Sri Devi College Of Interior Designing

This place is run out of a spot called "Sarayu" in Srinidhi Nagar, which is over in the Ashok Nagar area of Mangalore. You have to head toward Kodical to find us. It’s actually located at Mr. Ravi Alevooraya’s place. Sri Devi College Of Interior Designing isn't like one of those massive universities with thousands of students and giant glass buildings. It’s more of a local setup where we teach people the basics of how to design a home or an office. Mangalore is a nice place to study because it’s a bit calmer than the big metros. We spend our time going over drawings and learning about different materials that work well in the coastal climate we have here in Karnataka. The rain can be a real problem sometimes, so we talk about that too—how to keep buildings dry and looking good. Students come here because they want to learn a trade and get to work. We aren't big on fancy speeches or complicated theories. It’s mostly about getting the hands-on stuff right, like drafting and understanding how spaces fit together. We’ve been here at the 575006 zip code for some time. It’s a quiet neighborhood, which is good for focusing on the work. We just try to pass on what we know to the next group of people who want to work in design. It’s a practical way to spend the day and we like the pace.
