Architecture + Design - February 2023

Bu konuda

In our cover feature, we talk to architect Arun Sharma, Founder, Atrey Associates about balancing luxury and sustainability. It’s a difficult balance to achieve. But through his sculptural creations, Arun finds a way to strike the right balance. The rest of the Issue is dedicated to retail and commercial spaces. There’s a marked difference in designing residential spaces and commercial spaces. In residential spaces one knows exactly whom you are designing for, which certainly is not the case in commercial and retail spaces. One has to design keeping in mind different demographics and multiple functions. We take you to some of the most interesting, playful, thoughtful spaces. It’s an interesting mix…tell us what you think.
