Design By Meta

We are a team-powered architecture and interior design studio transforming residential, retail, and commercial spaces. We create warm, rich, and truly lived-in environments, focusing on quality of life, not just magazine sets.

A vibrant green wall serves as the focal point in this modern office, showcasing our biophilic design approach. We integrate natural elements like this to create a refreshing and productive atmosphere that reduces stress and improves well-being for the team.

This open-plan office highlights our industrial-chic aesthetic, featuring an exposed ceiling, polished concrete floors, and sleek linear lighting. The layout is intentionally designed to foster collaboration while maintaining a clean, modern, and spacious feel.

We design spaces that balance work and leisure. This project features a formal, wood-paneled conference room for focused meetings, alongside a dedicated recreational area with a pool table, demonstrating our ability to create multifaceted commercial environments.

We believe every office needs a comfortable escape. This cozy breakout corner, with its warm accent lighting and comfortable seating against a textured brick wall, provides a quiet space for informal chats or focused individual work.

We believe in the power of transformation. Here’s how we turned a dated bar into the 'Unlock Bar' at Keys Select Kattima, Chennai, creating a chic, modern social hub that invites guests to connect and unwind.

First impressions are everything. We designed the entrance lobby for Lemontree Premier in Hitec City, Hyderabad, as a bright, expansive space featuring a stunning central art installation, setting a tone of modern luxury from the moment you walk in.

This guest room mockup for Lemontree Amarante Beach Resort in Goa captures the essence of a coastal escape. We focused on a light, airy palette, comfortable furnishings, and subtle tropical accents to create a peaceful sanctuary for travelers.

Our architectural work aims to harmonize with its surroundings. This aerial drone view shows the Blushing Pines Retreat in Bhowali, Uttarakhand, nestled seamlessly into the lush green hillside, demonstrating how thoughtful design can respect and enhance nature.

We love weaving local culture into our designs. For the Lemontree Hotel in Bhopal, we commissioned a beautiful stained glass piece inspired by local Gond art, making the reception desk a unique and culturally significant focal point.

A look at the 'Keys Cafe' in Chennai, where we used warm wood tones, lush green accents, and layered lighting to create a welcoming all-day dining environment. The design includes varied seating arrangements to cater to both groups and individuals.

This aerial view captures the essence of our Blushing Pines Retreat project in Bhowali, a boutique homestay designed to exist in harmony with the surrounding forest. We focus on creating architecture that respects and enhances its natural environment.

A glimpse into a resort room we designed for ITC in Gangtok, featuring a custom stone fireplace and warm wood paneling. Our goal was to create a cozy, elegant retreat that reflects a sense of place and comfort for every guest.

We believe great design is for everyone in the family. This girl's bedroom in a Noida residence was a fun renovation project, designed with a playful yet chic aesthetic to create a space that can be enjoyed for years.

This living room showcases our signature vintage elegance style, where classic furniture and a rich color palette create a warm and inviting atmosphere. We blend timeless design with modern comforts for a truly livable space.

Attention to detail is key in our work. Here, integrated LED lighting along the wooden staircase provides both safety and a warm, modern ambiance, highlighting the clean lines of the design.

We are honored to have our principal architect, Nomita Sawhney, recognized as one of the 'Most Iconic Architects' for 2025. This award fuels our passion for creating exceptional spaces.

My Story

Hey, we’re Design By Meta. Been at this architecture and design game for 14 years, all over India – Goa, Gangtok, you name it. Our team? Bit of a mad bunch, always celebrating something, Holi or random birthdays. We call ourselves the Dream team or just ‘the gang’. For us, a project is not just walls and roofs, it’s a story. Like revamping a kid’s room years later – that’s the stuff we love. Spaces should feel like home, not just look good.

My Work
