Most exciting part in the process of design is when the requirements are in front of me and I try to make sense out of the written ones and the few unwritten ones.
Only a part of the requirements will be put out and the rest are for you to figure out. And there will be subtle but strong messages about the taste, background and architectural exposure of the client.
Once you have this understanding of the project where you know what is expected out of you (which is not often so easy!), the design follows / flows…!

The project above is an entrance gateway design for a Naga client, who didn’t know what to expect. He had a picture with him; the picture of an entrance arch which he saw somewhere.
In this case, the client's exposure to architecture was limited to the few recollections of Naga Architecture (refer image). Also noticed that the image he shared was slightly monumental in scale and was quite modern. That’s when I hit the bull’s eye!

The idea to recreate the Naga feel in modern clean lines took off from there and at the end of it all, I got a happy client!
