Awards, Features, and Our Design Journey
Looking back is part of how we look forward. Here is a peek into the recognition our practice has received and the stories we have shared in print over the years.
A proud moment for our team as we were named one of India's finest design practices on the D/List 2024. This recognition from esteemed publications like GoodHomes and Trends fuels our passion for pushing creative boundaries.
We were honored to be featured in a thoughtful conversation with Livingetc India. This piece explores our creative journey, our human-centered approach to design, and our deep love for Indian craftsmanship. It’s a great read for anyone interested in the stories behind our spaces.
A profile feature in Scale Magazine that beautifully captured our 13-year journey as a design practice. The article delves into our founder story and the evolution of Purple Backyard, highlighting our dedication to authentic, story-driven design.
About In The Press: Awards & Features
Being featured in publications like Livingetc and the D/List is about more than recognition. It is validation for the local karigars we work with and our 13-year commitment to keeping spaces raw, real, and rooted in the stories of the people who live in them.
Our journey as a design practice in Mumbai has never been about following trends. Whether it is a commercial office or an experiential installation, we approach every project with the same intent: to create a space that feels like a warm hug rather than a showroom.
Recognition and The D/List
We are grateful to be named to the D/List 2024 for the second consecutive season. This recognition from GoodHomes and Trends Magazine acknowledges our practice as one of India's finer design firms. For us, this is a nod to our 'transitional' aesthetic—that delicate balance of the raw and the refined that defines a Purple Backyard project.
In Conversation with Livingetc
Our feature in the April 2025 print issue of Livingetc India was a deeply personal moment. It allowed us to articulate our human-centered approach to design. We spoke about the importance of materiality, the role of Indian craftsmanship, and why we believe a commercial workspace should be as soulful as a private home.
The 13-Year Evolution
Scale Magazine captured our growth over the last decade and more. From our early days as a young design practice to where we are now, the conversation highlighted the evolution of our design philosophy. It is a reminder that design is a wild ride, and we are still just getting started. If you are looking for design that tells your story rather than mimicking a magazine catalog, we would love to connect.
