New Delhi [India], September 27: Just as humans feel pain when injured, animals and birds also experience the same pain, and basic necessities essential for human survival are equally crucial for animals. Influenced by these thoughts, Rashmi Rekha has had a particular fondness for animals since childhood. She cannot tolerate even the slightest violence against them. Through various campaigns, she has raised awareness among millions of people. It is due to this attachment that Rashmi Rekha is about to launch HUFT in Patna. Heads Up For Tails (HUFT), a renowned global brand that cares for pets, has over 90 stores across the country with around 1000 SKUs, and soon, it will open in Patna, which will be the first store in Bihar.

Rashmi Rekha stated that there is no shortage of people who love animals in Bihar, but she has always noticed a need for more high-quality products for their care and daily needs. Whenever she visited the market, she always felt the absence of good products in this sector. Their primary aim is to provide the best care and excellent products for the voiceless animals, and they are confident that this is exactly what every pet owner in Bihar currently desires. HUFT will be the best option for them. Their goal is to meet all the needs of pet owners in Bihar.

Mrs. Rekha further adds that Bihar is her birthplace, and she has spent her entire life here, which is why she is well aware of the various challenges faced by animals in the region. Through HUFT, the store will offer designer items for pets, daily food, delicious treats, organic grooming products, and all essential needs for their care.

Nagpur (Maharastra) [India] September 25: Transforming spaces within heritage sites is no small feat, but Ar. Vikrant Bhute embraces the challenge with a unique blend of creativity and respect for history. As the chief architect of Concepts Architects & Interior Designers, he recently completed an impressive redesign of the Deputy CM’s bungalow in Nagpur, known as “Vijaygarh”.

With the appointment of a new Deputy Chief Minister, there was a need to update the exterior of the residence while preserving its historical character. The. Bhute’s approach to the project has been both thoughtful and innovative, ensuring that every design element enhances the bungalow’s historic appearance without losing its original charm.

Heritage sites come with their own set of challenges. They are not just buildings; they are reflections of a past that need to be preserved, even as they are adapted for present-day use. For Bhute, this was the essence of the project.

“The bungalow’s architecture has a story to tell,” Vikrant Bhute explains. “Our job was to make sure that story wasn’t erased by modernity but rather enhanced by it.”

This approach required a meticulous design strategy. Vikrant and his team focused on maintaining the building’s historical character while introducing modern updates to the exterior that felt natural and unintrusive. The materials chosen for the exterior were carefully selected to complement the original structure and ensure that the updates blended seamlessly with the old design.

The bungalow has been home to many top political leaders, ministers, and bureaucrats over the years. With the new Deputy Chief Minister stepping into the role, the exterior needed subtle updates to reflect this change. Bhute’s team responded to this need with the sensitivity that such a project demands.

The goal wasn’t to transform the space but to update it in a way that honored its legacy. From the layout to the materials chosen, every detail was designed to be in harmony with the bungalow’s historical roots. The updates were subtle, designed to blend seamlessly with the old rather than overshadow it.

Bhute’s work on the Deputy Chief Minister’s bungalow isn’t an isolated example. His firm, Concepts Architects & Interior Designers, has worked on a number of high-profile projects where historical significance and modern needs meet. Bhute has built a reputation for his sensitive approach to heritage design, balancing the past with the present in a way that both preserves and elevates.

“We’re always looking for ways to marry history with functionality,” Vikrant says. “When you’re working with heritage buildings, it’s important to tread lightly, to make sure the space remains true to its origins while still being useful for today’s occupants.”

This philosophy has guided Bhute’s approach for years. Whether it’s a public space or a private residence, his focus is always on creating a balance—preserving the essence of a building while ensuring it meets the needs of its users.

In many ways, the work done on the Deputy Chief Minister’s bungalow reflects the broader evolution of Maharashtra itself—a state that values its rich history even as it pushes forward into the future. The redesign of the bungalow is a small yet important example of how spaces can adapt and evolve without losing their connection to the past.

For Ar. Vikrant Bhute, the project represents the culmination of years of experience working in heritage design. It’s a reminder that architecture is not just about bricks and mortar; it’s about telling stories, preserving legacies, and creating spaces that respect where we’ve come from while preparing us for where we’re going.

As Maharashtra continues to grow and change, projects like this one serve as a blueprint for how to navigate that balance. Through thoughtful design, Ar. Vikrant Bhute and his team at Concepts Architects have shown that it’s possible to create modern spaces that don’t just coexist with history—but celebrate it.
