I'm Madhan Raichur, a Design Manager with over 8 years of experience in the architecture and construction industry. I hold a Master’s in Construction Project Management with a focus on Advanced BIM, and a Bachelor's degree in Architecture.
My early career involved working on residential, commercial, and hospitality projects including U.S.-based developments which gave me a strong foundation in design and technical coordination. I’ve also been involved in BIM innovation, having helped develop an online BIM platform to streamline collaboration and improve design workflows.
Currently, I’m part of the leadership team at Design for Leisure, where I lead the design and coordination of luxury spa and wellness environments across the globe. I’m especially passionate about merging architectural design with wellness principles to create spaces that feel both functional and restorative.
Alongside project work, I also lead the training and development of our internal design standards and tools helping our team work smarter, faster, and more consistently. I'm always exploring ways to integrate innovation and clarity into every stage of the design process.
