Started back in 2012 by Sachin Shetty, we’re all about making spaces that feel like they belong. Our studio is rooted in this region, so you’ll see us mixing modern design with local vibes—think Jodi Mane in Mangaluru or Malenadu Mane. We’re a small team, big on celebrating festivals together and sweating the details. For us, every window and staircase has a story. That’s how we work. ### My work - **What We Do**: We design architecture, interiors, and products for homes, restaurants, commercial, and healthcare spaces. - **How We Work**: We balance cost, minimalism, sustainability, and function. Daylighting and cross-ventilation always matter. - **Details Matter**: Staircases and windows aren’t just parts—they’re interactive, useful, and part of the story. - **Modern Meets Local**: We blend bold, modern looks with vernacular architecture Mangaluru, using local materials like laterite and wood. ## Book To book Int-Hab, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'd%20like%20to%20book%20Int-Hab.)
