About the Designer
APOORVA SONI
P R O F I L E
Combining a practical experince of 10 years, my vision is to design spaces by merging art, experience & architecture; bridging gaps and intersecting with fields of sustainability, technology & material research.
am keen on captalising the knowledge of traditional practices and digital interfaces for creating unique spatial experience. A constant strife for realising value from waste is the driving force in many of my projects.

COGNIZANCE
At COEXIST we believe in an informed way of designing; to create intelligent spaces & objects, provide a healthy living environment by using advanced digital tools, fabrication techniques. Our range of services spans over temporary built spaces & product design, exterior - interior spaces.
As a practice we want to start a dialouge about “The oblivious use of resources in the field of space design.”
Can we adopt better more mindful methods of construction & constructing ?
We are already familiarised with the terms such as recycled, upcylced, cradle to cradle deisgn, but where do these terms get lost in actual translation of a design ?
We want to nudge people in the field of design & those affected by it to work towards finding solutions that can help reduce this industry’s impact on the enviornment, planet & beyond.
