Shantanu Waykar, S.ALT Atelier Inspired by the idea of narrating stories through a home, Shantanu Waykar pursued interior designing from MMSID (Marathwada Mitra Mandal's School of Interior Design) in Pune. Post the completion of his 2-year diploma course, Waykar worked with several companies like JOSMO Studio as a Jr. Furniture and Interior Designer, and Livspace where he worked for four years before setting up his own studio. Although the idea for S.ALT was conceptualized in 2015, it was only launched in June 2020. Located in Pune, S.ALT is rooted in a highly collaborative process that is deeply personal which results in sophisticated spaces that reflect each client’s personality and their preferences. The most recently completed project by S.ALT is a 1,200 sq. ft. 3BHK home in Baner, Pune. The house is a mixture of modern and contemporary designs, finished in neutral tones with hints of blues and greens. Artistic wall décor and paintings, along with sleek wooden furniture and meek house plants give the house an easy vibe. Currently, Shantanu is working on several projects including a 4.5BHK home, a rooftop penthouse in Wakad, Pune, and a 3BHK home at Lodha Belmondo overlooking a golf course.
