It is a given that different clients have different wants and needs. But today an interesting discussion led me down another chain of thought - don't different clients also have different aesthetics and tastes, which is an integral part what makes the end product so unique everytime.
It is a clearly understood at Sandarbh that space planning is Sai's thing and interiors are what Leena does best. But beyond this comes the third part of built space - the aesthetic of the client. It is what essentially makes the space theirs. And this aesthetic changes from person to person too - I may be in love with a certain light fixture that you might think is completely weird or you might prefer a shade of curtains that I would never even dream of. These differences always pose an interesting challenge to us as architects. We don't just understand the clients needs and preferences but also their tastes and do our best to combine these in a space. Some clients have a very clear idea of what they want, while some others are not so sure. In these cases we step in with suggestions, ideas and images to share. This entire process helps to take us (the architect) and the client (the end user of the space) a little bit closer to the idea of a space that both looks and feels good!
