About this collection
Architecture is as much about the team as it is about the bricks and mortar. Studio XS is a melting pot of marathon runners, avid dancers, and perfectionists who live by our motto 'One in a Row'. When you work with us, you are not just hiring a firm; you are partnering with a close-knit group that treats your project with the same passion and focus we bring to our office life in Indiranagar.
Fourteen years ago, we started Studio XS with a simple belief: design should be an experience. Today, that vision is carried forward by a team of 'enthu cutlets'—a mix of architects, interns, and creative spirits who keep the energy high and the ideas fresh.
The Culture Behind the Design
Our studio isn't a silent, sterile workspace. You will find us debating the latest architectural trends, planning our next office party, or cheering on our in-house athletes. We believe that if we aren't having fun, we aren't creating our best work. This collaborative spirit means that every project benefits from multiple perspectives.
Our 'One in a Row' Philosophy
We don't batch-process buildings. We craft them, one at a time. Whether it is our all-Malayali intern gang bringing fresh energy or our experienced architects refining the technical details, everyone at the studio is dedicated to the 'One in a Row' mindset. This allows us to:
- Stay Context-Driven: We listen to the landscape, the wind, and the light.
- Focus on Rawness: We keep materials honest and structural elements exposed.
- Maintain Precision: From solar path analysis to complex masonry, we sweat the details so you don't have to.
Why Work With Us?
When you hire Studio XS, you get a team that is genuinely invested in your story. We bring our full selves to the drafting table, combining professional expertise with a vibrant, human-centered approach. We are based in Indiranagar and are always ready to start a conversation about your next home, office, or experience center.
