G Design Studio: Innovative Solutions for the Built Environment
Ar. Gabriel & Ar. Govarthanam started G Design Studio (www.gdesignstudio.co.in) with the idea of positively shaping the culture, commerce and people’s life through pioneering solutions for the built environment. This is the key which drives them in their eternal search for design innovation. GDS quotes out the philosophy as riveting the core ideals of creating sensitive spaces that respond and inspire.
Based in Tamil Nadu, GDS was founded in 2014 and it currently has its base in Coimbatore and a supporting base in Chennai. The team aims to render their service across all major cities in India. The Practice emphasizes design solutions that are relevant to their context, as well as to international trends that amply serve their functions and are aesthetically pleasing.
Their designs are rooted in their collaborations with clients at every phase – towards the benefit of the project and the client’s satisfaction. With an adaptive and enthusiastic work environment, GDS crafts effective and ingenious solutions through meaningful dialogue with its clients and team.
The palette of the firm is strong and rich with the planning of large format spaces like apartments, group housings and urban intervention. They also hold up the credit of handling interiors and architectural massing with caliber craftsmanship and deliberation to detail.
GDS is a design-centric organization with the utmost care for details. It emphasizes design solutions that are relevant to their context, as well as to international trends that amply serve their functions and are aesthetically pleasing. With over a decade of experience in the industry, GDS has always vouched for designs which are personalized towards the client’s individual needs and innovative designs backed by rigorous engineering, coordination and timely delivery.
Maintaining a strong reputation, staying current with industry trends, and building strong relationships with clients and collaborators is the only thing that the team focuses on for the long-term success of the business.
Their inspiration comes from the fact that architecture can be a rewarding profession that requires both technical skills and creative vision. Passion for design and creativity, and a desire to make a positive impact on the built environment, were one of the factors that formed a firm base for GDS. By starting their own business, Ar. Gabriel & Ar Govarthanam have more control over the types of projects they work on, the work schedule, and the overall direction of their career.
Being a first-generation entrepreneur, Ar. Gabriel & Ar. Govarthanam had to face problems like a lack of experience in the field and financial challenges that were beyond their solving capacity. Also, they had to overcome cultural barriers or biases that make it more difficult to gain acceptance or establish credibility in the chosen industry. Being creative, persistent, resourceful and building a strong network of mentors and clients provided guidance and support throughout the journey.
As Architects, they imagine that each project the team works on has its unique challenges and rewards and that each one holds a special place in their hearts in its way. The founders strongly believe that sustainable and green architecture is a growing trend in the industry, and for good reason. As concerns about climate change and resource depletion become more urgent, architects and builders are increasingly focused on creating buildings that are environmentally responsible and sustainable.
Overall, the trend towards sustainable and green architecture is a positive development for the industry and society as a whole. By creating buildings that are environmentally responsible and sustainable, architects and builders can help to create a more resilient and livable world for future generations.
They focus on people-oriented design. The aim is to develop sound solutions that remain a positive contribution to the built environment. Their designs are rooted in their collaborations with clients at every phase – towards the benefit of the project and the client’s satisfaction. Their success is evident in the number of clients who continue to associate with them on their multiple undertakings.
Team GDS ensures extensive drawing support for all their projects. Every decision is well documented and carried out at the site with a full set of documents and details. This helps the contractors and their clients to save time and monitor progress. They strive in creating a sense of harmony and an aesthetic environment.
A message from Ar. Gabriel & Ar. Govarthanam to budding entrepreneurs is: “Good artists copy; great artists steal.” Said Pablo Picasso. Of course, the idea of “stealing” ideas is not meant to be taken literally – it is not about plagiarizing or copying the work of others. Rather, it is about being open to new ideas and influences and using them to create something that is uniquely your own. As young minds, we tend to inspire and admire a lot of styles but the design style should never miss out on our originality.
