Ar Shruti Jain
Founder
Ikshana Designs was founded in 2021, emerging from the rich professional journey of Shruti Jain, its founder, who has over 16 years of experience in architecture across Jaipur, Delhi, Pune, and Ahmedabad.
“The firm was born out of my deep-rooted passion for sustainable and functional design, influenced by years of exposure to diverse architectural typologies, especially in the healthcare sector. We integrate energy-efficient and eco-conscious principles into every project to ensure that architecture not only enhances lifestyles but also gives back to nature”, shares Shruti.
The firm offers a comprehensive range of services, including architectural design, interior design, landscape planning (in collaboration with experts), and turnkey solutions. From residential bungalows and commercial spaces to specialized healthcare facilities, Ikshana focuses on creating spaces that are both functional and aesthetically refined. It also extends services, including concept creation, material selection, site supervision, and design advisory.
Crafting Timeless Personalized Spaces
At Ikshana Designs, concept creation forms the foundation of every project. The firm believes that a design should be a true reflection of the people who inhabit it by resonating with their personality, values, and long-term aspirations. To achieve this, each project begins with an in-depth interaction process, engaging not only with the primary client but also with all stakeholders who will occupy the space. In residential projects, this includes the entire family, from grandparents to young children, ensuring that the needs
and lifestyles of every generation are understood and represented. In commercial or institutional spaces, the dialogue extends to partners, employees, and leadership, aligning the design with the organization's vision and potential growth.
Ikshana Designs approaches every concept with foresight, envisioning how spaces will adapt over five to ten years as the occupants’ needs evolve. This approach allows for designs that accommodate expansion and flexibility without compromising aesthetics or comfort. The team invests significant time in the conceptual phase, avoiding rushed outputs, and instead focuses on deeply understanding each user’s expectations, habits, and aspirations. The result is a timeless, personalized design language that balances practicality with emotional resonance.
Innovating with Intelligent Technology
Ikshana Designs seamlessly integrates modern technology into its architectural and interior design practices to enhance sustainability, efficiency, and client satisfaction. The firm actively embraces emerging AI tools to streamline design processes, reduce turnaround time, and optimize resource utilization, ensuring cost effectiveness for both the client and the team.
“We continually explore innovative construction materials and techniques that improve structural performance while minimizing environmental impact”, informs Shruti. Similarly, advancements in facade systems and elevational materials are incorporated to achieve aesthetic appeal with energy-efficient outcomes. This allows the firm to accelerate project timelines and reinforce environmentally responsible and forward-thinking design solutions that align with the needs of a dynamic, modern world.
Transforming Small Spaces Remarkably
One of Ikshana Designs’ most memorable projects involved the interior transformation of a compact apartment that initially appeared to offer limited design potential. The clients were unsure of how much could be achieved within the constrained space, but Ikshana viewed it as an opportunity to push creative boundaries. Through meticulous space planning and innovative storage solutions, the firm maximized every inch of the apartment, turning challenges into design opportunities. Each corner was thoughtfully utilized to enhance functionality without compromising aesthetics, resulting in a clutter-free, spacious, and elegant home environment. This exceptional work not only delighted the clients by exceeding their expectations but also earned recognition from several reputed design magazines for its reputation for delivering intelligent and transformative design solutions even within spatial limitations.
The Way Ahead
Ikshana Designs is embarking on an inspiring new venture, which involves a daycare clinic project in Ahmedabad. The project focuses on converting an existing educational institute into a state-of-the-art healthcare facility, presenting both a creative and functional challenge. Moving beyond traditional, clinical aesthetics, Ikshana aims to design an environment that feels warm, comfortable, and reassuring for patients and visitors alike. The firm’s focus is on transforming the usual perception of healthcare settings into uplifting and healing environments. “What excites us most is the chance to redefine how people experience healthcare spaces, transforming them from clinical to comforting. Every element we design aims to enhance comfort, efficiency, and emotional well-being, creating environments that truly inspire trust and care”, concludes Shruti.
