# Experimental Cuboid Exhibition Spaces Sār Unveils the Experimental Sār Residence by Girish Doshi By Amy Duong | Published 2024-11-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sar-residence References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2024/11/26/sar-residence-girish-doshi-pune/) & [sar-studio](https://sar-studio.com/)  Indian furniture imprint Sār has introduced an experimental house dubbed the Sār Residence and it was created by architect Girish Doshi. It is used for [exhibitions, design residencies, and performances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/residence-exhibition) to name a few of its functions. Nestled in the city of Pune, it is the first physical space that was founded by designer Nikita Bhate in 2018. The goal was to create a home-like environment instead of a [traditional retail showroom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gstaad-house) and allow the brand to showcase its products in a new way. Bhate shares with [Dezeen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quadrodesign), "This building gave us an opportunity to explore design in terms of space, not just furniture. This is not a shop where you go and see ten sofas. It's a space to live in, where Sār can be part of your life. From architecture to furniture to small objects, everything you're using is by us."
