Arriva Designs highlights Gen Z's emphasis on personalised, emotionally connected spaces, where designs reflect individuality and stories. 'We curate spaces that feel lived-in and full of character,' said Aniruddha Nafrey, founder of Arriva Designs.
Rajkumar Architects acknowledges the bold, expressive aesthetics and minimalism favoured by Gen Z. This generation embraces a mix of futurism, nostalgia, and clarity in design.

Studio B Architects embraces Gen Z's values of inclusivity and social responsibility. 'Designs now focus on creating inclusive experiences for everyone,' said Anil Badan, founder of Studio B Architects.
