Featured Interior Design and Architecture Projects
A curated selection of my work, ranging from heritage restorations in Mumbai to contemporary commercial spaces. These projects reflect my commitment to blending historical charm with functional, modern design.
This is a glimpse into the redesign of the iconic Gallops Banquet Hall at the Mahalaxmi Racecourse. My vision was to create a space that feels both grand and versatile. The dramatic black and white marble flooring, combined with rustic wooden beams and magnificent crystal chandeliers, provides a timeless canvas for any significant event.
For the Parsi Dairy Farm renovation, I wanted to create a space that felt familiar yet fresh. This gifting zone, with its custom red cabinetry and floral upholstered chairs, is a cozy corner where customers can assemble hampers or enjoy a treat. It’s a perfect example of blending charming, old-world features with a clean, modern aesthetic.
Designing an office is about creating a space that is both productive and inspiring. For this workspace at One Place Lodha, I focused on a sophisticated, warm atmosphere using rich wood tones, classic English-style decor, and carefully selected furniture. The goal was to make it feel less like a corporate office and more like a refined, comfortable study.
A lobby is the first impression of a building, and it needs to make a statement. In the Bellevue lobby, I used a bold, intricate marble inlay on the floor and a massive, ornate mirror to create a sense of opulence and grandeur. It’s a space designed to feel luxurious from the moment you step inside.
I had so much fun designing this lovely powder bathroom. The entire concept was born from using the wastage of White Venetino and Black Marquina marble from other parts of the house. I wove a beautiful inlay pattern for the floor and used the white marble for the walls, creating a striking monochromatic theme that proves sustainability can be incredibly stylish.
I am thrilled to have completed my first international project, a restaurant in Houston, Texas, designed entirely from my Mumbai office. This space features a mix of patterned tile floors, comfortable booth seating, and elegant, modern chairs. It was a wonderful challenge that shows my firm's capability to deliver quality design anywhere in the world.
The entrance to the Gallops banquet hall sets the stage for the elegance within. The grand, studded black doors are flanked by classic chandeliers against a textured white stone wall. This design creates a dramatic and welcoming entry, promising a memorable experience for every guest.
Here I am at the Kutar Residence, a project where we blended family heirlooms with modern design. For me, architecture is not just about creating new things; it's about telling a story and creating a space that truly feels like home. It’s a collaborative process I enjoy deeply with every client.
About Featured
I don't design for fleeting trends. Whether I am restoring a 107-year-old icon like the Parsi Dairy Farm or planning a corporate office at One Place Lodha, my goal is to ensure the space functions as well as it looks. I focus on practical details like material longevity—for instance, repurposing marble wastage into intricate powder room inlays—to prove that high-end design can be sustainable and deeply personal.
My Approach to Design
I believe architecture is not just about building structures; it is about creating experiences. When you look at my featured work, you will see a recurring theme: the balance between traditional values and modern requirements. My process starts with sketches and on-site material selection rather than just digital renders. I want to be hands-on because that is how we solve the real challenges of urban design, especially in a city like Mumbai where every square foot counts.
Projects That Define My Work
- Heritage & Commercial: Projects like the Gallops Banquet Hall and Parsi Dairy Farm taught me how to honor legacy while infusing youthful energy. I use techniques like black and white marble inlay, rustic timber, and layered lighting to create spaces that feel timeless.
- Workspaces: My approach to office design, such as the work at One Place Lodha, focuses on comfort. I treat a corporate office like a study, using rich wood tones and thoughtful layouts to make productivity feel natural rather than forced.
- International Reach: My recent restaurant project in Houston, Texas, proved that my design philosophy travels well. By managing the process from my Mumbai studio, I delivered a space that bridges the gap between classic charm and global standards.
