SJK Architects

About

We see buildings as living, breathing things. Every space we design is meant to spark conversations, connect with its surroundings, and feel alive long after guests leave. Hospitality is not just about a place to sleep or eat - for us, it’s about creating an experience that lingers.

How We Approach Hospitality Spaces

We aim to craft sanctuaries that feel timeless. Our process always starts with the story - sometimes rooted in local culture, sometimes in the landscape itself. Whether it's experiential hotel architecture for a spiritual retreat or a contemporary urban cafe, we focus on spaces that encourage reflection and a sense of place.

• Every project is unique, shaped by its purpose and setting.
• We use a mix of natural materials, layered spaces, and light to create inviting atmospheres.
• Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for us - we design for climate, use rainwater management, and keep things energy efficient.

A Few Projects We’ve Loved

• Spiritual Sanctuary at Bodhgaya: Inspired by Vishnu’s avatars, this hotel blends deep narratives with serene, climate-controlled interiors.
• Ayushakti Health Resort, Mumbai: Urban, yet tranquil. Think jharokhas and biophilic elements that let in nature, block harsh sun, and create a healing feel.
• The Lotus Cafe: A lotus-shaped roof, glass walls, and reflections on water bring in poetry and calm.
• Courtyard Cafe at Bodhgaya: High terracotta ceilings and open courtyards make the space feel grand but cozy.

Collaboration is key for us, and we stick with our clients every step of the way. We’re obsessed with the details - from picking the right stone to finding a mason who actually gets it. Every space is a chance to tell a new story.
