AMPM Design Studio

Primarily focusing on residential projects, Poonam Mehta believes that a good design translates to pure joy and happiness. And as happiness should last forever, the design language that she employs is timeless in its nature.

Hailing from Chennai, Poonam comes with a background in psychology and holds a keen interest in delving deep into the effect of spatial design on human behaviour and feeling. With this strong foundation in human-centric design, she also brings a love for fusion to the table, often incorporating classic details with modern geometry. Her interpretation of luxury graces every project she does, including the ‘Royal Escape’ – a villa in Pune that conveys palatial grandeur through modest
scale. With allusions to classical elements, the spaces exalt indoor-outdoor living while bringing in old-world charm.

Working with solid materials, the right proportions and the perfect level of detailing is luxury to me.

On Conscious Design

For Poonam, a lot of sustainable design comes from simply working in an organised manner. Unnecessary mock ups, wastage of materials or labour, and speed in construction time are some of the often-overlooked methods of working sustainably. “Sustainability in designing luxury spaces is a bit complex,” she says, but they do their bit using strategies such as reusing furniture, valuing the intangible time as a resource and reducing carbon footprints.

Looking Forward

When asked about her dream project, Poonam mentions the refurbishment of an old heritage property – which would allow her to fully immerse herself in crafting new luxury from vintage vibes.
