Sheila Sri Prakash narrates the events behind her move into her current commercial space (a platinum-rated building) in an attempt to keep her home and office independent of each other. She questions the idea of an “A-class building” as she recalls how many have remarked that India is devoid of them while she judges the idea of what comfort could consist of in correlation with feasibility and sustainability. In the journey of working with varied technological systems and tools, she notes that nothing has overridden creativity while ruminating on the prospect of Artificial Intelligence (AI) support in architecture and design, and how to adapt. She notes how her decade-long office space is still battling water sustainability challenges. Expanding on the limited viable sources available to her (one being unfit groundwater), and combating the issue, she made several futile attempts over the years of experimenting with many systems. She recalls the many experiences she has had to explain her intentions of reducing wastage to cynical people throughout her journey as an individual and architect. 

Furthermore, she talks about the home she has occupied since the age of six (and continues to occupy at 66) along with the many renovations she has made to it. The many locally-sourced vintage materials her home is made of still hold important value, and given their sustaining durability, are a far better choice over their imported counterparts. Commenting on the ridiculous requests she has received in the name of ‘Vaastu’ from clients, she remarks on the impracticality of Vaastu’s rigid requirements in today’s climate. Speaking of her clients, she notes how she creates extensive relationships with her clients to understand their requirements and responds to them in the projects. How her home and its many intricacies came to be and what can be credited to designing the internal spaces and building architecture is covered in the closing remarks.
