A sprinkler system kept a kitchen fire from spreading inside an apartment building on Weymouth Street in Portland late Friday night, according to the Portland Fire Department.

Firefighters went to 12 Weymouth St. around 10 p.m. when the building's fire alarm system was activated. When fire units arrived they found tenants evacuating the building and smoke coming from the second floor.

Fire officials said an unidentified tenant was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

Deputy Chief David Jackson praised the building's owners for installing the sprinkler system. "This could have been a very dangerous fire had it not been for the sprinkler and fire alarm system. The systems worked exactly as they should have, the residents did what they were supposed to and we had a less serious outcome here."

According to information from the Assessor's Office posted on the city of Portland's website, the four-story building is owned by Grantwey Apartments LLC of Saco and contains more than two dozen units.

Investigators said the fire was caused by leaving food unattended on the stove.

Namrata Baruwa Shroffs sprawling bungalow overlooking the ocean nestled in Juhu is a metaphor for her love for all things beautiful, minimal and elegant. Be it the breezily done-up lawn or the exquisitely designed living room where she entertains her guests in style every element reflects her penchant for the dynamism of design. Shroff lives a hectic life but manages to juggle through different spheres without skipping a beat. Shes just finished a playroom, a club and has designed an entire collection for furniture fair called Index which will be held on November 14 this year. It is an Indian equivalent to Milan furniture fare, informs the interior designer.

Design: An extension of aesthetic Namrata was born in a family of architects. Architecture is what I studied and also interior design. I also enjoy studying people. Both my parents being architects, certainly drew me into this endless world. I am their architecture, says she with a smile.

When youre involved with design be it fashion or space it percolates into every sphere. As much as I love fashion, I dont follow fashion. I have always believed that fashion is something you buy but style is something you possess. I dont follow trends, she adds.

When Namrata started designing, she was very rigid about her likeness for minimalism.

However, over the past few years, her taste has evolved and she has nurtured a non-conformist style of design. Broadly speaking, my sense of design ranges from modern to industrial chic. I have also incorporated art deco into my design vocabulary. One always wants to design things which have never been designed before and there are moments of mental block. I think the environment around me gives me design ideas. I think the best time when I get ideas is between four to seven in the morning. I dont usually wake up that early except for the times when Im jetlagged, she says breaking into a peel of laughter.

Compartmentalise Its tricky to juggle work with family responsibility, especially with two kids (aged 5 and 8), she says.

Namrata adds, I think I compartmentalise my life which is the base of making everything.

Typically, my working hours are when the kids are at school and Im always present at home when they are back except for the time when Im travelling. My kids are used to being with me at sites, I read them stories in the car and I teach them myself. I dont conform to the idea of a tuition teacher. I like it because I get to study with them all over again,

Aesthetic sensibilities A desire to change the world is my drive. All the visuals I gather in my mental camera as I travel nourish my aesthetic sensibility, but the thumb rule for me to arrive at is Form Follows Function, she says. She admires the iconic Philippe Starck the most. Besides I love Piero Lisson, Moshe, Karim Rashid, Zaha Hadid, John Louis, Ashiesh Shah, Pronit Nath, Bijoy Jain, Nozer and Aditya Jeswal, she says. Besides her travel trips around the world are also a springboard for inspiration. I live to travel. Of late, Ive been very inspired by Russia and Israel and Paris.

Style to me is Fashion is something which you can buy, but style is what you must possess and this is true for design in every form, whether its fashion, decor, architecture or photography. I like structured fashion and not drawn to much embellishments. My fave Indian designers are Gaurav Gupta , Ramona and Monisha Jaisingh. Internationally I enjoy wearing Chanel, Issey Miyake , Corto Moltedo , Diane Von Furstenburg, she adds.
