Portrait of S Hareesh

About

An architect’s training, an interior designer’s eye.

I’m an architect and interior designer based in Chennai, with four-plus years of experience across architecture, interiors and landscape, and project exposure in India, Dubai and the USA.

My approach combines conceptual thinking, spatial planning, 3D modelling and technical development to create spaces that respond to function, experience and context. I bring AI-assisted workflows into design development and visualisation while exploring how emerging tools change architectural practice.

I’m interested in working across cultures and contexts, with a focus on continuous learning, experimentation and meaningful design. Outside project work, my interests are wellness architecture, alternative healing practices and holistic well-being — themes that show up in the wellness-led workplace and the calm palettes of the residences in my portfolio.

Open to opportunities abroad — especially Dubai and the wider Middle East — and ready to relocate for the right role.
