About Retail Design
We see a retail store as more than a place to sell stuff. It’s where your brand’s vibe comes to life. Every project starts with us getting to know your brand and what your customers actually want - no copy-paste templates here. We love the process, and honestly, it shows in the way we work.
What We Design
- Boutique interiors, multi-brand showrooms, and fully immersive brand experience centers
- Retail layouts thought out for proper flow and visual merchandising strategies
- Fixture design and luxury store interiors for those who want their space to feel premium
Some of Our Work
- 1st Avenue: Gave a footwear and accessories store a modern, open look. Custom wooden shelves, a sign that screams attitude, and a layout that keeps things light and breezy.
- Sleeep Boutique: For this ITC Maurya project, we went all out with gold metal, marble, a big crystal chandelier, and fuchsia chairs. Opulence, but playful.
- Weatherseal: Made a doors and windows experience center bold and immersive (bhai, royal blue everywhere!). Custom displays let people see products in real-life settings.
How We Roll
We handle everything from the first sketch to the final setup. Our team - or as we call it, the gang - is a wild mix of in-house designers, collaborators, and chai lovers. Kaafi late nights, endless jokes (“muft kaam ka, overtime ka... sabka badla lega!” - meaning all the hard work pays off in the end), and a lot of passion go into every project. That’s what makes our spaces truly unique.

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.
