Pune: AGM Vijaylaxmi Group has appointed interior designer Sussanne Khan to shape the design direction of WIZ, its upcoming commercial real estate project in Mumbai. The development is being planned around an Art Deco-inspired aesthetic, combining architectural design, curated interiors, lighting, artwork and materials within a contemporary commercial setting.
Rather than reproduce traditional Art Deco design, the concept draws on its geometric forms, symmetry, proportions and understated glamour. Khan’s approach, known for its emphasis on craftsmanship, storytelling and restrained luxury, will inform the project’s overall design language.
Working with the wider design team, Khan is contributing to decisions spanning architecture, materials, furniture, lighting, artwork and detailed finishes. The intention is to establish a consistent design approach across the development, with functional elements integrated into the broader aesthetic.

Vikash Kawar, Director, AGM Vijaylaxmi Group, said the project reflects the developer’s approach to combining commercial functionality with a distinct identity.
“Our ambition lies in creating developments that combine functionality with a strong and enduring identity. WIZ reflects this thought process. Sussanne Khan has the ability to bring architecture, art, materials and storytelling together in a cohesive and sophisticated manner. Her involvement has helped to shape an environment that is sophisticated, contemporary and emotionally engaging. Through WIZ, we will offer businesses and investors a future-ready destination that is visually distinctive, thoughtfully designed and relevant for years to come.”
Gagan Mehta, Director, AGM Vijaylaxmi Group, said changing business requirements were influencing the way commercial spaces are planned and positioned.
“Businesses today want to operate efficiently, engage with clients meaningfully and position themselves in a differentiated manner. Commercial real estate must increasingly respond to their evolving requirements. Our approach to WIZ is therefore centred on creating an environment that supports our clients’ ambition. We aim to strike a balance that makes the project relevant to both emerging enterprises and established organisations seeking a distinctive and aspirational address.”
Khan said the design concept was intended to give the commercial development a distinct visual identity while retaining its practical purpose.
“The idea for WIZ was to create a commercial design environment with its own visual rhythm and an emotional character. Our design draws on the confidence and elegance of Art Deco but expresses these qualities through a contemporary lens. Every surface, detail and transition has been considered as part of a larger narrative, so that the experience feels cohesive, inspiring and memorable without compromising its purpose as a place of business.”
WIZ is expected to offer commercial spaces across a range of budgets, catering to businesses and investors with varied requirements. The project will include modern facilities and amenities designed for professionals, while its interiors and architecture are intended to create a more hospitality-oriented experience than conventional commercial premises.
The development is also planned to accommodate a diverse mix of businesses. According to the project details, its location in Andheri East has been selected to provide visibility and access to footfall generated by the surrounding business ecosystem.
The project’s positioning reflects the changing role of commercial real estate, where design, amenities and the experience of occupants and visitors are increasingly considered alongside operational requirements. WIZ aims to incorporate these elements into a commercial environment serving both emerging enterprises and established organisations.
The source material also identifies infrastructure development and connectivity as factors supporting Andheri East’s commercial appeal. However, it refers to “Mulgaon’s strategic location” in this context; the intended geographical reference requires confirmation before publication.
