Ishwara Designs: A Blend of Artistry, Functionality, and Innovation in Interior Design Founded in 2015 by Samyuktha Dandu, Ishwara Designs has carved a distinguished identity in the world of interior design. As the Proprietor and Chief Designer, S. Dandu brings a distinctive vision marked by creativity, empathy, and meticulous attention to detail. With a Diploma in Interior Design from Hamstech Institute and a Master’s in Computer Applications from Andhra University, she combines artistic flair with a strategic and technical foundation, enabling her to deliver design solutions that are both visionary and functional. Since its inception, the firm has focused on delivering comprehensive, end-to-end turnkey design services—transforming concepts into reality. With a strong belief in the emotional resonance of spaces, she and her team work closely with clients, ensuring that each project is reflective of their individual aspirations and lifestyle. This personalized approach, coupled with the use of advanced design tools, strategic planning, and seamless communication, has established the firm as a trusted name for both commercial and residential spaces. One of the standout projects by the firm is RAASTA, a 16,737 sq ft Caribbean-themed lounge bar located in Knowledge City, Hyderabad. Designed and executed in just three and a half months, this vibrant venue embodies the free spirit of Bob Marley and the Rastafarian culture. The eclectic design includes a sculpted onyx bar counter, a hand-crafted pillar shaped into a tropical tree, and a sandstone map of the Caribbean islands specially crafted in Rajasthan. The use of reggae-inspired art, a state-of-the-art acoustic system with 7-layer ceiling treatment, and a 10×12-foot screen creates a multisensory experience. The project’s success is attributed to the firm’s commitment to transparent communication, timely execution, and alignment with the client’s vision. Another notable project is Abana – Club and Kitchen, located in Gachibowli, Hyderabad. Themed around the concept of ‘STONE’, this high-energy lounge was completed within one and a half months (excluding certain installations). With a golden 20-foot-high bar counter clad in natural stone sheets, a hand-carved reception area, and a rock-style performance stage, the space exudes a bold and modern aesthetic. Functional planning was a key focus—ensuring visibility of the stage and screen from all corners, and optimizing the kitchen layout for efficient service. Artistic elements include abstract artworks by renowned artists and rustic outdoor settings accentuated with tropical landscaping. The firm has also made a significant mark in corporate design through its work for T-Hub, Asia’s largest innovation center. The experience center designed by Ishwara Designs was selected over submissions from several leading firms. The all-white immersive space leverages advanced technology—AI, AR, VR, and floating LED screens—to present over 250 startup products in an engaging format. Key elements include a futuristic curved ceiling, transparent LED screens for virtual conferencing, seamless Korean white tables for product displays, and digital information systems that eliminate the need for human assistance. The center offers an unmatched virtual and physical experience, embodying innovation in every detail. On the residential front, the firm continues to work extensively in Hyderabad’s high-end communities, designing villas and apartments that reflect a fine balance of aesthetics and functionality. Each space is thoughtfully curated with attention to spatial flow, lighting, and personalization—ensuring that artistic sensibilities align with practical living requirements. With a team of highly skilled craftsmen, artists, technicians, and vendors, S. Dandu continues to set new benchmarks in the design industry. Ishwara Designs stands not only as a design firm but as a curator of living experiences—where every space tells a unique story of its inhabitants.
