Creating or reworking a place is not just about making it look pretty - it's about keeping its story alive. Whether it’s a small corner of your home or a 50-year-old college, I pour my energy into making it both functional and beautiful. I don’t shy away from a challenge, especially when it comes to blending old with new. ### My Design Values - Balancing modern needs with original character - Reviving buildings using adaptive reuse architecture, so nothing goes to waste - Keeping designs simple, practical, and just a bit classic - Respecting what’s already there - I won’t knock down history unless I really have to ### Types of Projects I Take On - Full makeovers of heritage sites or old institutions - Small space transformation, like turning a forgotten 'MORI' (traditional wash area) into a garden sit-out - Redesigning bathrooms and interiors for a more luxe, up-to-date vibe - Open to quirky, personal projects just as much as big ones ### Always Thinking Green Sustainability is not a buzzword for me - it’s how I work. Eco-friendly building materials and maximizing light and airflow are my basics. No matter the project scale, I try to leave the environment better than I found it. ### What to Expect From first sketch to final polish, I stay hands-on. You’ll see me on site, talking to the team, making sure the plan works in real life, not just on paper. I love working with people who care about where they live, work, or study as much as I do. ## Highlights Browse through Anusha Nanavati's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/andstudioofficial/architectural-design-renovation/featured) - ![This kitchen is one of my favorite projects, a space that truly feels like a work of art.
