Mumbai, India

Karfule Petrol Pump was built by Gabriel Sequeira, an entrepreneurial Goan who migrated to the city in the 1920's and long harboured the dream of building his own business. This structure was designed by Gajanan B Mhatre and Architectural Studio and constructed by Simplex Concrete Works & Construction Co. in 1938. Here, you see the original hand rendered drawings of this heritage property. These drawings along with other archival material and memorabilia, remain carefully preserved by the Sequeira family.

This is the elevation drawing of Karfule. Notice the signages along the tower detail above the cantilevered roof of the pumping station in the center.
