Form & HueWhat we do
What we design
A restaurant needs a kitchen that works, lighting that flatters and furniture that survives service. A home needs storage, daylight and Vastu thought through at plan stage. We handle each of these in the same studio, so no discipline is added as an afterthought.

Process
How a project runs
Ten stages, from the first meeting to handover. The plan beside them develops the way a real one does: boundary, walls, furniture, finishes, services, then the finished space.
02 / UNDERSTAND
Understand
We study the space.
Site visits, measurements, existing conditions, opportunities and constraints become the foundation of the design.
03 / PLAN
Plan
We make the space work.
We decide where each room goes, how people will move between them and how every space will be used, before we start on the look and feel.
04 / DESIGN
Design
We give the idea a visual identity.
Concept development, colour palettes, materials, textures, furniture language and design elements define the character of the space.
05 / VISUALISE
Visualise
See it before it is built.
Through 3D modelling and realistic visualisations, you experience the proposed space before execution begins.
06 / DETAIL
Detail
Good design lives in the details.
Working drawings, furniture details, ceiling plans, electrical coordination, material specifications, elevations and execution details are developed.
07 / SELECT
Select
Every material has a role.
We assist with the selection of materials, finishes, colours, furniture, lighting, fixtures and other design elements.
08 / EXECUTE
Execute
From drawing to reality.
Our site and execution teams work alongside the design team to translate the approved design into the built environment.
09 / COORDINATE
Coordinate
One point of contact for all contractors.
We coordinate with vendors, contractors, craftsmen and consultants, so the work on site matches the approved design and site issues are solved quickly.
10 / HANDOVER
Handover
Seeing it come alive.
All pending small fixes are completed, the space is cleaned and styled, and we walk you through every room before handing over the keys.

Client notes
What clients said
These notes come from clients whose projects Ar. Renuka Desai led at Box Studio, before Form & Hue.
Client note 01 / 04
As we were planning to build a lavish bungalow, we were looking out for a good architect. A well renowned businessman from Pune who happens to be our family friend suggested us about Box Studio. Once we saw their work and they presented their ideas to us, we were sure about them. We were so impressed that we gave the interior designing as well to them.
