Studio Motley

About

We approach every project like a living canvas, not just a structure. For us, architectural design is about creating spaces that feel layered, tactile, and genuinely connected to both people and place.

What Shapes Our Spaces

• Nature is always part of the plan - think open courtyards, verandahs to watch the rain, and "borrowed landscapes" where your house almost steals a bit of that park next door.
• Light is a big deal for us. We play with skylights, canopies, and screens to create those shifting shadows and glowy corners that change through the day.
• We keep it real with materials. Exposed concrete interiors, natural wood, Kota or Sadarhalli stone, and brick - you’ll see these raw and honest in our work.

How We Design

• Adaptive open-plan spaces that can change as your life does. Sliding panels, see-through screens, rooms that open up or close off - we like flexibility.
• Every facade is thought through, not just for looks but to handle our crazy weather - jaalis and operable screens control sun, breeze, and privacy.
• Collaboration is at the heart of our process. Our team includes everyone - you, engineers, landscape folks, even local artisans.

Some Recent Work

• Biophilic home design in Bangalore with concrete canopies and triple-height light wells.
• A school made of pods and bamboo roofs.
• Clubhouses that reimagine the old-school jagali for modern living.

If you’re looking for a space that grows with you and feels rooted, that’s what gets us excited.
