### My story

We started Amālgrain Studio with wild dreams and a love for places, not just buildings. Some days we’re sketching, other days dodging dust at site, always chasing that feeling when a rough coffee-fueled doodle turns real. Our team’s still figuring out how to balance big eco-ideas with the mess of construction. We’re learning, still dreaming, and now our shoes carry steel dust and stories from every site.

### My work

- **What We Do**: We design architecture, interiors, landscapes, urban spaces, and manage projects together.
- **Nature-Integrated Design**: We shape spaces by studying wind, sun, and climate for truly climate-responsive architecture.
- **Heritage Restoration**: Old clubs or historic homes, we reimagine spaces, blending legacy with today’s needs.
- **Urban Scale Solutions**: From homes to city plans. Our Rajakaluve flood solutions for Bengaluru create resilient public spaces.
- **Hands-On Craft**: We start with sketches, end on site, always involved so ideas become well-built places.
