THE ART OF REFINED ELEGANCE

We met Amrita Gupta, Director, Manglam Builders at one of her latest design ventures - Manglam Maplewoods. With the picturesque Aravalli Range as its backdrop -- the farmhouse project in Jaipur exhibits a nuanced architectural style and stands in perfect symphony with its context. Spread over 75 acres, Manglam Maplewoods exudes a rare mix of calmness and tranquillity, and offers a surreal mix of dream and reality.

Design is second nature to Gupta, it comes naturally to her. A true visionary, she thrives in understanding the need, and setting new trends in accordance to the need of the consumer. From being one of the most sought-after interior designer in Jaipur, to being a successful businesswoman, to being a strong advocate of women empowerment, and a mother of three, Gupta is a force to reckon with. Her background in commerce and her inclination towards science did not hinder her from pursuing her true passion for interior design. Following her passion, she earned her Master's in Interior Designing from SCAD, Atlanta, USA.

At Manglam, her work covers projects ranging from residential apartments, clubhouses, villas and corporate offices. Refined, elegant and subtle, she gives luxury a new meaning all without compromising her unwavering commitment to sustainability. Right from the materials used to the collaborating with local artists and promoting young designers, Amrita gives a new interpretation to sustainability.

We caught up with her for a candid conversation.

Your approach to design is lucid. The elements you incorporate in your project reflect your deep understanding of design. We'd like to know more about your design philosophy.
