About Residential Architecture & Design
Homes That Feel Like You
We design homes that are more than just buildings - they’re lived-in experiences. At Studio 4A, we blend modern villa design with little details that give every space real character. Whether you want a cozy family home, a peaceful farmhouse, or a sleek city retreat, we work with you to make sure your place feels just right.
What We Do
- Bespoke homes and villas shaped to your lifestyle and location
- Farmhouses and weekend getaways, from brick-and-boulder rustic to luxe coffee estate pads
- Sensitive renovations and additions that respect what’s already there while making it better
Our Approach
We always start with a chat to understand what matters to you and what makes your site unique. Our style leans minimalist - clean lines, practical spaces, and thoughtful touches like a snug reading nook or a wall that shows off local art. We’re big on natural material palette - think stone, brick, lime finishes, and Mangalore roof tiles.
Nature & Sustainability, Always
If you say “indoor-outdoor living” is your vibe, we get it. Our designs let light and breeze flow in, and we love keeping old trees and rocks as part of your home. We upcycle stuff from your site, turning old beams into furniture or saving old tiles for a new floor. It’s not just eco-friendly - it gives your home a story.

My Story
We’re Studio 4A, based out of Bangalore. For us, design’s about the small stuff - how sunlight slides in, the cool feel of Kota stone underfoot, or Mangalore tiles popping up where you least expect. We’ve worked on everything from busy corporate offices to quiet farm villas like Villa Maati. When ‘A House Reborn’ got nominated for ArchDaily’s Building of the Year, yeah, that made us smile. Good design, that’s our thing. Each project, its own vibe.
My Work
Architecture & Interior Design - We handle homes, farmhouses, villas, and offices - full design, start to finish.
Modern with a Local Twist - We mix contemporary looks with natural materials like Kota stone and Mangalore tile design.
Details Matter - Love working with textures - brick, granite, and old-school stuff for timeless, personal spaces.
Projects with Character - From award-nominated homes to big offices, we vibe best with folks who care about good design.
