Ameesha Patel's production house in Mumbai has a perfect homely atmosphere where happiness quotient is a priority and productivity is an obvious result, writes Nimisha Tiwari
The artefacts: Candle stands, photo frames and Buddha paintings are displayed at the assembling room for visitors. "Every time I travel, I pick some little interesting artefacts that will suit my office theme," adds Ameesha. A life-size picture of her grandmother adorns the walls at the reception area. "My grandma's blessings are always with me. She's been my strength throughout," explains the actor-producer.
Terrace spot: After a long days' work, the business partners are often joined by their team staff and other visitors at the terrace area, which has lamps hanging on the walls and fairy lights dimly-lit inside. Frangipani flower pots dot the terrace with a corner in the East dedicated to the Tulsi plant. "My friends, producers and directors often perch here for hours on the cushioned bamboo chairs and chat all evening long. My staff's birthday cakes are cut here and we have a great time together. It's more of a bonding spot for us, also our favourite," Kuunal and Ameesha say.
The detailing: Ameesha's eye for detailing is tremendous. In fact, the door knob in her cabin has three swarovski crystals embedded in it. The placement of furniture, showcase of trophies and even tall candles are located according to a perfectly chalked out plan to give an uncluttered feel, positive feel. Everyone's welcome at Ameesha's office and the actress personally plays the warm hostess with great elan.
What can a visitor expect from the office of one of the prettiest production house owners in India? Well, it's an easy guess - a well decorated and comfortable space. And Ameesha Patel's office absolutely fits the bill. Situated in a quiet lane in suburban Mumbai, the office is almost like a 'home-away-from-home.' There are well-lit seating areas, fully functional pantry, conference area, aptly ventilated utility spaces and then, of course, the boss's cabin, which has a splash of pink. Says Ameesha, "Pink's my favourite colour and so my cabin is an extension of that colour preference. But the rest of the office is personalised according to other's choices." Her business partner, Kuunal Goomer likes robust shades and thus there's a combination of wood and black, which rule the colour palette in his cabin. A meeting room has cushy black leather chairs and a teak wood conference table. And the entire space has a common feature of scented candles that are lit in the corners to give a 'calming' effect.
