We installed custom wooden louvred screens that allow the family to manually adjust light and shadow throughout the day, effectively turning the bedroom windows into a functional art piece while keeping the entire apartment connected to the outdoors. Architecture is an experience, not just a series of rooms. Whether we are designing a villa in a quiet community or a penthouse overlooking Bangalore’s tree canopies, our process remains grounded in simplicity and context. We prioritize natural materials—exposed brick, warm teak, and stone—to create spaces that feel honest and lived-in. We avoid mass-market finishes. Every project receives rigorous attention to climate analysis, from solar path mapping to cross-ventilation strategies, ensuring your home is comfortable year-round. For instance, in our recent projects, we emphasized floor-to-ceiling transitions, using large sliding doors to extend living areas onto terraces, blurring the line between inside and out. We believe in working on one space at a time with patience. Our goal is to create a home that grows with you, not one that looks like a showroom. If you prefer tactile, raw, and thoughtful design over the usual plastic, high-gloss finishes, we should talk. Let us help you plan a home that focuses on your lifestyle, your light, and your daily flow. ## About Studio XS We are Shivani and Sucheth, the architects behind Studio XS. We don't believe in batch-processing homes; we treat every villa and penthouse as a unique puzzle, using raw materials and natural light to turn your floor plan into a personal sanctuary.
