About
A decade of designing meaningful spaces
I am Nishi Shah — an interior architect based across Mumbai, Singapore and Surat, with over ten years of experience shaping spaces that balance beauty with lived experience.
My work spans bespoke residences, hospitality destinations, commercial environments and retail concepts. Each project begins with listening — understanding how a space will be felt, not just seen.
Trained at the prestigious CEPT University, Ahmedabad, and the Architectural Association in London, I draw on a deep material vocabulary, a sensitivity to light, and an unwavering attention to craft.
OUR PROCESS
A process built on clarity, creativity and craft.
A collaborative journey from idea to reality — thoughtful, intentional and detail-driven.
Discovery
Every project begins with deep listening. I immerse myself in your world — your routines, aspirations, and the way you inhabit space — to define a design brief that is uniquely yours.
Concept
From mood boards and spatial narratives to material palettes and precedent studies, the concept phase establishes the DNA of your space — its soul, atmosphere and material language.
Design Development
Refined drawings, 3D visualisations and detailed specifications bring the concept to life. Every element — from the curve of an arch to the grain of a stone — is considered with intention.
Execution
I work closely with master craftspeople, contractors and artisans to ensure the vision is realised with uncompromising quality, managing every detail through to the final reveal.
SERVICES
Thoughtful design. Timeless spaces.
From concept to completion, we craft bespoke interiors that reflect your vision, lifestyle and the way you live.
