Raja’s father, who is a Civil Engineer and contractor, has been his inspiration. Watching his construction designs during those growing up years has itself encouraged him to take up this profession. His parents stood by his decision to choose architecture as a specialisation subject to pursue. Every good work comes with some challenges whether it is your first day of college, your first day at office or the idea of setting up your own business. But a true warrior faces every challenge, learns from it and starts working with dogged determination. The same thing applies to a dedicated entrepreneur. They are bold and brave individuals who overcome any obstacle gracefully. They look into the issues, understand them and try to solve them with the best solution. Expanding the business and managing employees is a big struggle that Raja faced as a young entrepreneur during those initial years.
According to Raja, the opportunity in the market for an architect is all about providing quality service of creating a functional environment for clients with a variety of needs and wants. Having a passion for understanding about different types of people and cultures further helps fuel the process. Out of all the projects that he has done in his career, the interior Decor of Sunder Homes is closest to his heart. His first G+6 floors, an individual residential project in Hyderabad. Listening to clients in order to fully appreciate what they want from an architect is fundamental – it is the essential first step in a productive working relationship.
Experienced practitioners commonly would point to the very beginning of a project as being the stage where clear communication between client and architect is vital. It is here that the architect’s experience, design skills and ingenuity can add value to a project. To all the budding architects, he has some practical piece of advice – Design begins with a concept. Matthew writes in his book Architecture resides in the DNA of a building… It is in the DNA of the application. From text to photography to the simplest webform, they are all part of the experience of the same user, and the interaction designer’s job is to make it all one experience. The design process should be in the ‘DNA’ of the whole product.
