Treelight Design is a studio engaged in architecture, interior and product design; spearheaded by principal architect Amitha Madan, who believes that design is a creative reaction to interesting stimuli. These stimuli may be a beautiful location, unique material, form, function or simply a classic line. The eventual design is a synthesis of both, the subjective and the objective analysis of an idea. “A careful understanding of the brief and location, extensive research, innovative planning and exploration of materials are an important part of our processes. Development of innovative construction details that accentuate the geometry or behaviour of a material coupled with spatial interactions resulting in memorable experiences, is what inspires us,” tells Amitha.
