Designs are not just for footing an impression on guest, but also something which affect mood and health. A synchronized and comfortable space makes you feel revitalized and enthusiastic. Don't just ignore it.


With this thought Ar. Jagdish Mistry entered into the world of architecture and design. Architecture is not just his profession but also his passion. He says, "It's in my blood, of course not genetic but acquired, I love my job." He feels that he has been lucky to get good clients who not only value his work but also infuse zeal in him by the acknowledgement and a simple thank you.

His design philosophy is firmly rooted in the belief that success is the result of the collaboration of good design & strategic planning. The study of people's well-being lays the foundation for the strategic planning and design. He begins with: Life, then Space, and Finally Buildings. Everything the firm produces from buildings to an interior space is characterized by its legibility. Ar. Mistry's designs are innovative; they often surprise but are always precisely tuned to the requirements of the client. Being in the profession for around 30 years he has a flavor of almost everything. He has an ability to read client's mind which he has gained from his experience over the years. This helps him to customize things as per clients' aspirations.

He apprises, "As this profession demands to walk with time, I keep brushing up my knowledge with current trends and style and the contours to enhance it and not geographically restricted. I do equip myself with styles from Italy and London to Rajasthan and Tamil Naidu. I feel that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and that inspiration and ideas can be catered from everywhere. It's on an individual to take it. What inspires me is the aura around me and appreciation I get from my clients, i.e. single token of 'thank you' inspires me to walk star mile."

He says, "I haven't drawn any parameters for my design. I will just like to excel and reach at the helm of my profession. Having served nationally, I wish to take India's sacrosanct style across the globe. The purity and simplicity of India needs to be showcased to the world from the right platform and I wish to be the part of that platform. For that, I have already taken an initiative in the name of ALM INSTITUTE, which helps under privileged students to transform their dreams into reality. It is the beginning; we have a long way to go with ALM (for more details on courses and admissions, kindly visit: www.almtech.org)."
