Studio IAAD

We design architecture and interiors to create memorable spatial experiences. Our purpose-driven process begins with listening to shape sustainable spaces that enrich life.

Our design for the Godrej South Estate Experience Centre in New Delhi, featuring a monumental, semi-permeable facade. This structure is not just a partition but an architectural statement, creating a majestic presence that guides the visitor journey through a play of light, shadow, and form.

By retaining the original arched structure and opening it up with floor-to-ceiling glass, we created a light-filled, modern workspace that seamlessly blends the built environment with the surrounding greenery, showcasing our philosophy of adaptive reuse.

This high-angle view of the Elevate Clubhouse in Gurugram captures the essence of my design approach. The double-height ceiling and open layout create a sense of grandeur, while the distinct seating zones, rich herringbone flooring, and warm lighting foster a welcoming atmosphere for community interaction.

The reception at the Godrej South Estate Experience Centre showcases how a single architectural feature can define a space. This modular, semi-permeable facade creates a dynamic play of light and shadow, offering a powerful first impression that is both sculptural and inviting.

In this lounge at Godrej Woods, I used art as a central narrative element to create a sophisticated yet comfortable atmosphere. The space is designed for quiet conversation and relaxation, with natural light, soft textures, and curated furniture that encourages residents to pause and connect.

A seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces is crucial for modern community living. This view of the Elevate Clubhouse's outdoor lounge demonstrates how I extend the living area into the landscape, creating a tranquil retreat for residents to enjoy the open air.

This comparison shows the journey of the Elevate Clubhouse from a digital render to the final built environment. It highlights my commitment to precision and execution, ensuring the initial design vision is translated into reality with integrity and attention to every detail.

Modern amenities must be flexible to support evolving lifestyles. The business centre at the Elevate Clubhouse, complete with glass partitions and professional furnishings, provides a dedicated space for remote work without sacrificing the overall sense of community and openness.

A design's success lies in its materiality. This mood board for the Elevate Clubhouse provides a tactile glimpse into the selection process, combining wood, stone, and textiles to create a layered, sophisticated, and warm environment that feels both refined and grounded.

Design is a human endeavor. This is Priyanka Arora, our Associate Partner, who led the design for the Elevate Clubhouse. Her vision was to craft a space that fosters community and adapts to evolving lifestyles, turning a shared amenity into the emotional heart of the development.

Welcome to our world of design, where every space is crafted to be a sanctuary. This living area from our Max128 project in Noida opens onto a lush deck, embodying our philosophy of blurring the lines between inside and out. We believe a home should be a place to slow down and reconnect, using clean lines, natural light, and a blend of contemporary and Indian design elements to create a feeling of calm.

The dining area in our Vasant Vihar residence is anchored by a striking piece of art, creating a focal point for shared meals and conversations. We design spaces that are not just functional but also serve as a backdrop for life's moments, using a palette of warm, natural materials and refined finishes to build an atmosphere of quiet luxury.

A bedroom should be a personal retreat. In this master bedroom, we used a soft, olive green upholstered headboard and layered textiles to create a space that feels both restful and sophisticated. The design prioritizes comfort and tranquility, with thoughtful lighting and textures that invite you to unwind.

We believe in designing with nature. This dining space in our Courtyard Garden House in Ahmedabad is built around an internal green courtyard, bringing life and light into the heart of the home. This approach, known as biophilic design, is central to our practice and helps create environments that are nourishing and full of vitality.

An expansive deck can transform an apartment into a home with a connection to the outdoors. For the Max128 show apartment, we designed this outdoor space as a true extension of the living area, perfect for quiet mornings or evening gatherings. The furniture is chosen for both comfort and durability, creating a low-maintenance urban oasis.

The kitchen is the heart of the home, and we design it to be both beautiful and highly functional. This kitchen features a blend of warm wood, marble-finish backsplash, and sleek cabinetry, with botanical art adding a personal touch. Every layout is planned for ergonomic ease, making daily rituals feel seamless and intuitive.

Transitional spaces like staircases are opportunities to create memorable design moments. In the Elevate Clubhouse, we used backlit art installations to transform this stairway into a gallery. This intentional approach ensures that every part of a building, not just the main rooms, contributes to the narrative and experience.
