Impactful Commercial & Hospitality Design

A living room vignette from the Ventura furniture gallery in Hyderabad. I designed the store as a series of 'mini homes' to help customers visualize the pieces in a real setting. This scene combines organic modern furniture, a bold geometric rug, and layered wood wall panels to create a warm, sophisticated atmosphere.

The 'Palate Cleanser,' an immersive art installation I designed as a transitional passage within a retail space. This sculptural illusion uses foam, mirrors, and silver PU to create a sensory experience that resets the visitor's perspective, demonstrating my belief in using design to evoke emotion and create memorable moments.

An open-air shower in the GAIA project in Chennai, designed to blend seamlessly with its tropical surroundings. The play of light through the slatted ceiling and the use of natural stone and lush greenery exemplify my approach to creating spaces that feel both luxurious and deeply connected to nature.

The heart of Jollygunj, the grand central bar. The custom-designed, canopy-like light fixtures are the focal point, illuminating the patterned floor tiles and extensive back bar. This element was crucial to the project's narrative, evoking the charm and grandeur of a bygone era.

A powder room in the Ventura gallery that showcases a bold approach to materials. I contrasted the organic, heavy veins of the marble vanity with graphic, multi-patterned mosaic tiles on the wall. It's an example of how I use unexpected combinations to create visual interest and a sense of quiet luxury.

A video showcasing my design process for a unique bar in collaboration with Bombay Sapphire. Inspired by the architecture of Frank Gehry, I used malleable iridescent sheets and perforated metal to translate a complex structure into a functional and artistic bar design, highlighting the brand's signature blue.
