Craftin’ Around
Here at PureSpaces we are very enthusiastic about doing up spaces; it would have been weird if we weren’t, right? Needless to say we love some change at PSHQ too, every now and then. We’re always on the lookout for all things within the studio that we can restyle.
Prepare for Takeoff
2018 involved a lot of travel. And now with a LOT of practice, we’ve mastered the art of packing our travel essentials in no time! Here’s what we absolutely cannot live without.
PS Travel Diaries: Tuscany
Italy has so much to offer and there’s only so much you can do at a time, if you’re not OD’ing on gelato then really, have you ever been?
Namaste from PureSpaces!
It’s been a tough year and yoga has been our saviour! We thought we would talk about some of the things that gets us through the day and yoga is definitely one of them.
All we want for Christmas is… not you #sorrynotsorry
We celebrate Christmas in a big way at PureSpaces. Between the German and Indian variants of us, our celebrations are like no other!
Passive-Aggressive
It’s cold and shiny and we wanted to introduce you to a material (more like technique) that we cant get enough off.
Dubai Finds: A Design Directory
95% of our job is not glamorous - long desk hours, endless traffic, grimy site visits, casual sexism - but once in a blue moon we get to be the ritzy glitzy people you think we are.
Sriracha: A hot & spicy evolution!
The day has finally come! We are very excited to launch Sriracha to the world. It was a fun but gruelling adventure that involved crashing tons of food tastings that we definitely did not need to attend (such a hard life!).
Diwali Gift Guide
We at PureSpaces celebrate the victory of light over darkness all day erryday. It’s our job to. Infact, we’ve even written about lights before. 'Tis the season to be jolly for £akshmi wa$ bo₹n and generally good trumps(lol) evil.
Inspiration Checklist Part 2
A few weeks ago we listed out our favourite books, blogs and magazines. As promised, we have added to our list so you can be eternally inspired. You’re welcome.
Design is the best medicine.
Today, we’re writing about something near and dear to us, something we get emotional about - design for good…design that saves the world.
BBM: Our Inspiration Checklist
If you’re thinking ‘wtf are they writing about blackberry messenger for’ then stfu, we’re not. Today we’re talking about where we get our design inspiration: Blogs, Books and Magazines.
Designing Details: Lippam (Independence Day Special)
It’s been a while since we’ve done a “Designing Details” post, so this one is dedicated to Krishna’s Indian heritage. We decided to focus of the very gujju craft of Lippam and celebrate it’s beauty, history and most importantly it’s purity from the evil greedy fingers of colonialism.
PS Travel Diaries: Singapore
Some of you may know that PureSpaces was working overseas for a substantial amount of time this year. While PS HQ was still churning out work as usual, Krishna’s desk moved across the ocean and as promised here we share her top tips to conquering Singapore with you!
A Girls Guide to Looking Profreshional
The stereotypical architect has a pretty distinct style (black turtle necks aren't so fun in Bangalore) and as Interior Designers, we get a little bit of creative leeway.
Moody Presentations
Every company has their own style, our’s is pretty fly (if I may say so myself). We thought we’d break it down for you and show you how we do things at PureSpaces.
Ladies Who Lunch
Before we made a concentrated effort to bring packed lunches to work, we 'ladies of leisure' ate out more often than we needed to. Foodies at heart, we made an effort to explore new menus or indulge in old favourites between client meetings and site visits and of course Entrée when we are feeling lazy.
PS Travel Diaries: Jaipur
Summer is upon us and we just cant help but throw back to Rajasthan. Krishna and I both went there during the cooler months last year and can’t help but overwhelm our Instagram feed with all the architecture and art we saw there.
Easter Chocolate Wish List
PureSpaces wishes everyone a Happy Easter! Not everyone in the office celebrates Easter and we may be divided in beliefs but we sure as hell are united in our Chocoholism.
App Mania
In this era of technology, we rather die than live without our phones. It’s sad to say it, but it’s true. Not the biggest technophiles, we have decided to make more of an effort with technology and really take advantage of it. No stigma attached, let’s embrace this period before we get too old to understand the latest update or the next generation condescendingly shows us how to teleport to meetings and most likely before robots destroy us.
