Dusty spaces across Mumbai are finally opening their shutters to give the arts and culture a big, warm welcome. Two weeks ago, Whistling Woods Andheri Base announced its arrival in the western suburb of Andheri, promising engaging nights to professionals who tire themselves day and night in front of computer screens and grilled train windows. Giving South Mumbai’s cultural landscape a fresh lease of life, The Warehouse, a one-time furniture shop, is set to turn its timber walls and smooth wooden floors into a buzzing hub.

The Warehouse is spacious and accommodating for various kinds of activities

Open from Wednesdays to Sundays, the slope-roofed structure is currently hosting workshops and meet-ups. Rohita Kilachand, the 25-year-old owner of the space, believes in three magical words: ideas, inspiration and knowledge, and would like to fashion this space into a platform unto three aims.
