### My story

I'm Ajith, started Andagere Architects back in 2002, but my love for building goes way back—Hampi, Nrityagram, that old-school vibe, you know? Our studio sits out in Magadi, Bande Thota, where we live and work slow, earthy, Indian-modern style. Our crew’s a mix—city architects, local craftsmen, all hands-on. We even kicked off Samrakshan India to keep our vernacular roots alive. From Karnataka fields to Goa beaches, we build homes that just feel right.

### My work

- **All-in-one sustainable design**: We do architecture, interiors, product design (Kailkale), and full design-build. Shanti Homes in Goa—ready-to-move, eco-friendly villas.
- **Earth & stone construction**: Rammed earth homes, adobe, laterite stone, wattle-and-daub—buildings that breathe, using what the land gives.
- **Handcrafted, slow process**: Nothing rushed here. We work with local artisans, crafting soulful spaces that blend old and new.
- **Who we build for**: Nature lovers, slow-living folks, families, social projects—private homes, holiday retreats, community buildings.
