Selected work of 2017/2019
About Me As a child, who was exposed to different culture’s designs, I was always curious to see how design could affect interiors. Interior design to me means buildings that allow for navigating and interacting through everyday life in the most efficient and enjoyable way. These quality spaces according to their functions and personalities enable those who experience them to build memories. My effective and innovative designs combine their intended functions to contribute to the spirits of the spaces they serve. My background in architecture allows me to have a holistic approach to spaces and projects that moves back and forth between detail-orientation and holisticism. Currently, I am working to incorporate ideas of green architecture and sustainability into my design. I aim to reach harmony between the complexities of the interior of the buildings and the exterior that they exist in and interact with.

The Eakta house
The house of unity is the proposal to make unity of functionality of the space
Inspirational element see through stone mash is my Inspirational I like the way it presenting all of its functions together like it showing its strength same time shows partition let the air and light come through but the most important part of it is its pattern the way it unites and providing strength also the pattern is famous by itself in north Indian culture. Here I tried to use same traditional element different style but the same finality that appeals a cultural touch to concept of the design. https://in.pinterest.com/pin/473652085810538664/
My concept for this family residence was Unity. The home is located in Shimla, India. The purpose for this design was to show how a traditional style home can make such a statement in this day and age. Incorporating natural material such as wood it gives the home sense of warmth. The home also has materials such as travertine which I have used at the entrance for a feature wall. Porcelain tile has been used for throughout the entrance and into the living room. The kitchen is very traditional with art deco style tile used for backsplash, while the marble countertop makes it appealing and gives it a luxurious feel. The space is created for a single family dwelling. With floor to ceiling windows you are sure to get maximum sunlight throughout daytime, and unobstructed views from the mountain that the house resides on.

LIVING ROOM Here I tried to use the concept to make it more functional the pattern is used right in the front of main door it making a separation and at the same time allows to keep an eye on the door at the same time for the person watching the TV. On the other hand, solid wood and big porcelain tiles give a nod to local culture colors for wall paint are very minimal but dark concrete and dark gray fabric balancing the weight. Big windows give a nice natural view and healthy environment that will contribute to LEED credit.

MAIN ENTRANCE For the entrance the task was to keep it useful and closer to tradition. It’s a big hit by adding a console table as a traditional way moreover materials like wood and Trovatino marble and same tiles on floor make a consistency in design. A beautiful entrance carpet is very famous in Indian society the enhance the beauty. On the other hand, a see through metallic mash work is another example of conception idea it provides natural light keep the connectivity to kitchen storage.

R&B
RESTAURANT / BAR FOR LOCAL GATHERING
In this concept barrels were chosen that showcase the country style bars circa 1850, lots of solid wood rustic look pirate style traditional look also because the location is on sea site when you think about old times, there is a huge connection with barrels such as the sea port. Mostly all kinds of beer were delivered into those big wooden barrels, also its these wooden barrels keep the same taste of original beer that attracts people and will help them recognize the establishment, and help draw people in. https://in.pinterest.com/pin/522487994265460336/
The main concept in designing the interior is to create a central element in the space, a focal point of this social house. Barrels are displayed throughout the space as focal point and that is where I got the inspiration. It brings a sense of rustic charm to the space. The restaurant is designed as a gathering point for meeting friends and family and enjoying good food and drinks. Tables are custom designed created from a reclaimed black walnut tree. Metal has also been used in some of the furniture pieces to stick to the rustic element that I was to show. As soon as you enter R&B social house you get a sense of what you are going to experience with barrels stacked on top of a display on both sides. By putting the bar in the middle of the social house, I’ve managed to create a more interesting space. A vibrant atmosphere and an overall enjoyable place for people to relax.
HOST DESK
Restaurant Design and Interior Layout. While good food and great customer service are crucial for return business, the ambiance of a restaurant is also important. You want customers to feel comfortable and enjoy their meals. Restaurant design sets the stage for a customer’s dining experience. Host desk is one of the most important part of restaurant. It shows a sense of what you are going to experience. Here when u just about to enter in the R&B barrels and wooden container used as a host desk behind that a huge barrel wall partition make a privacy in space. On the other hand, layout is very simple and functional. It divided into three mail part that make it simple like first division is with V and bar that’s simply left and right on very back all the staffroom, office, storage and public toilets. booths are also play important part in layout, different sizes let people get different experience of environment.

