 HOSTEL

The TDV hostels encompass the

students’ home-away-from-home
spaces. the TDV hostel is strategically
located in the heart of the noida
city with the prominent malls and
shopping arcades in close proximity,
yet it is nestled away from the
maddening crowd of the metro city.

The entire space is designed to ensure

a highly functional, comfortable,
design ecosystem which inspires
the budding designer to unwind

I went to International Semester
in France at Lecole De Design,
Nantes. There were students
from all around the world with
different perspective of designs.
We started working on different
projects together. It was like
design was their life. If not design,
then nothing. It was such an
amazing experience living with
amazing people, being between
awesome designers & learning so
many new things.
