Chinta Sthapatya is featured in Bondhon Magazine (August 2022) by Akij Group with a few of our projects and our thinking process. 

"'Less is more' became the mid-century modern mantra, and people demanded simple and minimalistic designs. The clamor of visual noise from intricate design began getting replaced by a more measured approach," said architect Mahmudul Gani Kanak from Chinta Sthapatya.

According to Mahmudul Gani Kanak, a Dhaka-based architect from Chinta Sthapatya, knobs and handles are now integrated into the broader architectural context, especially in interior design. "We can no longer say that knobs and handles are mere appendages to our home and furniture doors. Rather, they contribute to the overall rhythm and harmony of the space," Kanak said. The feeling of holding the door handle or knob can determine whether you feel welcome in a place or not.

What fascinates him the most about the knobs and handles is that they react and have dialogues with light, shadow, and surrounding elements. "This is how handles and knobs create a visual symphony that engages us in many ways with the overall theme of the space," he added.

Our latest office interior project in Dhaka, designed by CHINTA led by Mahmudul Gani Kanak, has been featured in Showcase Magazine. The feature explores how the project translates an evolving brand into spatial form—balancing adaptive reuse, functional intensity, and calm, reflective work environments. Read the full publication to explore the narrative behind the design.

Featured in Showcase Magazine, Avon Chamber is a 1,600 sq ft law office in Dhaka designed by CHINTA, led by Mahmudul Gani Kanak. Set within the constraints of a former restaurant, the project transforms low ceilings and irregular geometry into a disciplined spatial rhythm. Through a continuous “folded” architectural gesture, carefully orchestrated light, and a restrained material palette, the interior redefines the law office as a calm, focused environment where clarity shapes everyday practice.
