We do not believe in off-the-shelf design, so we dedicate time to hand-selecting material palettes, from natural lime plaster to reclaimed wood, that age gracefully and honor the history of your home. Our studio renovation serves as the purest example of our design philosophy: adaptive reuse and minimal intervention. Rather than gutting the existing space, we retained its original bones, choosing to highlight the architecture through subtle updates like adding light and biophilic elements. This approach defines every residential project we undertake. When we start a new collaboration, the process is deeply personal. It begins with a mood board, a physical landscape of swatches, colors, and inspirations that help us align on the vision. We focus on the reason behind every choice. Are we using oxide flooring? It is because it keeps the space cool and grounded. Are we restoring an arch? It is to preserve the narrative of the building. We prioritize sustainability not as a trend, but as a practice of respect for the materials and the environment. We look for local, breathable materials that allow a house to be a living entity, rather than a static structure. Whether you are looking to restore a heritage property in Alibaug or create a soulful, modern apartment in Mumbai, our goal is to build a space that feels like a natural extension of yourself. We invite you to visit our studio in Chembur, where we can discuss how to translate your story into a spatial identity. ## About Anjali Rawat I am Anjali. Architecture is about people to me, and I pour that belief into every corner I design. I work best with those who value a collaborative journey, where we turn your ideas into a home that feels both grounded and alive.
