About Residential Architecture & Interior Design
What I Believe
A home isn’t just walls and a roof. For me, it’s the little things - the light in the morning, memories tucked into corners, the quiet comfort when you walk in. I’m all about invisible design that just feels right, not showy or loud.
My Process
No fixed styles here - I start with you, not a template. We’ll chat about what matters to you, what you love, and how you want to live. Every project kicks off with a hand-drawn sketch, kind of like doodling out your dreams. From that first idea, we shape the space together so it actually fits your life.
Services I Offer
- New builds: I design homes from scratch, making sure the architecture matches you and your plot.
- Renovations: If you want to keep some old charm but make it work for today, I blend history with updates.
- Full interiors: I handle everything inside, from colors and furniture to lighting and decor.
- Turnkey design & build: I manage the architecture, interiors, and construction so you don’t have to juggle a bunch of people.
My Style & Approach
I lean into warm minimalism home interiors - clean lines, lots of textures, and pieces that mean something. Nature-integrated architecture is a big deal for me, whether it’s a tree in the courtyard or big windows framing the garden. I pull from modern Indian residential design, like reimagining the classic thotti mane (central courtyard house) in a fresh way.
For Any Size Home
I work on everything from sprawling villas to smart studio apartments. Small spaces? I use flexible layouts and multi-use furniture to make things work without feeling cramped.
Materials I Love
I use honest material palettes - wood, exposed brick, terrazzo, natural stone. Stuff that feels real and gives your home a calm vibe.

My Story
Hey, we’re OCD - Office of Cognitive Design. 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.
