Ruchika holds a Master’s degree in Advertising and Marketing from Leeds University, UK, and later pursued designing at Hamstech, where she excelled. In 2020, she partnered with Shaily to establish The Design Street, focusing on comprehensive space design and functionality. They believe aesthetics must align with practicality, ensuring spaces are not only beautiful but also functional and comfortable.
Their approach emphasizes understanding each client’s personality to tailor designs accordingly. For aspiring designers, they advocate hands-on experience, emphasizing the importance of fieldwork and collaboration with vendors.
Their recent project, a four-bedroom apartment in Trendset Jayabheri, Hitec City, was for a couple from Odisha who sought to infuse Indian culture while maintaining simplicity and easy maintenance.
Arches in the passages added character, while matte- finished tiles minimized upkeep. Customized elements, from laminated wooden flooring in the bedrooms to minimalistic furniture, reflected the clients’ preferences. Every detail, including rugs and furniture, was tailored to their needs. Notably, the puja room featured customized handle doors, epitomizing their dedication to personalized design solutions. The result was a harmonious blend of Indian tradition and contemporary functionality, fulfilling the clients’ desire for a beautiful yet low-maintenance home.
