For me, it's not about trendy looks or a quick fix. Sometimes what a space really needs is a proper shake-up - changing the "bones" so the whole place finally feels like you. If your builder's layout just doesn't work for your family, or you dream of something bold (but not loud), that's where I come in. ### The Realities of Deep Change This kind of renovation is pure chaos sometimes. Breaking down walls, dust everywhere, a hundred decisions to make. But I handle it all with my crew - from empty shell to fully finished home, ready for you to move in. Think of me as the calm in the middle of the madness; I take it slow and steady so we get it just right. ### What We Can Really Do - Merge two flats into one big, open floor plan (open floor plan renovation is my jam). - Knock down or build walls to totally reshape your layout. - Build a mezzanine floor if your ceiling is tall enough (adds a whole new vibe). - Design and install custom staircases, even those cool cantilevered ones (custom staircase design? Yes, please). - Hide ugly beams with curved ceilings and chill lighting. - Redo old-school bathrooms for modern life. - Heavy wood or stone details if you want that rustic Indian home remodel feel. ### Our Vibe & Materials My style blends old-school Indian touches and a bit of modern. I use stuff like: - Local stones (like Jaisalmer) for walls and arches. - Reclaimed wood, antique pillars, and chunky beams. - Exposed brick, handmade tiles - earthy, real, nothing fake. ### The Journey This isn't a fast job, and it won't be spotless, but if you want your home to tell a new story, we'll make it happen together. I promise it’ll feel like it was always meant to be yours. ## Highlights Browse through By the Riverside's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/bytheriverside.in/architectural-structural-renovation/featured) - ![This living room is a conversation between the old and the new.
