Masons Ink

We design and build courtyard-centric, sustainable homes using natural materials like rammed earth and mud. Our work is driven by a passion for hands-on craftsmanship and a mission to empower women in construction.

This sunlit, Spanish-inspired courtyard is the heart of the home. We used patterned cement tiles and filled the space with plants to create a cool, comfortable, and serene spot for the whole family, including Dorai the beagle, to relax.

We love using natural, breathable materials like this mud and lime plaster. It not only gives the wall a beautiful, earthy texture but also helps regulate the temperature, keeping the home cool naturally. The brass sink and blue countertop add a touch of modern craft.

This main entrance features a repurposed vintage door set against an exposed brick wall. We believe details like these add a sense of history and character, making a new house feel like a home with a story.

The dining room at Casa 503 is designed to be a warm, inviting space for family meals. The golden light from the large windows, combined with the olive green walls and classic wooden furniture, creates a perfect setting for making memories.

This is the unique texture of 'Thappi', a traditional Rajasthani lime plastering technique. We worked with master artisans to train our all-women team of masons, preserving this sustainable craft and bringing its beauty to modern homes.

Sustainable can be stunning. This bathroom showcases how natural materials like mud and lime plaster, paired with brass fittings, can create a space that is both earthy and elegant. We love proving that eco-friendly design doesn't mean compromising on luxury.

A home is for the entire family, pets included. We design spaces for comfort and joy, like this sun-drenched dining area with durable Kota stone flooring, perfect for lazy afternoons for both our two-legged and four-legged clients.

Here you can see the Wattle and Daub technique in progress. A lattice of bamboo is daubed with a mix of local clay and natural fibers, creating a strong and insulating wall using ancient methods.

My Story

Namaskara! We’re Masons Ink from Bengaluru. Home’s not just walls to us, it’s got to breathe, you know? Courtyards - that’s our jam, letting in sun and fresh air. We’re always on site, hands muddy, building with our team. Super proud of our all-women masons - ‘Pengalaala mudiyaadhadhu edhuvum illai’ (Nothing women can’t do). We build with heart, earth, and a bit of stubbornness.

My Work

Architecture, Interiors & Reviving Spaces - We design homes from scratch, redo old places, and run workshops on sustainable construction.

Natural Rammed Earth & Mud-Lime Plastering - We use local materials - rammed earth walls, mud and lime plaster, bamboo wattle and daub.

Courtyard-Centric Architecture - Big fans of open courtyards, blending inside with outside, always chasing that natural light.

Vintage Door & Frame Reuse - Old doors, hundred years or more, get a new life in our homes. Old is gold for us.

Handmade & Imperfect - We love handmade, even if it’s not perfect. Little flaws make spaces feel real and warm.
