About Institutional & Public Space Design
Why We Design Public Spaces
We see public spaces as the soul of a community. For us, it’s not just about how a place looks - it’s about how it feels and how people connect inside it. Whether it’s a school, a clubhouse, or an experience center, our aim is to make every space memorable and meaningful, so people actually want to be there.
How We Work
- We start by listening - to the land, to the people, and to what the space needs to do.
- Human-centric institutional design is our thing. We want spaces to support comfort, well-being, and real interaction.
- We use spatial storytelling in community hubs, guiding people through a journey without relying on signs everywhere.
- We soften boundaries, blending inside and outside, and keep layouts flexible so spaces can adapt as life changes.
- Climate-responsive architecture matters to us. We use natural materials and often give old buildings a new purpose through adaptive reuse in public spaces.
What This Looks Like
- Schools: We design for movement and growth, with open centers, lots of light, and modular seating. Kids get space to learn and play.
- Clubhouses: These are the heart of social life. We create open lounges, cozy corners, and use materials like clay and wood for a chill vibe.
- Experience Centers: We build immersive zones that tell a brand’s story, using dynamic shapes and open layouts.
- Adaptive reuse: We love transforming forgotten places, keeping what’s good and making it better for today.
We’re all about spaces that feel alive, welcoming, and ready for whatever comes next.

My Story
Hey, I’m Rachna and Studio IAAD is my brainchild, but honestly, it’s all of us together. Design for us is not just pretty walls - it’s about making your space feel like you, really. We listen, a lot. We laugh, celebrate, argue, and mentor, and that’s what makes us a little family. Sure, magazines notice us sometimes, but what matters? When a space just feels right for you. That’s our big win.
My Work
What we do - Complete interior architecture and design for homes, offices, retail, hospitality, community clubhouses, theatres, and more.
We start by listening - You talk, we listen. That’s how we get to design that fits you, not just the latest trend.
Design that feels lived-in - From lived-in show apartment interiors to community clubhouse design, we focus on spaces that people actually want to be in.
Sustainability is non-negotiable - Sustainable interior design for us means using healthy materials, energy-conscious architecture, and thoughtful choices for long-term wellbeing.
