Top 40 Emerging Practices, Architects, And Interior Designers

ARCHITECT & FOUNDER, APARNA KAUSHIK DESIGN GROUP

Aparna Kaushik

With her inimitable sense of style and flair for luxury residences, architect Aparna Kaushik has created a distinct niche for herself.

She’s a perfectionist. We can see that in her office—a resplendent mansion spread across three floors. Her impeccable style shines through in her workspace—everything is aligned, perfectly proportioned; books, art, flowers, cushions, all come together in a perfect world choreographed by her. Architect Aparna Kaushik’s space is evocative of her penchant for arts, her obsession with fashion, her innate sense of style. “Design undoubtedly must be beautiful and aesthetic. However, over the years, I’ve realized that good design must exhibit a perfect balance of aesthetics and functionality. Functionality differentiates good design from great design,” says the architect who is synonymous with upscale residential projects.

Good at academics and a national level skating champion, Kaushik was all set to pursue a career in medicine. It was providence that steered her towards design. “I realized early on that I didn’t want to be surrounded by misery. Although I had appeared for my entrance, there was no natural inclination towards medicine. It was then that I started exploring other avenues and was naturally drawn to architecture. The monuments and palaces I saw during my travels mesmerized me. I was in awe of the scale and the impact they had on the human mind. With my intuitive sense of aesthetics and proportions, I knew I could be an architect.
