Material Innovation & Bespoke Architectural Details
We redefine interior spaces by transforming raw industrial elements into refined, bespoke features. Our approach blends craftsmanship with unexpected materiality to create environments that are intellectually stimulating and deeply personal.

For a construction firm's office, we used reinforced steel bars, a common building material, to create a delicate and visually permeable screen that separates the reception from the conference area.

The door handle detail, crafted from steel, echoes the geometric and industrial themes of the office. It is a small but important part of a cohesive design narrative.
The faceted steel reception desk, designed by Vibhor Sogani, serves as a sculptural anchor in the space, perfectly complementing the rebar screen and terrazzo floors.
In the Laxcon office, we used derivations of the company's own stainless steel for partitions, handles, and cladding, celebrating the client's core product within their own workspace.
About Material Innovation & Bespoke Details
We often elevate utilitarian materials like reinforced steel or raw concrete by juxtaposing them against rich textures like Burma teak or bookmatched marble. This process involves testing how these elements interact with light and volume, ensuring the final custom detail is not just a surface treatment, but an integral part of the space's structural narrative.
Our philosophy of material innovation centers on finding beauty in the unexpected. By recontextualizing mundane construction components, we create interiors that feel grounded, authentic, and unmistakably yours.
The Raw and the Refined
In our office projects, we frequently employ a 'raw meets refined' methodology. For a recent South Delhi project, we transformed reinforced steel bars into a delicate, visually permeable screen. This served a dual purpose: it segregated the reception from the conference area while maintaining an open, fluid volume. By treating industrial steel with the same precision typically reserved for high-end finishes, we challenge conventional ideas of luxury.
Custom Fabricated Elements
True bespoke design goes beyond color palettes and furniture selection. We engage in deep detailing, often designing one-off architectural features. Whether it is a faceted steel reception desk, a backlit stone fireplace, or a custom door handle echoing the building's geometric theme, every element is designed to contribute to a cohesive whole. These pieces are not merely decorative; they function as sculptural anchors that define the spatial experience.
Materiality as Narrative
In our work for clients like Laxcon Steel, we integrated the company's core product directly into the building's fabric. By using diverse derivations of stainless steel—for partitions, staircases, and wall cladding—we celebrated the client's identity within their own workspace. This approach ensures that the design is deeply rooted in the client's reality, creating a space that functions well and tells a meaningful story about the work they do.
