For us, it’s about understanding the pulse of a place and letting it grow into something meaningful. We try to make sure every master plan stands out, has real attitude, and leaves its mark on its surroundings. We keep things fresh, practical, and tuned to the future. ### What We Do Best Most of our work happens in Bangalore’s dense cityscape. Here’s how we approach things: - Mixed-use development strategies let us bring together homes, offices, and hangout spots. It’s not just about what goes where - we want people to enjoy living, working, and relaxing without feeling boxed in. - High-density residential solutions are a big part of our game. Tall buildings, from 9 to 29 storeys, get amenities like rooftop pools and business centers. We fuss over facades and outdoor spaces so folks living up high don’t miss out on greenery or views. - Community-centered housing master plans mean we work on entire neighbourhoods, not just standalone homes. We focus on simple, modern designs with lots of glass and good links to nature. ### Research and Collaboration We don’t just design - we get involved with the city. Working with BBMP and local bodies, we help improve public spaces. Sometimes we go deep into academic work, studying temporary city setups at pilgrimage spots or reimagining old mines and coastlines. This keeps us sharp and always learning. ### Our Way of Working We believe the best ideas come from working together, not from a single mind. By listening, experimenting, and getting to know the people and places we’re designing for, we aim for master plans that actually fit and feel right. ## Highlights Browse through SDeG's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/sdeg__/urban-design-master-planning/featured) - ![A 29-storey mixed-use tower designed for Bangalore's urban core.

You step out of your comfort zone, answer questions you didn’t know existed. Our place? It’s open, almost bias-free, just a big space for ideas to bounce around. We’re always poking at new things – spiritual tourism, fixing what’s broken in our environment, even community stuff like our ‘Ellara Nelle’ (a home for all) show. Architecture’s never still, and neither are we. ### My work - **What We Do**: We work across architecture, urbanism, and academia. Projects range from homes, towers, offices, memorials, schools. - **Finding the Seed**: Each project’s got its own hidden spark. We dig for it, grow it, make it real for that place and purpose. - **Narrative-Driven Design**: We build spaces around stories – family life, journeys, struggles. The narrative shapes everything. - **Substance Over Flash**: Bold design isn’t just looks. It’s logic, attitude, meaning. Like freeing up a floor for Bay of Bengal views. - **Open Studio Collaboration**: Our studio’s open, team-focused. Designers, engineers, partners – everyone’s in on the process. ## More services from SDeG - [Interior Design](https://mytribe.in/sdeg__/interior-design) · ₹1,200-3,500 per sq.ft (estimate) - [Architectural Design](https://mytribe.in/sdeg__/architectural-design) · ₹120-350 per sq ft (estimate) ## Experts similar to SDeG on mytribe - [Urban Design & Master Planning by Mathew and Ghosh](https://mytribe.in/architects_mathewghosh/urban-design-master-planning) · ₹3-12L per acre (estimate) · Mathew & Ghosh Architects - [Urban Design & Master Planning by Architecture Dialogue](https://mytribe.in/architecturedialogue/urban-design-master-planning) · ₹2-8L per acre (estimate) · Architecture Dialogue - [Master Planning & Urban Design by Urban & Landscape Design Studio](https://mytribe.in/uldsindia/master-planning-urban-design) · ₹1.5-6L per acre (estimate) · Urban & Landscape Design Studio - [Master Planning & Urban Design by Senscape](https://mytribe.in/senscapearchitects/master-planning-urban-design) · ₹2-6 per sq.ft of site area (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Urban Design & Masterplanning by M9 Design Studio](https://mytribe.in/m9_designstudio/urban-design-masterplanning) · ₹15-50L per 10-acre site (estimate) · M9 Design Studio - [Architectural Services by Studio Design Forum](https://mytribe.in/studiodesignforum/architectural-services) · ₹80-220 per sq.ft (estimate) · Design Forum India Pvt Ltd - [Architecture & Master Planning by Studio Chintala](https://mytribe.in/studio.chintala/architecture-master-planning) · ₹80-250 per sq ft (estimate) · Studio Chintala - [Master Planning & Site Design by Studio Motley](https://mytribe.in/studiomotley/master-planning-site-design) · ₹8-22 per sq.ft (estimate) · STUDIO MOTLEY - [Master Planning by Funktion Design](https://mytribe.in/funktiondesign.in/master-planning) · ₹1.5-4L per acre (estimate) · Funktion Design - [Master Planning & Urbanism by Reading Grounds](https://mytribe.in/readinggrounds/master-planning-urbanism) · ₹2.5-8L per acre (estimate) · Reading Grounds - [Master Planning by Chandrakant S.
