## 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.
