About Hospitality Architecture & Interior Design
Why We Design
For us at Design By Meta, hospitality architecture and interior design are more than just projects - it's what keeps us going. We get a kick out of transforming boring spaces into spots people actually want to be in. If you’re after something that’s not cookie-cutter, that’s where we come in.
What We Shape
We handle everything from big hotel chains to cozy retreats, restaurants, buzzing bars, and all sorts of public spaces. Our portfolio has vibrant lobbies in Hyderabad, beachy resort rooms in Goa, and even full-on hotel facelifts in places like Bhopal. We’ve given dated spots a complete turnaround - those before-and-after moments are what we live for.
Our Style
We don’t come in with a fixed idea. First, we dig into your brand, the vibe, and what makes your local culture tick. You’ll see touches of local art in our work, like Gond art glasswork in Bhopal hotels or rooms in Gangtok that feel straight out of Sikkim. For smaller properties, like Uttarakhand’s hill retreat, we use natural materials and panoramic views to create a proper escape.
Behind The Scenes
Honestly, it’s our team’s mix of madness and creativity that does the trick. Deadlines can be chaos, but we have fun with it - “muft kaam ka, overtime ka, koi bhugtan nahi ka, sabka badla lega” (all the unpaid overtime will be avenged, one day!). That passion shows in every space we touch.
Boutique hotel interiors and local art integration in hotels are at the heart of what we do. If you want a space that feels like it actually has a soul, let’s talk.

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
Architecture & Interior Design - We design residential, retail, hospitality, and commercial spaces across India, with a classic contemporary interiors vibe.
Our Design Philosophy - We don’t do magazine sets. We make spaces that feel warm, rich, and actually lived in.
Transformation Experts - Love a good before after renovation - we turn lobbies, cafes, bars from dated to designer.
Team-Powered Projects - It’s always a group effort. Our collaborative architecture team works with partners to bring every vision to life.
