We believe design should be soulful, honest, and deeply connected to nature. ## Photos and videos - ![We are Ar.

Whether we are reimagining an old Bengaluru home or crafting a new retail space, we do not just hand over a design. We walk with you through every step, from the first messy sketch to the final site handover, ensuring the space feels truly yours. We established AD Studio 9 because we wanted to change how people experience their environments. To us, nature is not a decoration; it is the operating system of any good building. ### Our Philosophy: Soulful Luxury We don't chase trends. We look for 'soulful luxury'—spaces that feel lived-in, breathable, and honest. This means we prefer materials that age gracefully, like exposed brick, terracotta, and stone, over artificial laminates. When we work on a project, we look at the climate, the light, and the way you move through a room. ### The 'Design+Construction' Approach You won't find us just sending you a 3D file and leaving you to deal with contractors. We handle the heavy lifting. Our 'Design+Construction' model means we are on-site, sweating the small stuff—like how the electrical conduits are hidden or how a green wall is irrigated—so you don't have to. ### Why We Work by Invite We are picky, but for a reason. We do our best work when there is a shared vision. If you value nature-integrated design, biophilic elements, and a transparent process where you see the sketches, the models, and the construction unfold, we will likely get along great. We are based in RR Nagar, but we work across Bengaluru to bring this vision to life. ## About AD Studio 9 We are Apoorva and Sandesh, the partners behind AD Studio 9. We live for the thrill of transforming spaces and get a little obsessive about the details, like how light hits a wall or how a room flows.
