Great hospitality design is more than just aesthetics—it’s about creating spaces that enhance the guest experience while staying true to a brand’s identity. Sripriya Reddy, Principal Architect at Sripriya Reddy Studios, has been shaping hospitality interiors with a strong focus on sustainability, comfort, and innovation.
“As an interior designer, I aim to craft spaces that not only look beautiful but also improve guest well-being. Functionality, brand personality, and eco-conscious design are at the heart of my projects,” she shares. With a growing emphasis on sustainability, she ensures her designs incorporate eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient lighting, and sustainable furniture that minimize waste without compromising luxury.
Sustainability is no longer a trend—it’s a necessity. Sripriya Reddy Studios has been making deliberate strides in integrating eco-conscious elements into hospitality projects.
“In a recent project, we used recycled wood for furniture, which not only added a rustic charm but also significantly reduced our environmental footprint,” she explains. This approach allowed for reduced material waste while maintaining the high-end appeal that guests expect.
Guest well-being was another priority. By designing spaces with ample natural light, better ventilation, and open layouts, she created an airy, refreshing ambiance that enhances both comfort and air quality. “A well-lit, well-ventilated space is not just visually appealing—it directly impacts guest experience and wellness,” she adds.
To further lower energy consumption, Sripriya integrated energy-efficient lighting solutions throughout her projects, helping hotels reduce operational costs while maintaining a sustainable footprint.
Technology is reshaping the hospitality industry, and Sripriya has been at the forefront of integrating smart solutions into design.
“In one of our latest projects, we incorporated smart lighting and automated climate control to enhance guest convenience while improving energy efficiency,” she shares. These innovations allow hotels to optimize energy use, create personalized guest experiences, and streamline operations—all while maintaining sustainability goals.
The rise of women-led design firms is reshaping the industry, creating a more diverse and inclusive environment. Sripriya notes that increasing support for women entrepreneurs—through funding, business resources, and networking opportunities—has allowed more women to carve their own paths.
“The industry is seeing more women take leadership roles, start their own firms, and work on high-profile projects. This shift is making workplaces more inclusive and fostering a culture of creativity and collaboration,” she explains.
As hospitality spaces become more compact and multi-functional, flexibility in design is becoming crucial. Sripriya highlights the growing trend of modular and pop-up restaurant spaces, which allow brands to experiment with new concepts without committing to permanent structures.
“In one of our recent projects, we designed a pop-up restaurant—a dynamic space that could be easily assembled and disassembled. These spaces offer hotels and restaurants a cost-effective way to test new cuisines and concepts while keeping up with changing customer preferences,” she shares.
This trend is expected to gain momentum as the industry looks for more adaptive, experience-driven solutions that cater to evolving guest expectations.
On International Women’s Day, Sripriya encourages women to push boundaries and continue shaping the future of the industry.
“We must celebrate all the women transforming hospitality with creativity, vision, and passion. This is a time to reflect on how far we’ve come—and how much further we can go in creating a truly equal and inclusive industry.”
With sustainability, innovation, and inclusivity leading the way, the future of hospitality design looks more promising than ever.
