1. What is the inspiration behind your design firm’s name?
Rosabagh, which means rose garden, symbolises love, desire and passion. It encapsulates the emotions we feel towards our work and our clients.
2. What is that one design book/movie you found inspiring?
The Great Gatsby. Its portrait of an era is almost photographic – the flappers,, the cars, celebrities and so on. It transports you to a different century and inspires me to create designs that are transcendent.
3. In what ways does your personality reflect in your designs?
I am a maximalist and a firm believer of ‘more is more and less is a bore’. I feel that is conveyed in all our designs.
4. What inspires you in your day-to-day architectural practice?
I find inspiration in anything and everything around me, whether it be music, artwork, nature or people around me.
5. Who is your favourite architect?
Karl Friedrich Schinkel – I have always admired his ability to embed elements of the poetic and the past.
6. Do you have a signature style?
We offer timeless pieces and create designs that are tailored to every individual’s need revolving around their lifestyle and sensibilities.
7. The one design philosophy you swear by?
Design should delight -It should bring joy to the people who create it as well the people who interact with it.
8. The one design quote you find timeless?
“Styles come and go. Good design is a language, not a style.” – Massimo Vignelli
9. A hobby that sets you apart?
Travelling. I don’t know if it sets me apart but it inspires me to see, try and taste new things.
10. A message to those few young practising Architects out there?
Dont run the rat race for money and success. Good design is born out of passion and not pressure. The nailed down functional approach is not always the way to go.
11. Which design blog/page/handle do you follow avidly?
I believe that inspiration comes in multiple forms. I follow Christoph Niemann, Corey Damen Jenkins and David Schwen to name a few.
