2. Can Sthapati transform or renovate an existing space?
Absolutely.
Some of the most interesting design opportunities begin with existing spaces.
We undertake home renovations, office renovations and commercial interior transformations, carefully studying the existing structure and identifying how the space can be improved through better planning, materials, lighting and design interventions.
The objective is simple — to make your existing space work and feel significantly better.
3. How does the Sthapati design process work?
Every project begins with a conversation.
We first understand your space, requirements, expectations, timeline and approximate budget. Based on the project scope, our design process may include:
Understand → Explore → Plan → Design → Detail → Coordinate
From initial space planning to material selection and project coordination, each stage is developed with clarity and attention to the overall design vision.
4. Do you visit the site before starting a project?
Yes. We believe that a space needs to be experienced before it can be thoughtfully redesigned.
A site visit allows us to understand the dimensions, natural light, circulation, existing services and technical conditions of the space.
This helps us develop practical and site-responsive architectural and interior design solutions.
5. How much does an interior design project cost in Kolkata?
There is no single cost that applies to every interior project.
The cost of an interior design project depends on factors such as the area of the space, scope of
work, material choices, furniture requirements and level of customisation.
After an initial discussion and understanding of your project, Sthapati can define the appropriate scope of services and provide a project proposal.
Good design is not simply about spending more. It is about making thoughtful decisions about where and how to invest.
6. Can you design within my budget?
Yes.
Budget is an important part of the design conversation and we prefer discussing it at an early stage of the project.
Our approach is to prioritise design decisions and develop solutions that balance functionality, aesthetics and practical project requirements.
A clearly defined budget helps create a more focused and realistic design process.
7. How long does an interior design project take?
Every project has its own timeline.
A residential interior, commercial office or bank branch may require different levels of planning, detailing and coordination.
Once the project scope is understood, we develop an estimated project timeline and work schedule.
We believe that clear planning and communication are essential to maintaining project progress.
8. Can I hire Sthapati only for architectural or interior design consultancy?
Yes.
Not every client requires complete project involvement.
Sthapati offers architectural and interior design consultancy services based on the requirements of the project. The scope may include space planning, design development, design detailing, material guidance or project coordination.
The professional scope is clearly discussed before the project begins.
9. Will you help me choose colours, materials and finishes?
Of course.
Materials, colours, textures and lighting play an important role in defining the character of a space.
We help clients create a coordinated material and colour palette that complements the overall design concept while considering practicality and maintenance.
The aim is to create interiors that feel cohesive rather than simply decorated.
10. Will my ideas be included in the design?
Always.
We believe the best spaces emerge through meaningful collaboration between the client and the designer.
Your requirements, preferences and observations are an important part of our design process. Our role is to understand those ideas, refine them and translate them into a functional and visually balanced space.
Your space should feel like you — thoughtfully designed.
11. Do you follow current interior design trends?
We stay aware of evolving materials, technology and interior design trends, but we do not believe every trend belongs in every space.
Our focus is on creating designs that feel contemporary while remaining relevant and functional over time.
We prefer thoughtful design over temporary fashion.
12. Can Sthapati work with my existing contractor or vendors?
Yes.
Depending on the agreed project scope, we can coordinate with existing contractors, vendors and project teams to communicate design requirements and maintain design consistency.
Clear drawings, discussions and coordination help ensure that the design intent is properly
understood during execution.
13. Do you provide customised interior design solutions?
Yes. Customisation is at the heart of our design process.
Every site has different possibilities and every client has different needs.
We develop custom interior design and space planning solutions based on the project's function, context and character rather than repeating a standard design template.
No two spaces are identical. Their designs should not be either.
14. Where is Sthapati located and which areas do you serve?
Sthapati is an architecture and interior design consultancy based in Bidhannagar, Kolkata.
We undertake architectural, banking, commercial and residential interior projects depending on the project location, scale and scope of work.
For projects outside Kolkata, you can contact us with the project details to discuss the possibilities.
15. What should I share when contacting Sthapati about my project?
To help us understand your project, you can share:
- Project location
- Type of project
- Approximate area
- Current photographs of the space
- Existing drawings, if available
- Your approximate timeline
- A brief description of your requirements
You do not need to have everything figured out.
That is where the design conversation begins.
16. How do I start my project with Sthapati?
Simply get in touch.
