People often wonder and ask me how I work continuously without relaxing. I tell them, ‘Do what you love; it is the best way to relax.’ Well, if there’s a super-human somewhere, who does not need to recharge, rejuvenate, and refresh to stay focussed, energetic and precise – that’s not me.
Each person has a different way of rebooting the self. Being a design devotee by heart, I get the jolt to ‘bounce back on life’ when I’m surrounded by designs, either interior or architecture. I derive similar pleasure from music, graphic design and photographing. Visiting historic structural marvels and experiencing the grandeur of mega monuments, forts and castles are of my particular interest – amidst their saga and glory. The massive structures with a past make me crave to experience the stateliness personally. I relax and recharge in the quietness of magnificence where my mind can run reels of boundless thoughts while the eyes can wander aimlessly. Many times, during architectural visits, I choose a quiet corner to meditate and enter the infinite silence inside. As I open my eyes to find similar calmness surrounding the vastness of architectural splendor, it is the exquisite conjunction and utterly rejuvenating experience.
It was the week before leaving for Milan to attend the Milan Design Week 2018 and iSaloni exhibition. Years of experience has taught me to land in Milan with full throttle, pinpoint focus to sense design opportunities to document and lead with the best of my energies to explore and connect.

She is a Doctor of Philosophy in architecture and has a well-celebrated work portfolio in product design, architecture, and interior decoration. She founded her flagship company, Raseel Gujral Ansal Design in 1990 and followed it up with two more fabulous companies, Casa Paradox and Casa Pop, in 1995 and 2014, respectively.

Hence, she calls herself the accidental artist/ architect.

SEGU RESIDENCE, BANGALORE
The Segu Residence is a home in Bangalore that belongs to an expatriate family transitioning to the process of acclimatizing to a renewed style of dwelling in urban condominium abodes. Nestled in the heart of South Bangalore, this home is an honest collaboration between the design studio and the homeowners — the client brought hands-on expertise to the forefront with his honed experience in the sphere of project management and execution. The focused brief emphasized the curation of a minimalistic home that is modern and elegant in its demeanor — a coherent brief that enabled the home to become a literal extrapolation of the conceptual sketches that manifested themselves as devices of design.
