracotta and brass detailing of the space. For a conceptual thinker & imaginative artist like Prachi Shah, this is an ideal space to wonder, reflect & create.
