The work process at ARS-IDEA begins with a thorough analysis and the creation of concepts tailored to our clients' needs. Step by step, our specialists turn ideas into real projects using modern tools and technologies. All work is conducted under the guidance of our visionary CEO and inspirational leader, Arsen Kostyshyn.

Big news! I just published a new blog post on my website: How to Capture Top Architectural Trends in 2024.

Whether you’re an architect, interior designer, or just curious about what’s next in the world of design, I think you’ll find it helpful (and maybe even inspiring!).

When we think about office spaces, we often picture something rigid and confining, which can make us feel boxed in and overwhelmed by clutter. For our recently completed project, SONAI INFRASTRUCTURE PRIVATE LIMITED, we aimed to address these concerns directly. We incorporated partitions with concealed storage to maintain a clean and organized environment. The aluminium baffles suspended above the corridor help define the pathway, and their perpendicularity along the linear passage adds visual control to the volume, effectively creating distinct zones within the space. To promote transparency and encourage a productive work environment, we introduced our innovative double glass partition and door system, fabricated in-house for this project. These elements contribute to the space’s unique identity. Additionally, our color scheme, including shades like Coral Red, Sandstone Beige, Earthy Brown, Deep Teal, and Golden Amber, plays a key role in enhancing the office’s overall character. // Here’s a sneak peek of some architectural details. // Team : Milind Rode, Rutuja Rode, Sanika Dharmadhikari, Ar.

What to consider when doing office CGI When doing a 3D render for an office space, it's crucial to consider the mood and atmosphere. A night scene for an office space is a big no-no. Since people primarily work during the day, depicting an interior space in an evening scene would be counterproductive. The space should be bathed in natural light, where possible, to create a sense of calmness. The right props in the scene play a significant role in emphasising the use of the space, providing reassurance and confidence about what to expect from this particular interior. Remember, your client's culture should be reflected in your design, and a good CGI can help achieve this, making your design a winner.  #office #cgi #render #3d #3drender #archviz #coronarender #3dsmax #3dvisualisation #interior #interiordesign #architecture #designer #design

This week, I revisited Darragh OBrien's timeless essay on stairs, inspired by A. A. Milne’s poignant poem “Halfway Down the Stairs.” Both pieces beautifully illuminate the poetic potential of stairs, not merely as functional structures but as spaces brimming with possibility. Milne’s words remind us of those in-between moments, where stairs become a place to pause, reflect, or connect, free from the constraints of “here” or “there.”   O’Brien captures this magic, describing stairs as unique spaces where creativity unfolds and connections spark. In the workplace, intertenancy stairs embody this potential. They’re not just pathways for movement, they’re catalysts for interaction, places where conversations happen, ideas take shape, and relationships deepen. They’re hubs of possibility and collaboration.   At Active Metal, we embrace this vision. Through thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted interconnecting stairs, we help organisations elevate their workplaces, literally and figuratively. Our stairs are more than architectural elements, they are platforms for human connection, opportunities for unplanned encounters, and symbols of collaboration and innovation.   If this vision resonates with you, or if you’re curious about how interconnecting stairs could transform your space, I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out to me or the team, we're here to discuss how we can help you create a workplace that fosters meaningful connections and collaboration.   Thank you again to Darragh for the thoughtful perspective. 🙏 https://lnkd.in/gN5a569Z Photo Credit: Client | Endeavour Energy (NSW) Interior Designer | WMK Architecture Builder | Built.

At its core, architecture is more than just designing buildings or creating spaces; it’s an intricate dance between function and form, structure and imagination. For many, it is a gateway to the vast and varied world of creative expression. Once you enter the field, it's difficult not to be inspired by the endless possibilities beyond architecture. The skills and perspectives gained through architectural training often spark new creative interests, paving the way to explore and excel in various other artistic disciplines. Architecture naturally requires a blend of disciplines. Architects must simultaneously think like artists, engineers, psychologists, and storytellers. Balancing the technical with the creative prepares architects to explore and thrive in other artistic fields. The careful consideration of proportion, color, material, and space within architecture shares common ground with the principles guiding graphic design, furniture making, and fashion design. It’s no wonder that once an architect gets a taste of this, the allure of applying these principles to other creative disciplines becomes irresistible. What starts as a passion for architecture often evolves into a lifelong journey through various creative landscapes. The skills and perspectives you gain while developing this craft of architecture can be the catalyst for exploring a wide range of artistic pursuits. Architecture is the gateway drug for creatives-once you get a taste, you'll find yourself drawn to being a graphic designer, DJ, furniture maker, fashion designer, or anything that satisfies that creative itch. I have a personal passion for graphic design and creating event flyers. I frequently use techniques from design school, such as precedent studies, when crafting a party flyer or logo. So, if you’ve ever felt that irresistible pull to explore other creative avenues to scratch that itch, know that you’re not alone. Architecture has a way of expanding your horizons and fueling a desire to create in ways you might never have imagined. It’s more than just a profession; it’s a portal to a world where creativity knows no bounds. And once you get a taste, there’s no telling where your creative journey will take you.

Sometimes, the best way to plan for the future is to start by appreciating the creativity of the past. This year’s best design books lean heavy on optimism, which is ironic, given the state of…well, everything else. But maybe that’s why they feel so necessary. We don’t just need good design; we need good vibes. And these books deliver, whether it’s through playful colors, bold ideas, or a look at what could have been (looking at you, unbuilt architecture). Take The Architecture of Urbanity by Vishaan Chakrabarti. It's a manifesto for building communities with joy and nature in mind. If cities are stressful, Chakrabarti clearly didn’t get the memo. Then there’s Alexander Girard: Let the Sun In, which reminds us mid-century design wasn’t all cold glass and steel. It had personality—bright, wildly optimistic, and just a touch chaotic. Kind of like your eccentric artist friend who calls wine “grape juice.” On the flipside, there’s Atlas of Never Built Architecture. Because sometimes, the best buildings are the ones that don’t exist—less maintenance, zero commute. These are gorgeous, speculative dreams you can get lost in, and honestly, why not? For the history buffs, The Complete Commercial Artist dives into Japan’s 1928-1930 design scene. It’s proof that good design ages better than most of us. And if you’re existential about art and museums, Building Culture lets you peek into the minds of architects shaping how we experience art. Spoiler alert: It’s a lot of overthinking, but in a good way. Perhaps the deepest cut comes from Cheryl D. Miller’s Here: Where the Black Designers Are. It’s part memoir, part manifesto, and wholly necessary—a reminder of how much work still remains in making design reflect the world it exists in. These books are more than eye candy. They’re soul snacks. Read them to feel inspired or just impress your houseguests. Either way, design saves the day again.
