Reinventing neutral schemas in interior design| What Ankon Mitra does to overcome his creative block| Restraint in design| and more

Dear Reader,

Knowing when to stop is an art in addition to being a carefully honed skill. Our cover story this week speaks of this restraint as one observes the studied strokes of material play and spatial planning. The balance of public and private spaces as well as the treatment of neutral tones is laudable to say the least. Do check out this project – once again from a young design studio, this time from Surat.

This week, we also introduce a new series – ‘My go-to Therapist’ where architects, designers and artists will share that “something” that helps them relax and rejuvenate, when they face a creative block. We have all heard of the writer’s block. Well, not just writers but designers and architects too face this block – moments or periods of intense creative sterility that they need to overcome before they can make a fresh beginning again. In this series, the creatives will tell you how they bounce back from the creatives’ block; about their “go-to therapists”! We begin with Ankon Mitra – architect, landscape designer, origami artist… and, he tells us what more…

Enjoy the issue…

Warmly,

Savitha Hira
