HI THERE, WE ARE MINUS DESIGNS AND

I AM MALIHA AHMED


It took me years and years of design practice to realize the value that an architect is supposed to add to the lives of people. It is of luxury. But not a luxury of objects, but rather a luxury of spaces. ‘Financial affordability’ must not be assumed as a prerequisite for obtaining good design. It is not about acquiring the most expensive item from the market, it is carving out a space that is inherently luxurious.

It is the obligation of the client to disclose how they wish to see, feel, experience and use the space they are getting designed. But it remains the obligation of only the architect to use the site, the climate, the sun and shadows, the wind and draft, and conjure something truly exceptional, truly priceless.

And that is what drives the team of Minus Designs- to take every opportunity for creating a product or a space and turn it into a melting pot of form and functionality. Minus Designs is an endeavor emerging from the will to design spaces holistically- keeping lifestyles, climate, material, costs and context in mind.

For beautiful spaces are timeless.
