Space Studio Chennai

Associated with the conceptualization and design of many prestigious projects in India across different sectors. Rich experience of having worked with leading design firms in Chennai before floating my own design studio. My design skills and eye for detail makes each project unique in its own way. My vision and my inspiration for work are to create aesthetically appealing sustainable spaces without compromising on the functionality. The client needs comes before anything else and this reflects in all stages of the design transition from concept to completion. The team at the studio works single mindedly towards translating the client’s needs, vision and dream into functional spaces that are a pleasure to experience at work, leisure and at all walks of life. The success of the studio is its prestigious clientele who choose to work with me and studio on repeat projects.

Is architecture fading as a profession?
Absolutely not. If anything, architecture is transforming — shedding outdated systems and becoming more relevant than ever.

What’s fading is the old image of the architect:
– the lone genius,
– the underpaid draughtsperson,
– the passive service provider waiting for a client to knock.

What’s rising instead is a new breed of architects who are:
✨ Strategic thinkers
✨ Brand builders
✨ Spatial entrepreneurs
✨ Experts in user experience, sustainability, and wellbeing
✨ Critical contributors to urban and economic growth

Architecture is expanding beyond drawings — into research, products, digital assets, policy, sustainability, placemaking, and now, experience-driven corporate environments.

The demand has never disappeared; the form of practice is what’s evolving.

People will always build.
Cities will always grow.
Businesses will always need better, healthier, more efficient spaces.
And someone must imagine, design, and orchestrate all of it.

So no — architecture is not fading.
Only the architects who refuse to evolve are.

Here is one way you can remain relevant amidst the altering business landscape of architecture. 👇🏻⬇️

As an architect, I don’t recommend indoor playrooms. Childhood belongs outdoors.

Play doesn’t need a room — it needs space, sun, mud, and movement. That’s the childhood I grew up with, and the one I still believe in.

Real play, for me, is lived under open skies — chasing dragonflies, knocking marbles, spinning tops, scraped knees.

A game room can’t hold that magic.

May play be the purpose of your life,
and wonder your constant companion.

Happy Children’s Day 💛

Our village pump set is my happy place

Your upbringing, travel experiences shape how you design and build.  

Our paternal grandparents mansion has a massive well , a pump room and a storage tank where the water falls. To bathe here is the biggest joy ever. Water has a purifying quality to it. It can wash away anxiety, fear and fill you with limitless joy 🤩  my earliest memory is bathing in the tank with water gushing over us from a 15 horsepower motor. 

In a recent trip to sirumalai , a hill top in southern TN region, we stayed in a resort where they had set up water spouts that falls directly on you in the swimming pool 🏊 it is something both the kids and adults enjoyed immensely. 

This pool is influenced by the early childhood memory and the recent travel experience. At the studio , Spaces are shaped largely by human experiences. Conceptualised with love and built with such care.

iPhone moment that is repeating

Not just new features — but making the old way of working obsolete.
Excel that builds models for you. Word that drafts instantly. A desktop that understands what you need before you ask.

In the next 1–2 years, we won’t just work faster — we’ll work differently.
The tools we use today will feel outdated overnight.

The real innovation isn’t what AI creates…
It’s what AI makes irrelevant.
