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. ## Highlights Browse through Int-Hab's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/intuitive_habitat/architectural-design/featured) - ![This is the 'Chirantana' residence, a compact 4-bedroom home where we used clever massing and a two-tone color palette to create a bold, modern facade.

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. ## More services from Int-Hab - [Interior Design](https://mytribe.in/intuitive_habitat/interior-design) · ₹250-5,200 per sq ft (estimate) ## Experts similar to Int-Hab on mytribe - [Home Theater Design by Hometrenz Interior Studio](https://mytribe.in/hometrenz/home-theater-design) · ₹3-15L per room (estimate) · Hyderabad - [Indoor Plant Styling by Rosemary Habitat](https://mytribe.in/ rosemary_habitat/indoor-plant-styling) · ₹1.8-16K per setup (estimate) · Chennai - [Curated Plant & Planter Sales by Our Balcony Garden](https://mytribe.in/ourbalconygarden/curated-plant-planter-sales) · ₹1.5-17.5K per setup (estimate) · OurBalconyGarden - [Full-Service Landscape Design & Build by Grafted Greens](https://mytribe.in/graftedgreens/full-service-landscape-design-build) · ₹250-1,650 per sq. ft.
