SIGNIFICANCE OF THE NAME Silhouette is the form that appears as a dark bold outline when seen against light from behind. e.g., the skyline seen during sunset is a sight that stirs ones mood, senses and emotions. This dramatic form or outline, metaphorically the vision for any design is of primary importance to a sensitive designer. Once this is well achieved the details follow automatically and unfold with more light from front.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY We strive to achieve the right amalgamation of the functional aspect of a space with aesthetic principles. The design concepts are contemporary and the created spaces are interesting, imaginative and characterized by simplicity and clean lines without any clutter. The elements of nature like sun and shadow, water and greenery are an integral part of the indoors wherever possible. The setting of a site and the purpose the space plays an vital role in making design decisions. The attempt is towards characterizing the space with a quality that would reflect the personality of the ones it belongs to and the purpose it is going to serve. Our endevours will reach a fulfillment when we are successful in creating spaces that are not only designed correctly but that stir ones senses. Design to us is more of a passion than a business.
