Who handles what
| Role | Main focus |
|---|---|
| Architect | Building plan, layout, facade, setbacks, structure, approvals |
| Interior designer | Kitchen, wardrobes, storage, finishes, room use, modular planning |
| Both together | Best for new house projects where planning and lived interiors should align early |
When you may need both
If you are building a new home in Chennai, early coordination between architect and interior planning can avoid awkward room sizes, badly placed windows, or kitchen and wardrobe limitations later.
