About Renovation & Adaptive Reuse
We believe old buildings are stories waiting for a fresh chapter, not problems to be erased. Our work is about blending the soul of a place with the needs of today. You’ll find that our projects feel both new and familiar, because we always try to respect what was and imagine what can be.
How We Approach Renovation
We go way beyond just giving things a new coat of paint. Our thinking is rooted in sustainability - we’re always looking to restore, repurpose, reuse, reduce, and retrofit. Whether it’s a warehouse that needs a second life or a heritage home craving a comeback, we’re up for the challenge.
Example: Warehouse to Co-Living Space
Take our "Earthen Spirit" project. We turned a dead warehouse near the tech parks into a buzzing home. Added an open terrace, cafeteria, gym - the works. Used Mangalore tiles with glass bits on the roof, so the light inside keeps changing all day. Built a double-height staircase that totally changed the vibe. It’s proof that warehouse to co-living conversion isn’t just a trend, it actually works.
Soul in the Materials
We’re big on reclaimed building materials. Old doors, windows, frames, even grills from demolished homes get a second life in our spaces. Not everything is shiny and new, but that’s the beauty - every detail has a history. That’s what makes our adaptive reuse projects stand out.

My Story
We’re Design Kacheri, led by Nidhish and Chaitra. We’re kinda obsessed with two things: earthy homes made with mud, brick, and old doors, and those crisp, minimalist penthouses that feel super calm. Bengaluru keeps us on our toes! For us, it’s all about homes that just feel right, whether it’s a jagali (sunny deck) or a sculptural staircase. Spaces should carry the vibe of the people living in them.
My Work

Client-Centric Design - We design for people, making cozy spots like jagali decks and tulsikatte, always collaborating.
