Architecture shapes how the mind rests, moves, and remembers.

Led by architect and designer Shweta Kaw, Studio Meraki creates architecture and interiors for hospitality and selective residential commissions.

The work brings together spatial psychology, building-performance thinking, and a close understanding of how people arrive, rest, move, and remember.

Studio

Studio Meraki is built around a quieter ambition: to create spaces that settle the mind before they seek attention.

Each commission is led by Shweta Kaw, with architecture and interiors considered as one continuous experience—from the first reading of the brief through design development and realisation.

Projects are shaped through proportion, light, material behaviour, spatial hierarchy, and deliberate subtraction. The aim is not visual drama, but a continuity of experience that feels composed over time.

Shweta’s training at the National University of Singapore, where she was awarded the Gold Medal in MSc Building Performance & Sustainability, continues to inform the studio’s attention to comfort, longevity, and how spaces perform in use.

Her practice also extends into KAW, a separate sculptural house exploring limited-edition forms, material presence, and memory.

Work

The work is not arranged around scale, typology, or style. It is arranged around what each space must hold.

Movement, pause, privacy, attention, comfort and daily use shape the decisions; the result is often quiet, but never passive.

Hospitality

Zone Connect by The Park, Katra

In Katra’s crowded pilgrimage-hotel belt, this building creates a quieter kind of landmark — one shaped around rest, orientation, and relief rather than visual noise.

Rooms turn toward the mountains, while daylight, gardens, and controlled façade elements create comfort without decorative excess.

Exhibition

Desert Tranquility Exhibition, Greater Noida

Created for the International Hospitality Expo, Desert Tranquility turns a compact hotel-room mock-up into a complete retreat shaped by warmth, softness, and mental repose.

Desert tones, curved forms, natural textures, and quiet lighting create an atmosphere that feels immersive without becoming theatrical.

Residential

Villa at Jaypee Greens, Greater Noida

Designed as a weekend getaway for relaxation and family time, the villa avoids overstimulation in favour of ease, lightness and calm.

Natural textures, soft colours, planted elements, and crafted details bring the landscape inward without making the home feel ornate or demanding.

Healthcare

Hospital Waiting Lounge, Greater Noida

The project uses an ocean-led palette to soften the anxiety often associated with hospital waiting.

Marine tones, fluid forms, clearer seating, and reduced visual pressure create a calmer arrival experience for patients, families, and visitors.

Commercial Workspace

Workwings Co-working, Noida

Workwings was redesigned to give a linear workplace a more memorable social and recreational core.

Without structural changes, the top floor was transformed through colour, softer forms, and distinct zones for work, pause, play, reading, fitness, and informal exchange.

Commercial Workspace

RISEOO Global Office Headquarters, Noida

RISEOO’s India office was refurbished through selective interventions that turned the company’s identity into spatial experience rather than surface branding.

The infinity loop, phoenix references, purple-white palette, tailored furniture and wall art give the workplace a distinct character without overwhelming the existing shell.

Process

The process begins by understanding what a place must do for the people who will inhabit it.

  1. 01

    Listen

    Begin with the people, purpose, operational needs, and the feeling the place should hold.

  2. 02

    Read

    Study context, climate, movement, light, and patterns of use before deciding what form should follow.

  3. 03

    Shape

    Develop architecture and interiors as one experience, from arrival through occupation and pause.

  4. 04

    Resolve

    Carry the central idea through proportion, material, detail, and design coordination.
