Architecture for us? It’s never just walls and roofs. Like, designing Jindal Public School in Dabaspet—free education, real impact—made us believe good design can change lives. And that family home for Sri Veerendra Hegde ji in Mangalore? Still gives us goosebumps. That feeling, sitting at a finished site, just happy. That’s what keeps us going. ### My work - **What we do**: Architecture, Interior Design, Urban Design for homes, F&B, retail, and offices. - **Blending Old & New**: We love mixing earthy industrial home design with a bit of Bali inspired interiors, especially in Bengaluru. - **How we work**: Every project is personal. We listen, look at the site, work with what’s there—trees, light, you name it. - **Attention to Craft**: Big on Indian craftsmanship in interiors and picking materials that feel right for the place. ## Book To book Studio Skapa, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'd%20like%20to%20book%20Studio%20Skapa.)
