Urban living spaces are growing with increasingly smaller in size especially in the city centres of bigger cities. People reuse terraces, narrow tube houses, and basements of existing buildings, to find living space that is more affordable. The project is going to look at one of those scenarios, where the Millennials are now reclaiming roof-tops, where, these single room spaces on the topmost floor of existing buildings helps them connect with nature, yet living close to the heart of the city, whilst living far from the crowded streets of below.

Urban Loft (studio apartment) is a proposal made as a part of an investigation into the effects of population growth and overcrowding on interior space. The project started with learning modular furniture, house in a box (space-saving furniture) and the importance of staircase in space. The final design began with the idea of metal extensions on rooftops as a part of studio apartment and workspace for millennials. The proposed site is a rooftop of an old Parsi apartment know as Sitaram Sadan located in Marin lines, Mumbai.
