Interior Architecture

Spaces that record the passage of light and raw material.

We compose architectural residential workspaces and quiet sanctuaries that honor raw travertine, solid walnut heartwoods, and linen textiles. Based in Mumbai.

OUR APPROACH

Spaces designed
to feel like you.

We begin with the way a space is lived in — its light, rhythm, materiality and quiet rituals. From that understanding, we shape interiors that feel considered rather than decorated.

01 — LISTEN

Understanding the people, rituals and spatial needs that shape a home.

02 — COMPOSE

Balancing architecture, material, light and proportion in harmony.

03 — REFINE

Editing every detail until the space feels effortless and timeless.

Thoughtful changes in material, proportion and light can completely transform how a space feels.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER

Rinki Chauhan

My Journey — From Dreaming About Homes to Building a Company

I’m Rinki Chauhan, a Civil Engineer and the founder of an interior designing firm that I have been building since 2023.

My journey into the world of interiors started long before I officially became a part of this industry. I have always been fascinated by beautiful homes. I would spend hours watching different houses, interiors, designs, and transformations on YouTube, imagining how spaces could be designed, built, and transformed. Back then, it was simply a dream and something I loved watching. Today, that dream has become my reality — I’m not just watching people create beautiful homes; I’m creating them myself.

I come from a very close-knit family, and being the single girl child, I have always shared a very special bond with my parents. They have supported me throughout my journey, believed in me, encouraged my decisions, and given me the confidence to pursue what I truly wanted. A lot of who I am today comes from the values and support they have given me.

For me, family and friends are my priority. No matter how ambitious I become professionally, I never want to lose the importance of the people who have been there for me. I believe success is much more meaningful when you have people around you with whom you can celebrate it.

Professionally, being a Civil Engineer has given me a strong foundation in construction, materials, structure, and execution. Entering the interior designing industry in 2023 allowed me to combine that technical knowledge with my creative side. I love the process of taking an empty or ordinary space and turning it into something that feels beautiful, functional, and personal.

I’m someone who is fiercely excited by new tasks and challenges. I enjoy trying new things, learning along the way, and taking on responsibilities that push me beyond my comfort zone. I believe strongly in my work and in the ideas I bring to the table. I may not always know everything at the beginning, but I believe in figuring things out, learning from every experience, and moving forward.

Outside of work, I’m someone who believes that life should be enjoyed too. I love travelling, going on bike rides, exploring new places, spending time with my people, and, of course, eating good food! These are the little things that keep me refreshed and inspired. Travelling especially gives me the opportunity to experience different cultures, spaces, architecture, and lifestyles — and I often find inspiration for my work in the places I visit.

My dream today is much bigger than simply running an interior designing firm. I want to become a great company founder and build a company where creative minds are celebrated, ideas are respected, and people are given the freedom to grow.

I strongly believe that discipline and work-life balance should go hand in hand. I want to build a workplace where employees can be ambitious and dedicated while also having time for their families, friends, passions, and personal lives. Because I believe that when people are happy, respected, and mentally balanced, they naturally give their best.

At the same time, I want every client who works with us to feel that they are in safe hands. My vision is to create a company that delivers beautiful, thoughtful, and well-executed spaces while providing an experience built on trust, creativity, professionalism, and genuine care.

From being a girl who used to sit and watch beautiful homes on YouTube and imagine creating them someday, to becoming a Civil Engineer, an interior entrepreneur, and a founder with bigger dreams — this journey has been incredibly special.

“The girl who once dreamed about creating homes is now building not just homes, but a company, a team, and a vision of her own.

And this is only the beginning.”
