Maddock Films: Crafting a Home for Storytellers

For the expansive central lounge at the new Maddock office, I chose to create several intimate seating areas instead of one large one. This approach encourages smaller, more personal conversations, turning a large hall into a series of warm, inviting corners for creative collaboration, all anchored by timeless wall paneling and a classic crystal chandelier.

A film production office feels incomplete without music. Placing a baby grand piano in the heart of this lounge was an instinctive choice to make the space feel more like a home. It serves as a beautiful visual statement and a source of spontaneous creativity for jam sessions or quiet moments.

To celebrate Maddock's incredible legacy of over 35 films, I created this quiet tribute wall. Instead of a loud display, the film posters are arranged in a simple collage, framed by classic paneling. It’s a humble yet proud showcase of their work, reflecting an ethos of storytelling without pretense.

In Mumbai, smart storage is essential. Here, what appears to be a simple mint green paneled wall is actually floor to ceiling storage, seamlessly integrated into the design. I paired this functional element with a bold, floral sofa and eclectic cushions to create a vibrant lounge that is as practical as it is beautiful.

Meeting rooms should inspire, not intimidate. At Maddock, I designed lounges instead of formal boardrooms, using a mix of rich textures like buttery leather, plush upholstery, and warm wood to create comfortable spaces where stories and ideas can unfold naturally.

A closer look at the details in this Maddock lounge reveals the intentional layering of textures and light. A vintage Tiffany lamp casts a soft glow on the rich blue sofa and tan leather armchair, creating a warm and inviting corner perfect for collaboration and creative discussions.

This intimate, wood-paneled study at the Maddock office was designed as a quiet retreat for reflection and focused conversation. The deep wood tones, classic leather armchairs, and vintage Ram Durbar painting create a sense of tradition and calm, proving that even within a bustling office, you can carve out spaces that feel soulful and secluded.

This teal conference room at Maddock Films is one of my favorite creations because it challenges the idea of a typical boardroom. I envisioned a bold, versatile space for both daytime meetings and intimate evening dinners, using a rich, monochromatic color scheme and a grand solid wood table to create an atmosphere that is both luxurious and deeply inviting.

The founder's cabin at Maddock, with its impressive 17 foot ceiling, was a joy to design. I centered the space around a large vintage desk and a custom light installation, layering it with eclectic art from London, a mix of Persian carpets, and vintage chairs to capture a youthful, fun, and subtly opulent spirit.
