Our Design Story and Recognition
Architecture is more than bricks and mortar. It is a living, breathing narrative of heritage and personal history. Here, you will find a glimpse into our mother-daughter creative partnership, our philosophy, and the recognition that marks our journey through the evolving landscape of Indian architecture.

A quote from our feature in Livingetc: "The key to any two people working together, especially if it's a parent and a child, is the parent has to allow that young adult to start formulating their thoughts, make mistakes and figure it out."

About Our Story & Recognition
When you work with us, you are engaging a mother-daughter perspective that balances Sunita’s deep-rooted architectural heritage, including the Rashtrapati Bhavan restoration and the Parliament Building in Bhutan, with the contemporary, hands-on furniture craftsmanship Kohelika brings from her studio, KoKo. It is this intersection of seasoned wisdom and new-age experimentation that ensures your home feels authentic, layered, and deeply yours.
Design as a Living Narrative
We do not see a project as a static object. We view it as a conversation between the past and the present. Sunita’s journey, spanning over five decades, brings a rigorous understanding of architectural conservation and traditional Indian craftsmanship, while Kohelika adds a modern, experimental layer focused on furniture design and tactile details. This synthesis is the heartbeat of K2India.
Recognition and Standards
Our work has been consistently recognized by the industry, including features in Architectural Digest, Livingetc, and Architecture + Design. While awards like the AD100 and the Lifetime Achievement Award are milestones, they are not the end goal. To us, these accolades simply validate our commitment to building spaces that stand the test of time, rather than chasing fleeting trends. Whether we are designing a ground-up villa in New Delhi or restoring a piece of history, our focus remains on the 'God is in the details' philosophy.
Why Our Approach Matters
Many of our clients come to us because they want a home that feels collected, not just decorated. We spend time understanding your life stories, your art collections, and your daily rituals. We avoid loud, trend-based design in favor of quiet luxury that allows the architecture and the inhabitant's personality to take center stage. If you are looking for a space that is Vastu-compliant yet modern, or an apartment renovation that prioritizes natural light and flow, we bring both the technical rigor and the creative soul to execute that vision seamlessly.
