Residential Architectural Design
Available across Karnataka
I design homes that mix modern and Kerala styles, use different materials, focus on airflow and light, and show you 3D visuals before building starts.

About Residential Architectural Design
What I Do
I design homes that mix a modern vibe with Kerala’s own style. My thing is taking the best bits of tropical modern design and blending them with local traditions—like sloping terracotta roofs and open, airy spaces. The result? Homes that stand out, but still feel at home in our climate.
What You Can Expect
- Full design for new homes—anything from a simple one-floor house to a big villa.
- Renovations and home extensions, especially giving old houses a fresh, Kerala-inspired look.
- I’m all about clear plans: we chat, I get your ideas, then I turn it into a solid concept.
How I Work
- We start with your needs and dreams for the space.
- I’ll show you hyper-realistic 3D residential design visualization so you can actually see how things will turn out before a brick is laid.
- Once you’re happy, I prep detailed drawings for the builders.
What Makes My Work Different
- Love mixing materials—exposed concrete, laterite, wood, brick—gives each project its own feel.
- Roofs can be modern and flat or classic and sloped. Sometimes both. No rules, just what fits.
- Always thinking about airflow and light—big windows, glass walls, and jali (latticework) screens keep things bright but private.
- Landscaping isn’t an afterthought. Lawns and gardens are planned as part of the whole.
I’m based in Kannur but take up projects across Kerala and even cities like Bangalore or Mangalore. If you want a home that’s modern but still has that Kerala soul, that’s what I do.

My Story
Hey, I’m Akashraj from Kannur. I design spaces that feel new but still have that Kerala soul. You’ll spot sloping roofs, wood, stone, and green corners in my work - all tied together with a clean, modern vibe. My designs travel with me, from Kannur to Kochi, Bangalore, Palakkad. Each project’s a fresh shot at crafting a home that feels just right.
My Work
Full Design Services - I handle everything - new builds, interiors for homes and offices, plus 3D home visualization before we start.
Style and Approach - Think tropical minimal interiors, lots of light, wood, green spaces, and Kerala style house design.
Process - First, I listen to your ideas. Then I use 3ds Max and Corona for detailed models, so you see it all upfront.
Project Locations - Mostly in Kerala - Kannur, Kochi, Palakkad, Kasaragod. Sometimes Bangalore too.
