Gulmohar Lane flagship earns retail-interior award for MJ Architects
Sunita Kohli urged designers at DesignScape 2026 to combine global influences with Indian craft, cultural identity and sustainability. MJ Architects won the retail-outlet interior design award for Gulmohar Lane’s flagship store; ZHCollective and Habitat Architects received jury recognition for Walk In Square.

The award adds third-party validation to Gulmohar Lane’s retail presentation, but offers no direct evidence of stronger demand or store economics.
What to track next
- Award-led campaigns or flagship events announced by Gulmohar Lane
- New furniture or home-retail commissions announced by MJ Architects
- Gulmohar Lane store announcements referencing the flagship’s design
- Disclosed flagship footfall or sales-conversion changes
The counter-case
This is recognition for MJ Architects’ design work, not evidence of stronger commercial performance for Gulmohar Lane. Without traffic, conversion or sales data, the award is a weak retail-business signal. Sunita Kohli’s summit remarks do not establish the store’s craft or sustainability credentials.
