Great Companies: What makes The Monochrome Studio different from hundreds of other similar service providers?

Pooja Chaudhari:

We at the monochrome studio believe that a home should never be bought and always be made. We customize everything in the design as per your requirements and choice. It is your abode and we strive to give you that. The design that you want is at the centre of our process and not just the design.

We practice minimalism in our designs. We elevate minimalism and simplicity to masterclass.

Great Companies: What are the struggles and challenges you face?

Pooja Chaudhari: The major challenge is definitely the stereotypes that come with being a woman. Architecture is a beautiful balance of creativity and engineering, people find it difficult to trust you with the latter part being a woman. It is assumed we are just great with the first part.

Great Companies: How do you plan to grow in the future? What does 5 years down the line look like for The Monochrome Studio?

Pooja Chaudhari: The monochrome studio is growing everyday and with every project. We are where we wanted to be 5 years back.

We want to grow the monochrome studio as a reputed and clean practice that delivers great designs and creates personalised spaces.
