About Interior Architecture & Design
Why I Design Spaces, Not Just Rooms
I’m here to make homes in Namma Bengaluru (Our Bengaluru) feel personal, earthy and open. My approach to interior architecture is about more than arranging furniture - it’s about creating a vibe that connects your life, personality, and the city itself.
How I Work
- I love bringing nature inside. You’ll notice open pavilions with big doors that vanish, terrace gardens, and vertical greenery. Living spaces feel like they spill into the outdoors - perfect if you crave indoor-outdoor living spaces.
- I use natural materials for interiors like exposed brick (jali screens), FSC certified teak wood, and laterite stone. These don’t just look honest and warm - they age beautifully and keep things real.
- Light and breeze matter. Double-height rooms, skylights, and passive cooling techniques make spaces airy and comfortable, so you’re less dependent on AC.
- My designs have a strong Indian soul. I adapt classic ideas like Nadumuttam (central courtyard) for modern life and weave in Vaastu Shastra if you want it.
The Process
We’ll talk, sketch, and question everything together. I don’t walk in with fixed ideas - your space evolves from our conversations, whether you want a home filled with sunlight or a lush, green sanctuary.
Building Responsibly
Sustainable home design comes naturally to me. I use eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient layouts, and things like rainwater harvesting so your home feels good - and does good.

My Story
I’m from a family of clay sculptors, painters, performers – so making things with my hands is just how I’m wired. Grew up in Bangalore, back when it was all trees and gardens, not glass towers. Most folks who come to us want that old peace back, a slice of the garden city they remember. My job? Build homes that feel like nature’s hug, even in the middle of the city rush.
My Work
Architecture, Interiors, Master Planning - We design homes, spaces, and whole sites - not just rooms, but places to live and breathe.
Collaborative Design - No fixed plans. We chat, listen, and shape your space together, based on your memories and needs.
Nature-Connected Living Spaces - We blur indoor-outdoor lines, frame views, and bring greenery up close, inspired by garden city living.
Sustainable & Local Approach - We use eco-friendly stuff like laterite and granite, passive cooling, rainwater harvesting, and support local artisans.
Craftsmanship in Every Detail - From rangoli floors to brick facades, our work mixes modern design with hands-on Indian craft.
