The Faces Behind Studio 8 Designs
We are Arjun and Pankhuri. From a small design experiment to a dedicated team of creators, here is the story of how we build spaces that matter.
Introducing the faces behind S8D! It's been a long time since we've done this. Drumroll please.
Hi, we're Ar. Arjun Marwaha and Ar. Pankhuri Bhatia, partners in design, adventure, and life!
A fun shot of us, the founders of Studio 8 Designs. We bring our energy and shared passion for design to every project.
Arjun's story: What started as a small experiment to fund his higher studies in the US turned into a thriving design studio with over 200 projects.
Pankhuri's story: I've always been that quiet kid with a sketchbook. My journey has taken me from studying in Bangalore to learning honest design practices in Ahmedabad and navigating the corporate world.
In the early years, Arjun worked on multiple residential projects but always enjoyed retail and commercial a little more. He built this studio from the ground up with passion and hard work.

About this collection
While our mood boards get the creative juices flowing, the magic truly happens on-site. We believe fancy software can only take you so far, which is why you will find us on the floor, working alongside our carpenters and contractors until the finish is exactly right. We don't just hand over plans; we stay until the space feels like home.
It all started as a side hustle while Arjun was studying, and today, we have completed over 400 projects. We are Arjun and Pankhuri, and Studio 8 Designs is our shared dream. Pankhuri brought the artistic, sketchbook-led approach, while Arjun pushed the execution and business side. Together, we found that the gap between a design and reality is bridged by persistence.
We are firm believers that delegation is leadership. Our team has grown, but our hands-on approach has not changed. Whether it is a luxury jewellery boutique or a corporate office, we don't just design the space. We are there, on-site, troubleshooting HVAC, checking stone finishes, and ensuring the lighting creates that perfect vibe. We invite you to be part of this process, from the first sketch to the final reveal.
Studio 8 Designs
We are Arjun and Pankhuri, partners in design, adventure, and everything in between. We built Studio 8 Designs on the belief that a space should be as unique as the people in it, and we are personally involved in every project that leaves our studio.
