Atman: Ayurveda Healing Center
An introspective space and a sanctuary of rejuvenation and self-discovery, designed to help guide one on a journey of introspection, self-awareness, and healing through the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda
Ayurveda medicine is one of the oldest holistic healing systems in the world. It was developed in India over 3,000 years ago. It is based on the belief that health and well-being depend on a delicate balance between body, mind, and spirit. With this, my project aims to relieve one and all who seek a healing shelter for better versions of themselves.

DETAILED AREAS

Reception and Waiting Area
Inspired by the roots of Kerala, India, this reception and waiting area is seen to have a beautiful double height volume treated with elegant vertical teakwood frames to enhance the volume. Moreover, the overall ambiance speaks for itself that Ayurveda is all about warmth and peace.

Ayurvedic Spa Room
Kerala is the only state in India which practices this system of medication with complete devotion. The design follows a similar gist of the traditional kerala architecture, with the use of earthen color scheme of browns and brass.

The concept here combines the five elements that makes us: Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Ether (space). A crystal ball which is the focal element for meditatation is placed on four distinguished guided directions: North, South,east and West, based on the Vastu principles of the elements.
COVID-19 RESPONSIVE DESIGN
COVID-19 RESPONSIVE DESIGN
COVID-19 changed the world and our design approaches. Numerous hotels, public halls, and centers were turned into temporary shelters to attend to the surging cases. It brought along the increased demand for pieces of furniture to accommodate the huge number of people. This led Anant National University to devise design solutions for partitions and side tables in every shelter across India to provide comfort and ease to every patient.
DESIGN INTERNSHIP
At Arclain Design Studio, Ahmedabad, India
The most beautiful experience of my journey skilled me with design tools, visual thinking, and aiding connect with people. Working alongside passionate and talented designers allowed me to learn and grow in ways that I never thought possible. I was exposed to various design disciplines and gained hands-on experience working on real-world projects.
