Behind the Scenes at Studio XS
We believe architecture is about people, process, and a little bit of fun. Get a peek into our Indiranagar studio culture, our design philosophy, and the team that brings your projects to life.
Meet Klause, our most experienced employee and the goodest boy. He supervises all design discussions and is an expert napper.

This or That, the Studio XS version. See where our team's loyalties lie when it comes to design choices and work habits.
Studio Playbook rule #2: Sunlight is free. Use it generously. Even if it means using a drawing as a sun shield.
About this collection
You might wonder how a studio balances tight construction deadlines with a culture that thrives on team bonding. Our process is transparent, and we invite you to see that our 'One in a Row' motto is not just a phrase—it is the energy we bring to your project. When you walk into our Indiranagar design studio, you don't just see floor plans; you see a team that lives and breathes design, making sure every detail, from the first sketch to the final site inspection, gets our full attention.
Behind Our Design Philosophy
Architecture can often feel like a stiff, corporate affair, but at Studio XS, we do things differently. Our studio in Indiranagar is a hub of activity where design happens alongside team potlucks, brainstorm sessions on the climbing wall, and naps taken by our resident office supervisor, Klause. This isn't just about office culture; it is about how we approach your space. A team that laughs together, experiments together, and handles the pressure of construction sites together is a team that communicates better.
The XS Playbook
We work by a set of unwritten rules that define our design output:
- Circulation is key: We don't view pathways as empty space; they are opportunities to create better flow, as demonstrated by our own studio climbing wall.
- Natural light is non-negotiable: We use it generously because it costs nothing and changes everything.
- Context matters: Whether we are designing a luxury villa or a minimalist apartment, we consider the surrounding environment first.
- No shortcuts: Sometimes the solution isn't a quick fix, and we are honest about when a design challenge requires patience rather than a quick patch.
We believe in transparency. When you choose us, you are getting architects who are deeply invested in your project's story. We aren't just here to execute a drawing; we are here to partner with you through the messy, exciting process of building your dream home or office. Whether you are looking for Neo-Japandi interiors or a high-end penthouse renovation, you are getting the same dedicated crew that values craft, client relationships, and a good cup of chai.
