Paris, Île-de-France, France
Architect and designer with over 20 years of experience creating spaces where beauty, spirituality, and sustainability converge. I founded SAKETSETHI Paris to bring a distinctive blend of Indian craftsmanship and contemporary European sensibility to architecture, interiors, and bespoke furniture. My work includes SUNOO Temple House — a landmark residential project on the outskirts of Mumbai featuring India's largest residential green roof and an egg-shaped garden temple, featured in Dezeen, ArchDaily, and Domus. From high-end residences to hospitality interiors and our bespoke furniture collection documented in "Architecture of Furniture," every project is driven by the belief that great design transforms how people live. Currently pursuing an Executive MBA at HEC Paris, where my research focuses on the future of design-build — exploring how architecture practices can evolve at the intersection of design thinking, business strategy, and sustainable innovation. Based in Paris, with deep roots in Mumbai. Open to collaborations, commissions, and conversations about the future of design. www.saketsethiparis.com | @saketsethiparis | [email protected]
