Luxury interior design, delivered locally in Vivek Vihar
Vivek Vihar is a classic East Delhi self-owned colony — wide internal lanes, large plot sizes by Delhi standards, and a mix of original 1980s construction and newer redeveloped builder floors. The renovation conversations here are split almost evenly between owners modernising the 1980s family home and new buyers fitting out a freshly-handed-over builder floor on a redeveloped plot. Both call for a different design vocabulary, and we run separate playbooks for each.
Metaphore Designs Studio is set up to handle both kinds of project under one contract. Whether you are tearing down a 35-year-old home down to the shell or fitting out a brand-new third-floor unit, you work with one designer, one site supervisor and one fixed budget. The brand list is named in the BOQ, the timeline is committed in writing, and the snag list is closed before final payment.
If you are looking for an interior designer in Vivek Vihar who can give you that clarity from week one, this page covers exactly how we work.
Vivek Vihar — what we have learned about the local stock
Vivek Vihar Phase I plots are typically 200–400 sq. yd. — among the most generous in East Delhi — with most original construction at 10 ft 6 in slab heights and 9-inch external walls. Phase II is denser and newer, with builder floors on 150–250 sq. yd. plots and ceiling heights closer to 9 ft 9 in. The two phases require different lighting strategies; Phase I can carry full coffered ceilings, Phase II works better with flush ceilings and discreet cove perimeters.
Parking and material movement is easier here than in most East Delhi colonies — internal roads are 30–40 ft wide, and most blocks allow a small temporary material drop on the plot itself. That means we can run faster mobilisation cycles, with civil and modular materials arriving in larger lots and on fewer truck trips.
Our active Vivek Vihar catchment includes Vivek Vihar Phase I, Phase II, Jhilmil Industrial Area residential plots, Anand Vihar terminus colonies and the newer towers near Karkardooma Court — all within a 4 km radius.
How we design for Vivek Vihar specifically
Older Vivek Vihar plots almost always come with a generous front lawn or rear courtyard that is poorly used. We typically extract one of three high-value moves from this: an outdoor dining deck, an enclosed garden room that doubles as a guest suite, or a covered driveway that protects the family's cars from Delhi summers. Each of these adds usable area without touching FAR or MCD approvals.
On the technical side, redeveloped builder floors in Phase II routinely come with cheap original electricals — 1.5 sq. mm wiring, undersized MCBs, no separate AC circuit. Every Vivek Vihar fit-out we deliver upgrades the consumer unit to a Schneider / Legrand DB with separate AC and geyser circuits, and runs surge protection at the incomer. It is unsexy work, and it is the single biggest improvement most of these flats actually need.

Frequently asked questions
Do you take on full plot renovations in Vivek Vihar Phase I?
Yes — multi-floor plot renovations make up a meaningful share of our Vivek Vihar work. We typically run them in phases so at least one floor stays liveable, or fully vacate the plot for a faster 20–24 week timeline.
How much should a Phase II builder floor cost to fit out?
A 3 BHK Phase II floor from shell condition typically lands between ₹22 and ₹35 lakh including civil, electrical re-pointing, painting, modular and loose furniture.
Can the garden or front lawn be converted to usable indoor space?
Often, yes — but only within MCD-approved FAR limits. We connect you with a panel architect to confirm what is permissible before designing anything that touches the footprint.
Do you replace original electrical wiring during renovation?
We strongly recommend it on any home older than 15 years. Full re-pointing with a Schneider/Legrand consumer unit, separate AC and geyser circuits and surge protection is part of our standard renovation scope in Vivek Vihar.
How long does a Vivek Vihar fit-out take?
A single 3 BHK floor closes in 12–14 weeks. A full plot renovation across 2–3 floors runs 20–26 weeks depending on whether work is sequenced or parallel.
What is included in the 1-year workmanship cover?
Any defect in our civil, painting, false ceiling, electrical or modular installation work that surfaces within 12 months of handover is rectified at no cost. Manufacturer warranties on hardware, paint and plywood run on top of this.
