Meet the Founders: Arjun and Pankhuri
We started as a small experiment and grew into a studio that loves building spaces as much as we love the journey. Get to know the people and the story behind Studio 8 Designs.
Hi, we're Architect Arjun Marwaha and Architect Pankhuri Bhatia. We're partners in design, adventure, and life, and we're so glad to share our journey with you.
Arjun's story: What started as a small experiment to fund his higher studies in the US turned into Studio 8 Designs, a thriving studio that has now completed over 200 projects.
In the early years, Arjun worked on multiple residential projects but always had a special love for retail and commercial design. He built this studio from the ground up with passion and hard work.
Pankhuri's story: I've always been that quiet kid with a sketchbook, dreaming of a life in design. My journey has taken me from Bangalore to Ahmedabad and into the corporate world, learning so much along the way.
Introducing the faces behind S8D! It's been a long time since we've done this. Drumrolls please!
A collage of our journey, from personal moments to proud project deliveries like The Comedy Theatre and Nido Rooftop Bar. We love lingering like proud parents after a space is complete.
Our team is our strength. We've learned that delegation isn't laziness; it's leadership in disguise. Here's a happy moment with our incredible team.
About Meet the Founders: Our Story
When you work with us, you are not just hiring a design firm, you are getting partners who are as invested in your space as you are. We firmly believe that quality carpentry and honest, on-site execution beat expensive software any day, which is why we stay deeply involved from the first moodboard until the final cushion is placed on your sofa.
Studio 8 Designs began as a side project for Arjun during his studies and evolved into a partnership of two, Pankhuri and Arjun. With over 400 projects completed, our journey has been defined by a simple, stubborn belief: turning pixels into places.
Arjun brought the drive and the operational experience, while Pankhuri brought the sketchbook and a background in honest, detail-oriented design. Together, we navigate the messy, demanding, and rewarding process of bringing a vision to life. We do not just hand over drawings and walk away. We are the ones on-site, dealing with the daily reality of construction, ensuring that the finish you see in our renders is exactly what you get at home.
We approach both residential villas and commercial cafes with the same mindset, keeping it functional, warm, and deeply rooted in who you are. We value long-term relationships over quick wins, and we are proud to say that much of our growth has come from people who saw us work and trusted us with their own spaces.
