Practice Ideology
SMASH Studios is a Hyderabad-based collaborative design firm, founded in 2021 by Anish Noone, Snehitha Reddy, and Sohail Shaik. Each founder brings a unique set of strengths and experiences, making diversity the firm’s greatest asset-fueling innovation, creativity, and fresh perspectives! The firm thrives on versatility, taking on architectural and interior projects of all scales and typologies- whether it’s a cozy family residence, group housing, institutional spaces, commercial hubs, retail, or hospitality. A narrative unfolds with each project, shaped by cultural and regional contexts, and climate-conscious design, all woven into a timeless yet contemporary framework.
Design Philosophy: At SMASH Studios, we believe design is more than just form and function- it’s about creating experiences. Understanding our clients’ distinct requirements, using them as the foundation, we develop zoning and spatial planning, by thoughtfully positioning the furniture to create uninterrupted flow, fostering engagement and connectivity among the users.
At our core, we believe that cultural and traditional influences are integral to shaping spaces that feel familiar and meaningful. We draw inspiration from the essence of traditional elements, weaving them into a contemporary setting to create spaces that feel both timeless and relevant. By embracing cultural influences, we enhance functionality, while nurturing a deep sense of belonging.
We take cues from the existing building lines and thereby design the space, honouring it, resulting in a harmonious whole. To us, spaces are more than volume—they are living expressions of our values, emotions, and heritage.
