creativity lies in simplicity and functionality and also to make most of the resources at hand without impacting the environment.

Interior Design has always been a thought driven, observing and ever evolving process for me from my early stage of life, it feels as if Design thinking is in my DNA. As my first question behind every designing project is what’s the human need behind it and how it is technologically feasible and economically viable.

Interior designing is more than a career to me it’s my passion more of a fun to me as since my childhood this is the only field I understood from within. Was like born to observe the nature – it’s surroundings wether natural or human-made creative elements, colours, shapes, lighting, objects that envision, enriches and completes a space. Would like to give an interesting example – As a child I was fascinated with collecting abandoned bird nests to learn how they are made by these humble species as their younger ones abode- its different sizes, colours, shapes material used, durability, flexibility, purpose, hence I got my first lesson in architecture and design from the nature itself. That creativity lies in simplicity and functionality and also to make most of the resources at hand without impacting the environment.

My studies as an Interior designer was a great learning curve as gave an insight into the professional approach to designing thus enriching my thought process and enhancing my design thinking capabilities by learning solutions. Next learning curve was when I stepped into the real world of designing by taking up a job in reputed firm as an intern. This is where it was a reality check for me as a women, as an budding passionate young but raw talent that results matter and sometimes your beliefs go for a toss as its more about profit and business rather than conserving the environment or sustainability.

My forte was design thinking rather than being just money minded, as money has always been a by product of my creations. Hence soon went on to become a freelancer to work on my own terms and belief system and to pursue my passion of creating viable and sustainable designs with humane element as the core.

Experiencing the challenges, ups and downs while designing every sq ft space has defined my identity and beliefs as an Interior designer.

Hence my past had laid the very foundation of my design beliefs and my present identity- Siyarch Studio my Interior design firm which was just a pen, drawing board an idea in my young mind 7 years ago. My first independent professional design work started from designing a 100sqft space to accomplishing the feat of designing over all 1.5 lakh+ sq.ft of space. Experiencing the challenges, ups and downs while designing every sq ft space has defined my identity and beliefs as an Interior designer. It has given a different virtue to my womanhood at the same time regards to my goals, dreams and aspirations. Aspired me to be ethical and more moralistic towards my belief for Environment sustainable interior design. Interior Design for me is ones attitude who feels behave and find solace in the space designed for his or her comfort.

My beliefs are:
Design for human comfort.
Design to make one feel better everyday.
Design that thinks around the end user.
Understanding the needs of those you’re designing for.
Design that’s sustainable and environment friendly.
Design that creates minimum wastage and full utilisation of natural resources at hand.
Design that’s durable and brings you close to nature.
Design that increases functionality.
Innovating new ideas in design approach.
Design is about solving problems and putting the pieces together in a functional end result.
Create designs that are adaptive as well as resilient.
Design with the future in mind.

Now after travelling half the world solely to explore the architecture and designs and experience the culture thus broadening my imagination and learning what’s trending have kept my mind fresh and abreast with the present and future of designing.

My projects reflect a feeling of close to nature thus have maximum use of natural resources such as Natural day light, solar energy for hot water, emphasis on Indoor air quality, use of colours that make you feel comfortable and effective functionality with the perspective of effective time management and human comfort to increase productivity and enhance creativity in the work space either be it a retail, residential, Institutional or commercial project.

We hope that our spirit for newness and ability to thrive in remote areas will lure us to even more exotic landscapes and educate us further on the wonders of human ingenuity and resourcefulness.

Siyarch strongly believes in and stand by that design for future

Hence with all this climate change and global warming happening its not only ethical and important but has become a necessity to have an environment sustainable design which reflects an attitude of providing a safe and comfortable place and world for our future generations to come.

This could be achieved hand in hand with the use of technology as it moves fast but not construction. So why not use technology to optimise the human comfort without compromising on the sustainability factor. That’s already taking shape and technology advancements such as:
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the global network of physical objects that includes devices, vehicles, buildings and other articles that are embedded with technology, software, sensors, and WiFi network connectivity to enable them to not only collect and exchange data but enhance ones human comfort.

3D Imaging and printing will shape the future of design and décor Augmented/virtual reality will put you in the designed room even before it exists. We at Siyarch have adapted to the future technology in such a way that it helps us and makes our resolve more stronger to achieve our beliefs, objectives, and bring our thought process and designs to reality.
Our designs reflect our objective to be Eco-Friendly, energy efficient, and technologically enhanced to embrace the scientific knowledge of the 21st century. Which is already becoming a current trend and would be a necessity in the near future.

Every day, at Siyarch we thrive to be a part of the resilient world that we want to live in, focusing every inch of design around human needs: connecting fast-growing communities, housing cultural institutions, building homes, harnessing emerging technologies, educating young people, and most importantly, cultivating knowledge. Our past, present and future is all about connecting people to places and to each other, in relevant, flexible and future-proof ways. We have built the foundations of our company along those very same future-proof principles, and with that brave, complex and exciting future in mind… and the good news is, we are just getting started.
