Inspiration struck early in Prianshi Sharma’s childhood when she was captivated by a house’s design, igniting her passion for architecture. Graduating in architecture in 2006, she founded Designclusives in 2015, specializing in interiors, landscape, residences, and commercial offices.
Recently, Prianshi undertook a new project, Satwalekars Dental clinic, for a couple from a family of doctors, establishing a dental hospital in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, alongside their existing clinic in the old city. Retaining the design essence of the old city while incorporating the lush green landscape of Jubilee Hills posed a unique challenge, which she navigated smoothly, thanks to the clear vision of her clients.
One notable design choice was addressing a long wall without resorting to traditional art pieces. Instead, she introduced contemporary arches, further enhanced by her innovative scallop wall with beautiful texture, adding character to the passage.
The doctor’s cabin, shared by the couple, doubles as a personal space for family and friends to gather. To differentiate it, they incorporated a large veneer wall, adding a touch of color and warmth. In contrast, the operatory rooms were designed for functionality, employing matte finish laminates and minimalistic artefacts to maintain a sterile environment.
For aspiring architects, Prianshi emphasizes the importance of practical knowledge gained through experience. While academia provides a foundation, real-world challenges require a different skill set. Choosing a reputable firm for hands-on learning is invaluable in honing one’s craft.
