About Architectural Design
What Drives Us
I see architecture as more than walls and roofs - it’s about how a space feels when you walk in. My designs are shaped by emotion and rooted in experience, not just by blueprints.
Style That Connects
I love mixing old-school Indian vibes with sleek modern lines. Clay bricks, terracotta tiles, jaali screens - these aren’t just materials, they’re memories. They shape homes that feel warm and honest. My approach is all about blending tradition with contemporary facade design, not losing sight of what makes a space feel like home.
- Natural materials like wood and brick
- Play of sunlight with jaali work
- Spaces that change with the time of day
What I Build
If you want a home that feels personal, I design custom residential architecture - from luxury villas to cozy farmhouses. I’m into details: facades, elevations, even that perfect brick shade. For commercial work, I create offices and community spaces that don’t just look good but work well - practical, but not boring. I’ve got hands-on experience with prefabricated steel structures too, bringing fresh ideas to sustainable building design.
The Process
From initial sketches to 3D models, I’m with you at every step. You’ll find me on site, talking to craftsmen, picking out marble, and sometimes answering: “madam, budget yenu?” (Madam, what’s the budget?). I keep it real. Collaboration is at the heart of everything I build.

My Story
Hey, we’re AKAR Design Studio. Some days you’ll find us in muddy boots, dodging Bengaluru rains, other days we’re flying across India chasing that spark of inspiration. We love sharing our work with students and young designers, because design is more than drawings—it’s ideas, feelings, and a bit of chaos. For us, the real reward isn’t awards, it’s seeing your dream space come alive. Design’s a journey, and we’re always up for the ride.
