About In The Press

Being featured in the AD100 for 2025 highlights our work on projects like the Ventura showroom in Hyderabad. This recognition validates our focus on non-linear layouts, architectural product displays, and the integration of fine European design, proving that intentional, quiet luxury resonates in both commercial and retail spaces.

Our inclusion in the AD100 list reflects the studio’s evolution since 2012. We do not design with a single signature style. Instead, we approach every commercial, hospitality, and residential project as a distinct narrative. Whether it is a bar that captures the essence of old Calcutta or a minimal home with a central tropical courtyard, our process remains grounded in material honesty and spatial storytelling.

Our Design Ethos

  • Story-led Concepts: We avoid templates. Every project, from a 25,000-square-foot residence to a boutique bar, begins with a deep dive into the reason for the space. We build themes that evoke emotion rather than simply filling a room with furniture.
  • Warm Minimalism: Our signature aesthetic balances raw textures—exposed brick, river-washed stone—with refined finishes. We focus on natural light and multi-level zones to create environments that feel lived-in and calm.
  • Technical Precision: Behind the aesthetic, we prioritize practical flow. Our layouts are engineered for commercial efficiency, ensuring that service paths in hospitality venues and customer traffic in retail stores function as seamlessly as the space looks.

Recognition and Commitment

Recognition from publications like Architectural Digest serves as a reminder of our responsibility to maintain high standards. It is not about the award itself, but the validation of our approach: that design should be quiet, intentional, and deeply rooted in the story of the client or the brand. We continue to apply this same rigor to every project, ensuring each space we complete is ready to stand the test of time.
