In this conversation, HK Design Studio reveals their journey into the world of architecture and design.
The decision to pursue interior design stemmed from a desire for a creative career that would allow me to blend my passion and work seamlessly. Interior design offered the perfect opportunity to channel my creativity, love for aesthetics, and desire to create meaningful solutions for clients.
The desire to take our business to the next level by focusing on delivering quality interior service. Also, an exceptional customer experience in the process of designing their dream spaces.
We believe that each project possesses a unique set of challenges and opportunities, which guide our design processes. By embracing the singularity of each project, we open ourselves to opportunities that not only result in new and creative solutions but also fully address the specific requirements of each project. We strive to develop solutions that are both client- and context-sensitive, with equal regard to such factors as budget, operational efficiency, long-term maintenance, environmental responsiveness, and compliance. While creativity is always our goal, we concentrate first on resolving key functional planning challenges. Meanwhile, we ensure that creativity is integrated into each evolving design solution.
The inspiration comes from a deep understanding of the client’s needs and market trends. Additionally, it involves observation, pain points, and a desire to create innovative solutions. These address unmet problems, pushing boundaries while aligned with the target audience’s desires and the overall project goals.
I found my signature style by embracing experimentation, reflection, and authenticity. While staying informed about trends. I focused on what truly resonated with me and my client.
I prioritize values like transparency, integrity, collaboration, continuous learning, and a strong work-life balance. These values manifest in my work ethic by fostering honest communication and actively seeking team input. Additionally, I constantly strive to improve our skills while effectively managing my time. This way, I maintain personal well-being outside of work hours.
One of our latest projects is Apartment 1704, located at Mira Road, Mumbai. This home exemplifies homeliness, simplicity, and understated elegance. We utilize a neutral palette, enlivened by splashes of color through soft furnishings and art. Consequently, this approach creates a rich experiential quality and crafts a comfortable dwelling for the family. Each element is carefully curated to harmonize with the space, thus crafting an inviting atmosphere that resonates with warmth and redefines luxury. Moreover, we envisioned every room with its own unique personality. Every space in this residence redefines modern luxury with its thoughtful design and attention to detail. Creating a serene haven for a family of medical professionals.
One of the most exciting developments on the horizon is the integration of VR with interior design. Imagine providing your design clients with a totally immersive consultation experience. After your client places on a VR headset, they can walk into a holographic projection of their designed space. This advancement gives your client an immediate impression of your design, providing more accurate feedback.
A well-designed interior space can significantly impact a user’s mood and workability. By thoughtfully considering elements like lighting, color palette, furniture arrangement, and material selection, we create environments that promote relaxation, concentration, and creativity. Ultimately, this leads to increased productivity and overall well-being. To achieve this, we focus on incorporating elements that foster a positive atmosphere. For instance, we emphasize natural light, calming colors, ergonomic furniture, and organized layouts. Additionally, we tailor the space to meet the specific needs and desired functions of the user.
To choose the right material palette that aligns with your design language and client aspirations, we first seek to understand the client’s brand identity, target audience, and desired aesthetic. This begins by asking questions about their values, goals, and the emotions they wish to evoke. Next, we select materials that visually represent these elements while maintaining consistency with our design style. Additionally, we consider factors like texture, color, finish, and sustainability based on the project’s needs. Finally, we present options to the client for their feedback and refinement.
Playing cricket, listening to music that inspires me to keep going.
The most fulfilling aspect of interior design for me is understanding the human psyche and creating environments that promote comfort, productivity, and a sense of connection.
To grow as an individual in the future, I commit to continuously focusing on intellectual growth, personal development, emotional intelligence, career growth, and social responsibility.
We want our legacy to be about creating spaces that bring people together and inspire them.
