Int-Hab

About

At Int-Hab, we see architecture as way more than just walls and a roof. It's about how the building breathes, how it fits with its surroundings, and the spaces in between - like courtyards and gardens. This whole built vs unbuilt spaces thing guides everything we make.

How We Design

I believe spaces should actually work for you, not just look fancy. Sometimes a staircase becomes the hero, where people actually hang out. I'm big on keeping things practical, simple, but with enough soul so it feels like home.

• We use sustainable building materials like rammed earth and laterite stone
• Always plan for natural light and airflow - why pay big AC bills?
• Each project is shaped by the local climate, terrain, and culture. Contextual architecture is our jam.

Projects We’ve Made

From compact homes and ‘Jodi Mane’ (paired houses for siblings) to offices with lake views and even tea shops (‘Cha Angadi’), I’ve tried it all. Designed a Malenadu Mane (Western Ghats home) that melts into a coffee plantation. Also worked on healthcare wings in hospitals.

Our Signature Touches

• Facades aren’t just decoration; they tell a story with materials, solids, and voids.
• Landscape integration starts day one - skylights, double-height spaces, big windows to bring nature inside.
• Mix of modern minimalist home design with local traditions - like a Tulsi katte or local stone, so the place feels real, not showroom-ish.
