The corporate environment exposed me to a plethora of opportunities. I handled projects right from the stage of designing derivatives to the finalization of GFCs. The work ranged from understanding client requirements, incorporating them in the design proposals, studying existing site conditions and conducting site visits. I was confined to timely submissions and we as a team made sure that they were sent out to the clients on time.

Architectural derivation at Sweven Studio is channelized by art and further evaluated through models. I was exposed to handle small & large scale projects along with on-site supervision & construction techniques. I also learned much about professional values and their approach towards architectural projects i.e. coordinating with an authorized person, electrical and structural engineer. Understanding the basis of their design.
