Repair & Restore Your Art Deco Buildings

Since 2019, Art Deco Mumbai has been offering its knowledge to residents of Art Deco structures who wish to sensitively repair and restore their buildings. Our commitment extends beyond the technical aspects of restoration. We actively engage with residents and owners, sensitising them to the significance of their building, and the character-defining features that make it historic. The objective is to preserve the authenticity of the building, by suggesting sensitive interventions, appropriate use of materials, and incorporating archival research into the restoration process.

We emphasise the transformative power of small and economical interventions. These interventions not only have a substantial impact on the building’s aesthetic but also contribute directly to enhancing the property’s value. Our approach includes a holistic understanding of the building’s history, architecture, and the seamless integration of conservation practices.

If there is an Art Deco building in need of repair and restoration, we are happy to help (pro bono). To know more, call +91-9820155446 or email conservation@artdecomumbai.in
