About Heritage Restoration & Renovation

Why I Love Heritage Restoration

I get a kick out of breathing new life into old spaces. For me, it’s not just about making things look pretty. It’s about holding on to the history and character that’s already there, then adding a bit of today to it. My travels—Portugal, Spain, and all over India—taught me that the best homes (or offices!) are the ones where the past and present hang out together.

How I Work

  • I respect what’s already there. If your dadi’s (grandma’s) old chair is gathering dust, I’ll find a way to make it shine in your new reading nook.
  • You’ll see me teaming up with local karigars (craftspeople) who bring in those little human touches you just can’t get from a machine.
  • I’m big on vintage material repurposing—think old wood, reclaimed marble, jaali (lattice), and anything that’s got a story.

Details That Matter

  • Hand-painted doors and walls are my thing. Sometimes, it takes months, but the result? Pure magic.
  • I go hunting for unique finds—antique bookcases, oddball doors, old-school shell panels from Goa—you name it.
  • I love breaking up big rooms into cozy corners, because who really bonds in a massive hall, ya?

What I’ve Done

  • Worked on spots like the Vidhan Bhavan in Mumbai (yep, that’s Maharashtra’s State Assembly).
  • Restored heritage homes, making them comfy without wrecking their soul.
  • Changed boring lobbies into cinematic entrances you kinda want to show off.

If you want a space that feels like it’s lived a hundred lives, but still works for you today, I’m all in.

My Story

Eight years on the AD 100 list, still feels unreal sometimes. I kicked off this design journey 15+ years ago, always chasing stories in spaces. Travel’s my muse, like those wild hydrangeas in Azores, or old walls in Spain, they teach me harmony. Cooking keeps me sane - it’s just like design, mixing, balancing, tasting. Diwali? Pure joy, not just for the show but for the real laughs and memories. That’s what I want my work to give people.

My Work

All-in-one design services - I handle everything - interior architecture, home and office design, heritage renovation, and even custom vanity vans.

Spaces with stories - Design for me is about keeping the soul alive, mixing old charm with modern life, making rooms that truly belong to you.

Handcrafted interior details - I love adding handmade touches - maybe a mural from my travels, or working with karigars (artisans) for real emotion.

Design by feeling - We start with honest chats, not moodboards. I listen, then create spaces that feel right for you.

Homes with emotion - If you want a place that’s more than pretty, full of stories and personality, I’m your person.
