Behind the Design: Our Process
From site visits to the final handover, take a look at the real work that goes into our projects.
We don't do couple workouts, we do site visits. Here are our Principal Architect, Ayush, and Principal Designer, Shivani, on site, where every walkthrough is part work, part banter, and all heart.
Site visits hit different when the finish line is close. Our Principal Architect, Ayush Lalittya, walks through the site with the team, checking every detail as the drawings come alive and the corners begin to speak.
A final walkthrough of our Chennai villa before handing over the keys. This is the part no one sees, with unboxing accessories and last-minute fixes. It’s a beautiful kind of chaos where the heart of the project truly is.
A glimpse from the "Textiles as Storytellers" panel discussion. It was a celebration of fabric as memory and material as message, bringing together voices rooted in design, craft, and culture.
A little peek into our completed project in Kolkata, which is very close to our hearts. Our Principal Designer, Shivani, is back on site for the final touches. Stay tuned for the full reveal!
Join me for a tour of our latest project at DLF Magnolias. I’ll share the journey behind this Japandi-inspired design and how all the different spaces, from the bedrooms to the living areas, came together.
Not just a study, not just a lounge. This is a corner to work, unwind, and host a guest or two. I'll show you how this simple setup with a pull-out sofa bed punches way above its weight in functionality and comfort.
Running a design business isn’t about doing all the work; it’s about choosing the right work. In this interview, our Principal Designer, Shivani Lalittya, talks about learning to say no, choosing projects that align with our values, and understanding that friction is part of the process.

About Behind the Design
Design does not happen in a clean office. It happens on dusty floors, during intense team debates about lighting angles, and while we are solving real-time site problems. When you hire us, you get a front-row seat to the process, because we believe you should know exactly what goes into the spaces we create.
People see the final reveal and think it is magic. But honestly, the real work is in the chaos. Whether we are unboxing accessories in a Chennai villa or arguing about texture paint on a bar unit in Gurugram, we believe transparency is part of the package.
Why we share the messy bits
Design is unpredictable. We deal with site constraints daily, from civil corrections in old renovations to complex joinery details. Showing you this side of our practice means you know exactly how we handle problems when they inevitably arise.
Our Turnkey Reality
We manage the entire lifecycle. That includes technical documentation like reflected ceiling plans and electrical layouts, but it also includes the emotional side of design, helping you decide if a wall needs a bold texture or just a simple, elegant finish.
The Team Dynamic
Shivani and Ayush handle the vision, but our team on the ground ensures the execution matches the renders. From DLF Magnolias projects to our recent work in Kolkata, the goal is always the same: a home that feels like you, just elevated. If you want to know what it is actually like to build with us, these site updates are the best place to start.
