Rashika Chauhan (b. 1977) is an architect with a master's in Design. She is the proprietor of VIKRAMA Architecture and Design in Vadodara. She now has 19 years experience in the field of architecture and design. Chauhan specializes in residential projects and her range of work covers corporate offices, residential bungalows, plotting schemes Clubhouses, Restaurants, Boutiques and Weekend Homes. The wide spectrum of her projects is a deliberate design move to experiment with various scales and spaces - be it architecture, planning, landscape, interior design, homes, commercial structures, or corporate buildings.
Chauhan graduated from the Institution of Environmental Design, Vallabh Vidyanagar and earned a Master’s Degree in Design from the University of Technology, Sydney. Her initial training was with celebrated firms like Karan Grover and Associates and Vijay Matai and Associates after which she went on to do various freelance projects on her own.
She founded VIKRAMA Architecture and Design in 2009 with a firm belief that ‘God is in the details. It is in those minor details - what the client wants, what the environment can offer, or how best can the space be utilized - that Chauhan finds her inspiration from.
Chauhan’s design philosophy is very close to nature, simple, colorful, and textured. Typically, her designs begin with two or three colors that may not complement or blend with each other, but when put together as a unit, it all starts making sense - just how nature is! A tree-hugger in person, Chauhan likes to create spaces that are simple yet articulate with a little element of surprise.
