1. What is the inspiration behind your design firm’s name?
To put it simply, KariGhars are skilled workers constructing “ghars,” or homes. We, therefore, created the moniker that suggested closeness to ethnic Indian heritage by recognizing all of their efforts as they were the creators of bringing homes to life.
2. What is that one design book/movie you found inspiring?
Why Man Creates is a short animated documentary film from 1968 that explores the nature of creativity. The film makes strong denotations on the origin of creativity and its purpose of existence in a manner that has never been seen. The movie is intelligently divided into eight sections, and although it may occasionally look out of date, it nevertheless holds valuable lessons for designers and other creative applications even today!
3. In what ways does your personality reflect in your designs?
I love adding my own unique spin to whatever I do. In order to make the homes of my customers as unique as they are, I always attempt to bring their life stories to life in their homes.
4. What inspires you in your day-to-day architectural/design practice?
Every day in my practice, I feel inspired by the opportunity to use design and functionality to enrich the lives of each client.
5. Who is your favourite architect/designer?
Charles Correa. His focus on bringing out the exchanges in relationships between material, culture, and people made his designs eternal and remain pertinent even as we walk ahead in the future.
6. Do you have a signature style?
A glamorous fusion of contemporary, modern, and minimalist design elements is my style of aesthetic design.
7. The one design philosophy you swear by?
“WOW” is the goal. A design can elicit the following three reactions: Yes, No, and Wow! I’m all in for wow.
8. The one design quote you find timeless?
“The details are not the details; they make the design.” – Charles Eames
9. A hobby that sets you apart?
My interests include doing some artistry, such as painting, lettering, and crocheting.
10. A message to those few young practicing designers out there?
Respect your client’s choices because nothing they truly enjoy will ever go out of style.
