A woman and her journey towards building a design legacy
Classic forms of art have always been a significant part of planning and design in India. Right from the Indus Valley Civilization to the Colonial era, the country's architecture has been created with a mix of inspiration from different foreign elements to our very own ethos.
So, what new is being brought to the table then?
Monica Uberoi, with her team of architects and interior designers, is crafting comprehensive projects that truly reflect her sensibilities towards society, culture and environment. Under the umbrella of her firm SPACES, she is creating designs that embody a modern outlook with a traditional undertone. She believes that a building and its interiors should reflect the owner's personality. Accordingly, her designs are a perfect blend of classical concepts and innovative ideas tailor-made for the modern era.
As Principal Architect of SPACES, she leads a group of architects, interior designers, engineers and Vaastu experts who collaborate and coordinate, taking projects from concept to completion. Starting with master planning, strategies are formed to optimize every part of the layout. Architectural design includes drawings and 3D views that help with visualization. Interior design embraces elements like false ceiling, wall décor, fixed and movable furniture, kitchen & wardrobe details, lighting design, soft furnishings, material survey & sourcing and colour mood boards. These are integrated with the original impression, devising a virtual walkthrough before execution. Renovation and Vaastu services allow her to swap the inconsistent aspects for the seamless ones. Her motto - "Make it simple but significant" is evident in every assignment delivered. The work echoes a simple yet sophisticated appeal.
Monica has time and again been lauded for her exceptional work and outstanding professional contribution. As a woman of substance, she has clearly demonstrated the distinctive qualities which a leader should possess. She has been celebrated as one of the country's change-makers, pouring incredible potential among women entrepreneurs.
Following an exemplary rise, SPACES was awarded the title for "The Best Interior Design Firm in Delhi" at the Praxis Media Awards in March 2020. For her own contributions, she was amongst the top nominees for 'The Women Leadership Awards' on International Women's Day 2020.
