Our Expertise
Namita Srivastava is the Founder and Principal Architect & Interior Designer of Design Play. Namita epitomises the idea that good design impacts us in the most subtle ways. She holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Dr. D.Y. Patil College of Architecture, Nerul, Navi Mumbai (1998 passout) and draws inspiration from designers such as Charles Correa, Laurie Baker, Nari Gandhi, B.V.Doshi and Raj Rewal.
Prior to founding Design Play, Namita has worked for 18 years in Mumbai and Ahmedabad with renowned architectural firms like Mandviwala Qutub & Associates and Apurva Amin Architects. Believing that “Teaching is Learning too”, she has also worked as a Lecturer at Dr. D.Y. Patil College of Architecture, Nerul, Navi Mumbai during initial phase of her career.
Namita believes in creating spaces that are functional, comfortable, and relatable. In her words – “a good design should be both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional, and I strive to achieve this balance in all of my creative endeavors”.
Her Design style contains a mix of Contemporary, Indian Traditional and Minimalistic Modern design, which she calls COT-MOD. According to her, COT-MOD is the millennial’s design, where a person can get the comfort of minimalistic modern design with basic Indian touch and contemporary flair in it. Namita is particularly interested in using color and pattern to create a sense of warmth and vitality in her designs, and she often incorporate natural elements and locally-sourced materials in order to create a sense of relevance and context.
Namita is a firm believer in the power of teamwork and uses her spectrum of skills to provide clients with exceptional solutions that constantly evolve to adapt to their various needs.
She always wanted to have the freedom to experiment and play with designs for making her client’s dreams come true and this inspired her to start her own Architecture and Interior Design Studio, Design Play.