INSIDE OUT
BRINGING SPACE INSIDE OUT
Matchbox is both a metaphorical and literal concept on which the model of the tiny house was developed. The term matchbox housing commonly refers to small inexpensive housing often with other similar houses on a social housing scheme.
https://www.agarscientific.com/fr/ white-cardboard-storage-boxes
The Matchbox house is a 500-square foot, fully off-grid and self-sustaining house. The dwelling combines a mix of modern design and sustainability techniques such as rain catchment, greywater management, and a solar array. A matchbox is a simple entity tasked to hold and maintain a great deal of energy, fire. Fire was the original source of energy and means to heat a home. The tiny home is reminiscent of the function of as matchbox as it promotes going back to basics, to use cleaner and a more organic means of design, development and living. Like a matchbox the tiny home is small and affordable but not limited to the amount of energy that can be created. The exterior of the space is a cedar reminiscent of the wood used to create a match and the floor plan exemplifies a balance of positive and negative space. When one thinks of a match in modern society they are often grounded back to their roots, they think of camping or cooking over a flame. The home was designed to exude the very basic core of a man’s living spirit, his passion for adventure.

About the Beauty of the House The intent of the Beauty Petal is to recognize the need for beauty as a precursor to caring enough to preserve, conserve and serve the greater good. As a society we are often surrounded by ugly and inhumane physical environments. If we do not care for our homes, streets, offices and neighborhoods, then why should we extend care outward to our farms, forests and fields. When we accept billboards, parking lots, freeways and strip malls as being aesthetically acceptable, in the same breath we accept clear-cuts, factory farms and strip mines. Here is a beautifull example of rich and healthy living standard.
KITCHEN
Main problem in any tiny house is the storage but here lots of overhead units cover maximum area for kitchen storage. Well in entire house everything has been designed for a multipurpose, same in kitchen a small pet of kitchen converted to laundry and on top some overhead storage helps to fit everything in it. moreover, in very short hallway a beautiful tall wardrobe covers almost everything foe extra storage of house, open shaves are perfect space for shoe rack close to door as well also on top lots of hanging space available. One more open shelve on top designed beautifully for some quick accessible things like keys etc. 5'-4" 1'-4"

WATER WHEEL SYSTEM
Hydro Energy is the technology that converts the energy of moving water into mechanical or electrical energy, and one of the earliest devices used to convert the energy of moving water into usable work was the Waterwheel. For the tiny house The Undershot Water Wheel Design is used as a main source of electricity. the wheel is simply placed directly into a fast flowing river and supported from above. The motion of the water below creates a pushing action against the submerged paddles on the lower part of the wheel allowing it to rotate in one direction only relative to the direction of the flow of the water. Tiny house is build up on the river and position of water wheel is perfect to swing on required speed and generate enough electricity.

VAN HEUSEN
A high end retail store representing Italian rich architecture.
The concept for this commercial retail space came from respecting the beauty and detail of Italian Renaissance, and modernizing it. Every detail is a nod to the past, while giving it a modern home in today’s world. The grandeur, the romance, all of these beautiful details can still be appreciated and felt in this gorgeous space. The goal was to create a space that one feels great in, and wants to return to. z https://in.pinterest.com/pin/320740804711113464/?nic=1
The concept was used throughout the store to create a cohesive effect. Sections of the retail spaces were brought together by the continuity of the concept and the beauty of the detail. Stone was central to the design, and a lot of clean white space added to the modern feel. The design was allowed to feel regal and high end, while still feeling at home in today’s minimalist world. The draw of the feeling of being in such a beautiful space will increase sales and be enjoyed by many.

A collection of my art work and some previous Architectural experiance “Drawing is the only thing I’ve found in which I can lose myself completely. I love it. It started as something that relaxed me, but now it’s a struggle because I’m pushing myself. The day-to-day sketching is fraught.” Peter Capaldi
