Inspiring Public and Commercial Spaces Design
We build offices, clubhouses, and schools that prioritize human interaction, natural light, and a connection to the local context.
The multi-purpose hall at the Meraki Clubhouse, designed for community events and performances. We used a vaulted ceiling with integrated lighting and a patterned tile backdrop to create a space that is both elegant and functional, with excellent acoustics.
The badminton court at the Meraki Clubhouse is defined by a warm, ambient glow. We designed the lighting to be indirect and atmospheric, creating a pleasant playing environment that feels distinct from a typical sports hall.
A creative screen made of badminton rackets separates the viewing gallery from the court at the Meraki Clubhouse. This playful detail is an example of how we like to incorporate thematic elements directly into our architectural design.

This video captures the vibrant and playful atmosphere of 'The Amber Encase' clubhouse. It showcases the bold use of yellow to unify different spaces, from the dramatic entrance corridor to the library and game rooms, creating a cohesive and energetic environment.
A lounge area in 'The Amber Encase' clubhouse, where a yellow-tinted glass grid separates the space while maintaining visual connection. The design uses a primary color palette of yellow, blue, and black to create a modern and graphic interior.
The main corridor of 'The Amber Encase' clubhouse, where a reflective ceiling doubles the height and intensity of the all-yellow space. This immersive design choice turns a simple circulation path into a powerful architectural experience.
A sculptural, bright yellow partition wall at 'The Amber Encase' clubhouse. The wall's geometric cutouts create playful openings and visual interest, serving as both a functional space divider and a piece of installation art.
This rendering animation introduces the TheraNym office project. The video highlights the building's distinctive facade, which features intricate brick 'jaali' screens and large glass openings, creating a modern workplace that is rooted in traditional craftsmanship.
About Inspiring Public & Commercial Spaces
When we design a public space like the Meraki Clubhouse, we start by looking at how people will actually use the area. For the badminton court, rather than settling for standard lighting, we created an indirect, ambient glow to make the environment feel calmer and more engaging. It is about understanding that a commercial space needs to function for many, but still feel personal to the individual using it.
Our approach to public and commercial architecture is grounded in the idea that a building should serve the people who inhabit it, whether they are working in an office, learning in a school, or relaxing in a clubhouse.
Designing for Connection
In projects like 'The Amber Encase,' we utilized bold color palettes and geometric partitions not just for visual impact, but to create distinct zones that balance privacy with connectivity. By using reflective surfaces and intentional sightlines, we transformed simple circulation corridors into experiences that encourage movement and interaction.
The Technical Foundation
Great architecture needs a strong technical backbone. In our office designs, such as 'TheraNym,' we integrate features like brick jaalis to manage natural light and ventilation, which helps lower energy loads while adding character to the facade. We coordinate closely with structural engineers and contractors to ensure that complex elements—like large spans for halls or cantilevered structures—are executed with precision.
Our Process
We believe in a collaborative workflow. From the initial concept and site analysis to the final site supervision, we stay involved. Whether we are planning a master layout to maximize FSI or detailing a reflected ceiling plan for an office lobby, our goal is always the same: creating spaces that feel timeless, functional, and deeply connected to their environment.
