About Hospitality Design
How I Think About Hospitality Spaces
For me, a hotel or restaurant is not just a place to eat or sleep. It’s where memories get made. I’m always chasing that vibe where luxury feels effortless - not just fancy looks, but a feeling that just hits right. Comfort, inspiration, some peace - that’s the goal.
My Way of Designing
- I don’t just do the surface stuff. I handle everything: blueprints, structure, interiors, down to the lighting. One-window, no faff.
- Obsessive about details. I really care about how light moves, how spaces flow. I want people to feel good, not just impressed.
- I mix old-school with modern - so you get that timeless feel, but it never feels out of date or too try-hard.
What I’ve Worked On
- Restaurants: I’ve done spaces that are all about modern restaurant ambiance, but also places that feel classic and plush. Sometimes both in one.
- Banquet Halls: I love going all out here - arches, those heritage jharokhas, chandeliers that actually make you stop and stare.
- Hotels: For me, it’s about the journey. Every corner should feel like it belongs, but still surprise you. I lean into experiential luxury hospitality when I plan out the flow.
Roots and the Bigger Picture
I pull a lot from Indian heritage-inspired interiors - Rajasthani arches, Islamic patterns, but always with a twist so it doesn’t feel like a museum. I care about the planet too - sustainable hotel design is not just a buzzword for me. I bring in local artisans and crafts where I can, so the space has some soul and isn’t just copy-paste global.

My Story
We’re 23DC, started by Shiv Dada and Mohit Chawla. Our thing? Mixing the soul of old Punjabi homes with the kind of luxury you spot in Dubai Hills. Not just fancy looks, but spaces where families actually live and grow together. We’ve taken this vibe from Punjab to Delhi, Dubai, USA, and Australia. Getting into Architecture + Design’s Top 50 was cool, but what really drives us is making homes that feel like home—luxury with heart.
My Work

Design Philosophy - Luxury means lifestyle. We mix classic elegance, wellness, privacy, natural light, and a strong indoor-outdoor flow. Sustainability is non-negotiable.
Remote Project Monitoring - Our 'everyday site visit' system uses daily site photos so we catch issues fast, even for global projects.
Our Approach - Less is more. No clichés. Each space—be it ancestral Punjabi home restoration or a bold office—tells its own story.
