We transform commercial spaces into living, breathing environments that tell a story. From rooftop culinary studios to private lounges, we focus on adaptive architecture that blends nature with functional design.

A moody, green-paneled private lounge we designed for Sunrise. The space features our custom vintage silhouette furniture, brick flooring, and tinted mirrors to create an atmosphere of quiet glamour and intimacy.

This rooftop culinary studio in Bangalore was designed as a modern Victorian conservatory. The iron and glass structure creates a light filled space for culinary events, furnished with an eclectic mix of our custom pieces.

The glass ceiling and walls of the rooftop studio offer views of the surrounding tree canopy. We designed the layout with varied seating arrangements to accommodate everything from intimate dinners to larger design workshops.

An adaptive event space we designed with a focus on flexibility. The industrial metal architecture, combined with comfortable lounge seating and string lights, creates a breezy and easy to configure rooftop venue.

About Commercial & Hospitality Design

For our hospitality projects, we often start by identifying the hidden potential of a site, such as rooftops or forgotten corridors, transforming them into adaptive spaces through structural interventions like iron and glass conservatories. We focus on how light moves through these materials throughout the day to ensure the environment feels dynamic and alive, rather than static.

When we approach commercial and hospitality design, we treat every project as a form of spatial storytelling. In our work with culinary studios and event spaces, we move away from standard layouts to create 'in-between spaces'—areas like courtyards and lobbies where community interaction happens naturally.

Our Design Philosophy

  • Adaptive Reuse: We look at existing infrastructure and rethink its purpose. An industrial rooftop can become a light-filled Victorian-style conservatory with the right metal framing, effectively bringing the outdoors inside.
  • Material Honesty: We prefer honest materials like steel, brick, lime plaster, and Kota stone. These materials age gracefully and add a tactile quality that synthetic alternatives cannot match.
  • Nature-Integrated Spaces: We design for biophilic impact. By allowing trees to grow through structures or using expansive glass, we ensure the space remains connected to its context. The goal is a seamless transition between the building and the environment.

Why it Matters

Commercial spaces should be more than just functional; they should evoke a feeling. Whether it is a moody, green-paneled private lounge or an airy studio for culinary events, we prioritize an atmosphere that encourages people to linger. By blending traditional techniques like Kutch-inspired craftsmanship with modern industrial architecture, we create environments that feel grounded and distinct. We avoid trends, focusing instead on design that holds its relevance as the surrounding landscape changes.
