I believe that design should be intangible and internalized, much like traditional Chinese culture, constantly rejuvenating and returning to its essence through profound understanding of truths and principles.

In previous times the city of Madrid had a beach – on the Manzanares’ bank just ten minutes away from the city center. Nowadays, it is the new restaurant of La Maruca which offers a marine-like spot in the heart of the capital. This alludes to the city of Santander, where the group of restaurants originated from; whilst paying homage to Santander’s rationalist architecture, taking inspiration from the “Isla de Torre” Sailing School or the Royal Maritime Club.
K11 Musea “Taste Chamber” took inspiration from Tropical Havana. The concept of Havana Cuba heritage offers an idea on appreciating culture and experiencing the cheerful gastronomy destination.
Every site has its good and bad aspects. And every architect tries to design the building to take advantage of the good things whilst at the same time shielding it from the bad. This house is no exception. On the front the house faces west and a hard streetscape. The side and rear is built up with neighbouring houses close and densely built-up. Fortunately the south boundary of the house faces an adjoining road and a large open field and this is the ‘good’ side. And the design of this house is perhaps the clearest expression of the dichotomy between the good and bad.
Located in the Porsche area of Vadodara, this 4bhk apartment of 2,300 sq ft is luxurious as well as minimal which is truly one-of-a-kind.
The main door designed here is adorned with striated textured MCM Cladding for giving a raw and robust look to the Entrance. This door is a reflection of the contemporary style that runs throughout the space. Upon the entrance, you’ll be greeted with a sense of understated elegance and sophistication that is carried throughout the interior. The vestibule here is attached to a temple adding positivity and spiritual vibes to the house. This space has been designed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing, with a simple yet striking design that sets the tone for the rest of the interior. The use of a circular mirror on the backdrop highlights the space in a unique way.
