STAYING INDOORS SAFE IN THIS PANDEMIC MADE US CONNECT WITH OUR HOMES MORE THAN EVER . HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE YOUR PROCESS TO
DESIGN A RESIDENCE THAT TRANSFORMS THE LIVING OF THE RESIDENT ?
ROHIT & PUJA : Pandemic has taught us , there is no such place in the world as assured and
soothing as our home . For designers , it ’ s a soul-searching exercise , especially if you happen to live in a home you outfitted for yourself . Design course is now more personalized and oriented . The pandemic has clearly changed our brief format , now when we conceive a project we don ’ t just see it as a space where different individuals of the family need to have a room to relax but also some combined space to function . We try to follow a simple philosophy and create plethora of small spaces where members can evolve and curate unique experiences of their own . More than two years into the pandemic , we can already see changes to the way we work and live that could have a lasting impact on future spaces . People are making ingenious use of the spaces in their homes . They are wanting to grab every inch of space and looking at ways they can be together and ways they can be apart and also recycling spaces for different uses .
