Whether it’s a buzzing cafe, a cozy bookstore, or a gritty retail hub, I see every project as a chance to spark connections and make people feel something real. ### How I Work - First thing, I sketch by hand. That’s how I get to the heart of your idea, no fancy jargon. - I handle everything as a single point of contact - from the first pencil mark to when you walk into your new space. My team and I take care of the build, so you’re never left guessing who’s doing what. - Process matters. We stick to a clear method, but always ready to improvise when sites throw a curveball. ### Some Spaces I’ve Shaped - **Humble Bean, Bengaluru:** Designed to feel like the perfect coffee - layered textures, playful ceiling, and a bean-shaped bar at the center. A true example of restaurant interior storytelling. - **Capsul, Mumbai:** Not just a sneaker store - it’s a flexible community spot. Movable lighting, bold materials, and a vibe that can flip from retail to event space in minutes. - **Champaca Bookstore, Bengaluru:** A calm nook with plywood, custom bamboo lights, and the outside greenery brought in. Made for quiet reading or a chai break. ### What Sets My Work Apart - Light isn’t just for seeing - it sets the mood, marks the heart of a space, and guides people without shouting. - Materials matter. I choose them for their story, not just their looks. - Adaptive reuse renovation is a favorite challenge. Old spaces, new energy - that’s where magic can happen. If you want a space that feels like you and tells your story, I’m here for it. ## Highlights Browse through Office of Cognitive Design's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/ocd.designbuild/commercial-hospitality-design/featured) - ![At Humble Bean in Bengaluru, the entire interior is a sensory experience designed to mirror a perfect cup of coffee.

Led by Kshitija and Raja, we’re partners in life and work, so yeah, design talk spills into dinner sometimes. We sketch first, always. It’s messy, personal, sometimes wild - that’s how ideas grow. Spaces should hold your memories, not just furniture. We’ve built homes around childhood trees, turned old houses into living galleries. That’s our thing: design that grows with you, not just for you. ### My work - **Design Services We Offer**: We do architecture, interior design, and turnkey design-and-build for homes and hospitality spaces. - **Design for People, Not Just Spaces**: We don’t chase trends. We start with your story, your needs, and make sure every space feels natural. - **Modern Indian Architecture**: We blend Bengaluru’s old-school vibes like thotti mane with modern ideas. Heritage-inspired, but fresh. - **Renovation Magic**: Love reimagining old spaces. Renovation’s our jam—problem-solving, improvisation, and new stories. - **Warm Minimalist Interiors**: Minimal, but never cold. Lots of natural light, wood, concrete, and neutral tones so your life stands out. ## More services from Office of Cognitive Design - [Residential Architecture & Interior Design](https://mytribe.in/ocd.designbuild/residential-architecture-interior-design) · ₹3,200-6,500 per sq ft (estimate) ## Book To book Office of Cognitive Design, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Commercial%20%26%20Hospitality%20Design%20by%20Office%20of%20Cognitive%20Design.)
