CREATING SPACES THAT FUSE LIGHT, LUXURY, AND FUNCTION

What was your main idea or vision behind Solarium Splendour? How did you decide on its overall look and feel?
The main idea behind Solarium Splendour was to create a residence that celebrates light, warmth, and connection to nature while maintaining a refined sense of modern luxury. The name itself Solarium evokes sunlight and openness and Splendour reflects the harmony between natural radiance and crafted elegance. We wanted the home to breathe with its environment blurring boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces through generous glazing, soft transitions, and organic materials. The goal was to make daylight not just a source of illumination, but a core architectural element shaping the mood and rhythm of daily life.

You have mentioned simplicity and clean lines as key to modern design. How do you make such minimal spaces still feel warm and full of life?
So, in essence warmth in minimalism isn’t about adding more, but about choosing with care. Every light, texture, and surface should invite comfort and human connection. I found that warmth doesn’t come from adding more, but from choosing better. Natural materials like timber, marble, and soft textiles bring texture and tactility they invite touch and comfort. The play of natural light was another key element I used it almost as a design material in itself. Layered lighting transforms the home throughout the day, making it feel dynamic and soulful.

You have used a lot of sustainable materials like glass and stone. What’s your take on balancing sustainability with luxury?
For me sustainability and luxury aren’t opposites they’re two sides of the same idea quality that lasts. True luxury isn’t about excess; it’s about longevity, craftsmanship, and a deeper sense of responsibility toward what we create and consume. In Solarium Splendour I wanted the materials to express elegance while also respecting their natural origins. That’s why I leaned toward glass, natural stone, and metal accents materials that are durable, recyclable, and timeless. They age gracefully, which means the design maintains its beauty for decades without constant renewal.

How do you approach budgeting with clients when expectations and design goals often evolve during the process?
For me, budgeting has never been just about numbers it’s really about building clarity and trust with my clients. At the start of every project, I spend time understanding what truly matters to them is it bespoke craftsmanship, sustainable materials, or that one statement feature they’ve always dreamed of? Once we know those priorities, it becomes easier to decide where to invest and where to simplify. I’ve always viewed the budget as a creative framework, not a restriction. It pushes us to think smarter to find materials, techniques, or layouts that deliver maximum impact with mindful choices. In the end, I want clients to feel that every rupee they’ve spent has added real, lasting value to their home and their experience of living in it.

Moving to Horizon Glow, what made this project special for you compared to your other residential designs?
Horizon Glow was truly a unique experience for me because it challenged me to blend modern luxury with a deep sense of calm and warmth something that isn’t always easy to achieve in residential design. Unlike many projects that focus heavily on form or function alone, this one was about creating a sanctuary that feels expansive yet intimately comforting. What really set it apart was the client’s openness to experimentation. They trusted me to explore unconventional materials and lighting strategies, which gave me room to push boundaries while still honouring their lifestyle needs. The interplay of light, texture, and natural elements became the heart of the design, creating moments of quiet reflection and joyful living throughout the home.

Let’s talk about Parosa. How do you approach hospitality spaces differently from homes?
That is an excellent transition, as the design philosophy shifts significantly when moving from a private residence like “Horizon Glow” to a commercial, public space like?Parosa. The fundamental difference lies in the target user and primary function. Creating a Theatrical Vibe We used a high contrast, bold, and energetic palette of electric blue, vibrant purple and pops of red on chairs and accents. This instantly recognizable scheme creates an instant, high-energy mood, which is essential for a restaurant. Focus on Flow and Seating The layout is optimized for high traffic and efficiency, clearly defining circulation paths and using a variety of seating arrangements like the prominent banquettes to maximize covers while maintaining comfort.

Coming to the Prestige Sales Office, what was the inspiration behind mixing an industrial style with modern touches?
The inspiration for mixing the industrial style with modern touches in the Prestige Sales Office was driven by a desire to create a workspace that is both authentic to the real estate business and reflective of a sophisticated, forward-thinking brand. This blend served two primary strategic goals symbolizing the Act of Building injecting Luxury and Aspiration.

Designing a workspace requires balancing beauty with functionality. How do you make sure the space remains efficient for everyday use?
The key to making the Office both beautiful and highly efficient for everyday use lies in the principle of “Form Follows Function” combined with user-centric design. In essence, the office’s functionality is achieved by ensuring that the architectural flow and integrated technology prioritize the activities of selling and focused work, while the aesthetic choices elevate the user experience.

True luxury isn’t about excess; it’s about longevity, craftsmanship, and a deeper sense of responsibility toward what we create and consume.
