Once associated with unfinished surfaces, concrete today carries a different visceral impact: calm, confidence, permanence, and a certain tactile honesty. What began as the material of brutalist ambition and infrastructure necessity has subtly colonised the interiors of restaurants and cafes. ⁠
⁠
Located in the financial district of Hyderabad, the Big Star Cafe by Fellow Yellow Design Studio (.in) leans into this shift, turning a material once seen as austere into the backbone of a space that feels grounded. “Here, micro concrete floors, lime-plastered walls, dark wood furniture, and metal accents come together in a restrained palette, softened only by the cafe’s signature warm light,” reveal the founders and principal designers Geethu Gangadharan and Sreyas Vidhu.⁠

In Ahmedabad’s historic Shahibaug district, the Kasturbhai Lalbhai Museum reveals itself as a sequence of carefully calibrated encounters. Set within a tree-lined estate, the project restored by RMA Architects () transforms an ancestral campus into a living cultural archive, where heritage structures, adapted galleries, and a subterranean contemporary addition coexist with remarkable restraint. ⁠
⁠
Originally commissioned by Sanjay and Jayashree Lalbhai, they aspired to restore and re-use the ancestral estate as a dynamic archive to preserve, document and narrate the rich cultural and social history of the Lalbhai family. Hence, the six-year project demanded something far more nuanced than restoration. What emerged is not a museum in the conventional sense, but a place where a family’s cultural memory has been made walkable.⁠

The Hainan Science Museum, designed by Ma Yansong () and his firm MAD (), has opened to the public on the edge of Wuyuan River National Wetland Park. At the heart of the project is a single spiraling route that connects every gallery in the museum, walkable in either direction. ⁠
⁠
“I wanted the project to be built on the idea of flow and chaos — space, function, and knowledge to flow into one another, freely. Different subjects should connect, overlap, and stay open. If artificial intelligence can already answer almost any question, a science museum’s job is no longer to deliver facts. It is to teach children how to ask them.” —Ma Yansong, Founder & Principal Partner, MAD

There is no trademark palette, recurring material or recognisable silhouette that defines Chestnut Storeys (). Farah Agarwal () has executed several projects across the country, earned an international footprint, and accumulated a body of work that is, interestingly, impossible to reduce to a single image. The studio has grown by treating every project as a new conversation, guided by the belief that spaces absorb emotion before aesthetics and that luxury is rooted in individuality, emotional depth and belonging. ⁠
⁠
In this conversation, Farah reflects on the journey that led her here, from a student of science who could not stop thinking about design, to founding a luxury design practice with a clear point of view from day one. ⁠

Most designers grow into luxury. Farah Agarwal () built Chestnut Storeys () with the intention of creating a luxury brand from the very beginning. It was a bold move in Chennai's design landscape, but one that speaks to the clarity and conviction that have come to define her practice. In conversation with A+D, the founder reflects on a career shaped by instinct, observation and an unwavering belief that design should feel deeply personal rather than performative. ⁠

Our , India's Next Chapter; By Design, turns the spotlight on homegrown brands that are redefining contemporary Indian design. Featuring Studio Indigene (), Orikrit (), Ardhi Looms (), Intent Made () and Studio Pallavi (), the story explores how a new generation of designers is reimagining craft for the present.

Icons in Spotlight, presented by Saint-Gobain Windows( Saint-Gobain India - Glass Business Saint-Gobain ) in association with Architecture+Design, celebrates 50 of India’s most compelling architectural voices shaping the evolving design landscape. At the centre of it stands the ‘window’, an element that modulates light, mediates sound and defines how a space is experienced.

Shashank Jain (.shashank), founder of Orange Architects (), believes in the idea that architecture should feel graceful, timeless, and deeply habitable. His approach discards fleeting trends, focusing instead on creating homes that balance proportion, light, materiality, and function with an effortless clarity.

His Indore project ‘Swaet House’ reflects a refined contemporary-classical language through soft neutral palettes, symmetrical compositions, and carefully crafted details. Large windows and layered openings play a central role, allowing natural light and ventilation to move freely while maintaining a sense of privacy and comfort—making the home feel bright and open by day, and warm and intimate by night.

Scroll to see how this philosophy unfolds, and how Shashank Jain redefines the role of the window in shaping everyday living!

How a hospitality project in Goa helped That Design Studio (.in) find its footing⁠
⁠
Sere arrived early in the studio's story. Their first commission, the Goa retreat, brought together architecture, interiors, landscape and branding within a single project. Set amongst lush planting, private gardens and pools, the resort was shaped as much by the site itself as by the brief. ()⁠

Icons in Spotlight, presented by Saint-Gobain Windows (Saint-Gobain Saint-Gobain India - Glass Business), in association with Architecture+Design, celebrates 50 of India’s most compelling architectural voices shaping the evolving design landscape. At the centre of it stands the ‘window’, an element that modulates light, mediates sound and defines how a space is experienced.

Founder and Principal Designer of Milind Bargal Design, Milind Bargal () builds spaces around an unwavering conviction that light is not a feature of a room; it is the room. In his visionary residential concept, this belief takes its truest expression. The living and drawing spaces are conceived entirely around light as a defining architectural element, with expansive full-height glazing wrapped in sheer drapery that allows daylight to arrive softly.

The windows here dissolve the boundary between interior and skyline, holding the outside world in view while maintaining the privacy and thermal comfort that luxury living demands. And as light moves through the day, it activates the material palette around it.

Icons in Spotlight, presented by Saint Gobain Windows (Saint-Gobain Saint-Gobain India - Glass Business) in association with Architecture+Design, celebrates 50 of India’s most compelling architectural voices shaping the evolving design landscape. At the centre of it stands the ‘window’, an element that modulates light, mediates sound and defines how a space is experienced.

Ar. Vishwas Jeevannavar, Principal Architect at VJ Architects (), designs with a conviction that is grounded and precise. His Hubli project, House By the Tree, is built around a single, mature tree. And the windows are central to that intention. For Vishwas, they are never an either/or proposition. Not purely visual or functional, but the membrane where aesthetics, environment, and human comfort converge simultaneously. Here, they exist to keep sightlines unobstructed and nature always within reach.

What gives design its lasting value? ⁠
⁠
Pavitra Rajaram (), Creative Director of Nilaya Anthology (.anthology), in conversation with our Editorial Director, Sonal Das (), reflects on curating India's design soul and why the future of the discipline comes down to one word: ahmiyat. ⁠
⁠
From shaping Nilaya Anthology into a platform for global and Indian design voices to championing work that resonates beyond aesthetics, Pavitra’s perspective is a reminder that design matters most when it means something. () ⁠
