Gaurav Shahane studied architecture in India and specialized in Interior Design and Sustainability at Oxford Brookes University, United Kingdom. He was associated with CEPT University as a Research Architect before founding Orenda Studio in 2017.
Inspired by travel and a wide art historical canvas, Gaurav’s work is driven by an uncurbed curiosity to explore materiality and diverse artistic styles from classical to contemporary. Creating modern spaces with an eclectic twist through thoughtful and dynamic designs is his forte.
His designs are a thoughtful outcome of global and local trends in fashion, lifestyle, art, architecture, and history, which have led him to execute a wide-ranging palette of retail spaces, offices, restaurants, and residential projects. He describes his designs as ‘creative and playful.’
HOLY NAILS is a 2,000 sqft nail spa and beauty academy in Baner, Pune, designed by Orenda Studio. This space makes you feel like a Bollywood star once you enter inside. Designed to make clients feel like celebrities, this space speaks luxury in every corner. It contains a pedicure section, a nail art section which is the primary area, and an area dedicated to beauty treatments, while the major half of the area is the academy. Ar. Gaurav believes in making every space he designs aesthetically pleasing and super comfortable. Currently, the studio is working on various luxury interior projects in the hospitality, commercial, and residential sectors in Pune, Mumbai, and Nashik.
