Conceptual and Visionary Architectural Projects
We use conceptual design to explore new ideas in architecture. This collection includes large-scale concepts and explorations inspired by mythology and the cosmos.
A closer look at the facade of our visionary "diamond" concept building. The vertical green terraces are designed as functional, sustainable elements, weaving nature directly into the high-rise structure to improve air quality and regulate temperature.
An AI-generated concept inspired by Poseidon. This brutalist coastal retreat features crisp white plaster walls and floor-to-ceiling glass, echoing Greek island architecture and capturing the tranquil yet powerful feel of the ocean.
This AI-generated library is inspired by Athena, the goddess of wisdom. The Greek Revival style with fluted columns, built-in shelving for classical busts, and a neutral palette pays homage to ancient elegance and knowledge.
Inspired by Apollo, this AI-generated neoclassical living area is filled with light and music. Tall, arched windows, cream plaster walls, and a grand piano create a bright, airy ambiance that pays tribute to Apollo's legacy.
An AI-generated bedroom concept inspired by the planet Venus. Smooth, sculpted ceiling panels, textured walls, and a circular window framing lush greenery evoke a romantic, otherworldly retreat that mirrors the planet's luminous allure.
This AI-generated concept for a loft is inspired by the planet Mercury. The design uses raw concrete surfaces, exposed steel accents, and floor-to-ceiling windows to create a rugged, metallic, and open-concept industrial aesthetic.
This AI-generated contemporary forest retreat is inspired by Artemis. Warm wood paneling and large windows frame the twilight woods, creating a serene, wooded sanctuary that reflects the goddess's affinity for nature and moonlight.
About this collection
These visuals are not just art, they represent the design thinking phase we apply to actual home and commercial projects. By visualizing themes like the metallic nature of Mercury or the light-filled geometry of Apollo, we test material palettes and spatial flow before we lay a single brick. It is a practical way to see how light, texture, and volume interact before real construction begins.
Architecture is rarely a linear process. Before we finalize working drawings or site plans, we often engage in deep-dive concept sessions to establish the visual language of a building. This gallery captures those explorations.
From Myth to Materiality
When we look at projects like our Poseidon-inspired coastal retreat or the Athena library, we are not just playing with aesthetics. We are studying how fluted columns, neutral palettes, and natural light placement affect the emotional weight of a room. For our residential clients in Gurugram, these exercises translate into specific choices about ceiling heights, window placement, and material transitions.
Real-World Application
The 'Diamond' concept building featured here is an example of our approach to facade detailing. The vertical green terraces and perforated metal screens were designed as functional elements of sustainable architecture. We take these high-concept ideas and adapt them into buildable solutions.
How We Translate Concepts
Whether it is the raw concrete surfaces found in our industrial concepts or the warmth of wood paneling in our forest-inspired studies, we use these explorations to create:
- Spatial Flow Optimization: Testing how open-plan layouts function in daily use.
- Material Palettes: Determining how natural stone, metal accents, and glass interact under varying light conditions.
- Facade Design: Integrating greenery and solar protection into the exterior skin of a building.
This design-led process is central to our work, whether we are managing a full turnkey interior execution or providing architectural design for new builds.

We are Subhash and Sandeep, and at designICON, we believe architecture is a dialogue between the user and the space. These conceptual explorations allow us to experiment with light, volume, and material, which we then refine and apply to our residential and commercial builds.
