Baithak
A traditional Indian raised, cushioned floor-seating platform — and, in small-space terms, one of the most powerful zoning devices. A step up of even 100–150mm tells the body it has entered a different place, and the platform hides storage beneath.
Zone up, store under
Raising a study or seating nook on a baithak platform zones it without a wall and adds drawer storage underneath — two small-space wins from one move.
