An exclusive interview with Dennis Ebenezar, Founder & Managing Director of Deejos, a leading Architecture & Construction Company
In this interview, we explore the insights of Dennis Ebenezar, Founder and Managing Director of Deejos, a prominent architecture and construction firm.
With a keen eye for design and a commitment to sustainability, Dennis shares his journey, the challenges of the industry, and his vision for creating innovative spaces that resonate with communities.
How is Deejos redefining the concept of โsmart livingโ through its tech-integrated architectural designs and custom-built homes?
Dennis Ebenezar: At DEEJOS, smart living goes beyond just adding gadgets to homesโitโs about integrating technology into the way people live and build.
Our in-house tech platform, Project Online, allows homeowners to track daily progress, while our designs include features like automated lighting, climate control, and energy efficient systems.
But more importantly, we ensure the tech blends seamlessly with the homeโs character. For us, smart living means creating homes that are intuitive, efficient, and tailored to each familyโs lifestyle.
With the rising demand for personalization, how does Deejos ensure that technology enhances, rather than overshadows, the essence of a homeownerโs style and comfort?
Dennis Ebenezar: We see technology as a silent enabler, not the main act. Every home we design starts with understanding the clientโs lifestyle and preferences.
Once we know that, we thoughtfully integrate automation and smart features that align with their routines, without compromising the aesthetics or warmth of a personal space. Itโs about balancing function with feeling, making the home smarter while still feeling like your home.
Smart homes have largely focused on gadgets and appliances โ do you see a shift in the industry toward structural and architectural intelligence as the next frontier?
Dennis Ebenezar: Absolutely. The future of smart homes lies in the structure itself, not just the devices inside. At DEEJOS, weโre already building with this mindset, using AI tools for design optimization, BIM for efficiency, and sustainable materials that work smarter for the environment.
We also employ advanced tools like the Total Station device to precisely mark the scheme plan at the site, ensuring accuracy and seamless execution.
Structural intelligence makes homes more adaptable, cost effective, and energy efficient. Itโs the next logical step, and weโre excited to be among the few pushing that boundary forward.
How do you view the evolution of smart home technology in India โ is it still aspirational, or has it started becoming a practical necessity across urban homes?
Dennis Ebenezar: Itโs quickly becoming essential, especially in urban homes. People are looking for more control, security, and efficiency in how they live.
Weโve seen a clear shiftโclients now expect features like remote-controlled lighting, automated appliances, and climate systems as part of the basic offering. Itโs not about luxury anymore; itโs about making life simpler and more connected. And as the tech becomes more affordable, the adoption will only grow.
What are the biggest challenges the smart home design industry faces today in India, and how can tech-enabled architectural brands help bridge those gaps?
Dennis Ebenezar: One major challenge is the awareness gap, many people still think smart homes are only for the ultra rich. Another is the disconnect between architects and tech integrators.
At DEEJOS, we bridge that by keeping everything in house, design, construction, and technology, so itโs seamless for the client. We also spend time educating homeowners about how tech can actually simplify their lives, not complicate it. Making smart living accessible and intuitive is the real goal.
As our conversation wraps up, Dennis Ebenezarโs passion for architecture and dedication to excellence are evident. His leadership at Deejos not only transforms landscapes but also sets a benchmark for sustainable practices in the industry.
With a forward-thinking approach, Dennis is shaping the future of architecture, inspiring both clients and aspiring architects alike.
