The August issue of Home & Design TRENDS features a dynamic duo on the cover; architect Ashiesh Shah and chef Hemant Oberoi come together for the first time to talk about their relationship and communication during the design of the latter's restaurant. We also speak to Ma Yansong of MAD Architects and the team at Note Design Studio for their insights on design and innovation on a global level. Additionally, we also feature photographer Thibaud Poirier's beautifully captured libraries from around the world. Our residential and commercial projects include stunning homes by Rohit Ghuste and Sandesh Prabhu, a restaurant by Shabnam Gupta and an office by ANA Designs. As a round-up, architect Manish Dikshit takes us to Poland, where design penetrates the once war-torn structures.
