GLITZ architecture & interiors - July 2022

En este número

It was a stirring and delightful experience to participate in the Charles Correa Memorial Lecture at Kolkata during which I could have a special interaction with star entrepreneur Harshavardhan Neotia, Chairman of Ambuja Neotia Group. Also featured in this issue is the post-event report iDAC Intelligence Series 2022, Kolkata and a conversation with Kalapi Buch who talks about his journey of ‘Procuring Nirvana through Muzitecture’. We are proud of Ar. Gita Balakrishnan for her commendable work in association with the Walk for Arcause Campaign. A small report of the INTCON Expo 2022, Kolkata is also a feature in this issue. The cover page features VPA Architects’ Ronak Patel, Jinal Patel, Naiya Patel’s design of the conscious Ahmedabad home with exposed concrete cantilever slabs, vertical walls, slab cut-outs and screens. Characterised by circular vents throughout the design, abundant ventilation is a salient feature of the Thrissur residence by Manuraj C R or i2a Architects Studio. A design by Abhishek Chadha of The KariGhars, the Bengaluru home defies all norms of residential interiors and paints a picture of sheer comfort in luxury. Serenity and soul resides at every corner of this tiny New Delhi home designed by Amit Bhatia and Jaanshi Bhatia of J+AM Storey. Exposed concrete ceiling, basalt stone flooring, wood furniture and sprawling views govern the design of this weekend home in Pune by Siddharth & Raina Durve. Rakesh Sharma of Genre of Design creates a wholesome marble showroom design which invites customers to sit, glance, think and explore in a subtle chic space at Jodhpur. Finally, I invite all architects and interior designers to submit their projects for the GLITZ Design Honour Awards 2022, which is to be held in New Delhi in November this year. Hope you savour this issue! We will be waiting for your feedback… Stay positive and stay connected.
