## About Interior Design & Renovation

### Why We Do What We Do

Home for us is way more than just walls. It’s about warmth, tradition, and making sure every corner feels alive and cared for. We love courtyards - they’re literally the soul of the house. Nature isn’t just a vibe, it’s part of how we work.

### Our Design Approach

- We mix old-school Indian techniques with global touches, especially that relaxed Mediterranean-inspired home design.
- Natural, locally sourced, and upcycled decor elements are our go-to. We keep things simple and honest, always aiming for sustainability.
- We use passive design tricks to keep spaces cool and light, without fancy gadgets.

### What We Offer

- Full interior design - we can turn a blank space into a real home, right down to the last chair.
- Renovation for old homes - we respect the history, but give it a fresh, modern feel.
- Furniture and decor curation with pieces from artisans, always hunting for stuff that tells a story.

### Materials We Love

- Mud, lime, and rammed earth walls that breathe.
- Floors with personality - Athangudi tiles, Kota stone, colored oxide.
- Vintage doors and frames, sometimes over a century old, for that extra character.

### For Your Pets Too

Kota stone floors keep things cool for your furry friends. We always think about safe, comfy corners for pets - they’re family.

### How We Work

We’re hands-on, always at the site, getting messy if needed. We also make sure women in construction get skilled and empowered. For us, real change starts from the ground up.

Pengalaala mudiyaadhadhu edhuvum illai. (Nothing women can't do.) That’s the heart behind every home we build.

## Meet your expert

[Masons Ink](https://mytribe.in/masonsinkarchitecture)

### 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.
