I'm Avi Agarwal

Hello!

Born in a country with rich culture & heritage, I have grown up encircled with diverse people & thoughts. With a deep passion for design, I have developed a strong belief in the power of functionality, sustainability, and aesthetics to shape our built environment.

Throughout my studies at IIT Kharagpur (India’s premier Institute for architectural design) and my professional experience as an architectural intern and freelancer in various countries, I have gained a broad understanding of the field and have come to value the importance of considering the social and cultural context of a space, as well as the technical and formal aspects of design. With a commitment to creating meaningful, functional spaces that respect the natural environment and enhance the lives of those who use them, I am excited to continue learning and growing as a designer.

Interiors require a great sense of materiality, lighting, and color palette. It's essential to understand the user's needs and translate them into a visual experience; this is what I learned from my collaboration with Infynite Style Studio as a 3-D visualizer. I worked on developing interiors and furniture designs for villas, residences, and apartments.

Architectural Intern, Alexis Dornier | 2022 | Bali, Indonesia
The studio's working culture allowed me to lead multiple projects as a full-time architect during my 6-months internship. I was involved in every project aspect, from sketching to final building construction. I appreciated and learned the complexity of every architectural project and contributed to projects from a scale of a tiny house to a resort development.

A 6-month internship program helped me explore various typologies, from a cabin to the football stadium.
