Studio and founder profile

Pooja Bihani, B.Arch, IIA, COA, IIID, is the founder and principal architect of Spaces and Design in Kolkata. She set up the studio in 2006 to offer end-to-end turnkey architecture and interior design services for residences, workspaces, and lifestyle spaces.

Studio vision

Spaces and Design was established with the intent to create environs that epitomise harmony, aesthetics, and optimum functionality, thereby enriching the life of the users in their habitat. A strong believer of giving each project its own identity, Pooja works within the mandates of the site, budget, and the clients’ lifestyle and needs. These form the robust framework that drives her well-honed design and execution process.

Design ethos

The concept of ‘Interior Architecture’ underpins every design endeavour by Spaces and Design. The studio is renowned for integrating architecture and interiors to create an inviting ‘inside-out’ experience. Based on simple circulation plans, the spaces flow into each other, highlighting the studio’s inherent style of capturing the beauty of simplicity and symmetry.

The scope of Spaces and Design is unrestrained. Swinging from heritage Indian to Nordic styles, and often creating bespoke design details and wall art, Pooja believes in adding character and exclusivity to each project.
