ABOUT US

ALT SPACE is the Brainchild of Designer Ria Hingarh.

​

Coming from a family deeply rooted in real estate, building, and construction, Ria’s induction to design started at an early age. At 20 she was already working as an interior design intern. After graduating in 2014 from Raffles Design International with a B.Des in Interior Design, Ria worked for 2 years with an upcoming interior design studio that specialized in hospitality and luxury homes. A passion to create spaces that went beyond mere outward appearance led her to launch her own alternative design studio - & ALT SPACE was born.

​

A year into learning from the ground up with the contractor as her teacher, Ria wanted something more to help her truly transform a space into a sanctuary for those within. Leading her to the cradle of Renaissance and magnificent architecture – Florence, Italy.Ria spent her time there soaking in the culture, visiting Italian craftsmen, and studying under the guidance of some of the leading Italian radical designers from the 1980’s - Lapo Binazzi and  Paolo Deganello .

 

After graduating with a Dual Masters in Fine Arts in Interior and Furniture Design from Florence Institute of Design International (FIDI), she came back to India– and to ALT SPACE–with a refined approach and a new philosophy.
