Bio:

As a great Toronto-based residential designer, Suvetha embraces the multifaceted creativity of an Architect rooted in her home country. Rejecting the box of specialization, she designs, creates, captures and writes about architecture through the same creative lens.

​

How did you first learn about architecture and when did you decide that built environment profession was an area of interest for you?

As a kid I lived in a built environment carefully thought and designed by my grandfathers. They talked to me about why they did what they did and it gave me endless ways to imagine things as a kid and that grew into a professional interest as I grew.

 

What do you do?

I'm currently an Interior Designer - Residential

​

What excites you in the work you do?

To understand people; their lifestyle and design space around their life.

​

Who or what inspires you professionally?

Clients who come up with different lifestyles and backgrounds inspire me to be more creative with what I design.

​

What is your proudest professional accomplishment or achievement?

With an educational background from a different country and little to no connection in the city, being a part of the profession that I have been passionate about is something I'm proud of.

Featured Project Description:

Buried beneath unauthorized shops, a historic temple tank in Suvetha’s hometown remained invisible for years. These traditional water-harvesting structures are vital for urban groundwater, yet many are forgotten. Her  design revives this hidden relic, clearing its perimeter to transform a neglected cavity into a vibrant, culture-rich public space that reconnects the community with its heritage.
