About Architectural Design
We see architecture as a living, breathing thing - not just walls and roofs, but spaces that tell stories and spark memories. Our work is proudly Indian in its spirit, drawing from the past but always looking for new ways to shape the future.
Our Way of Thinking
- Every project starts with a story. Sometimes that comes from the local culture or a quirky bit of history, sometimes from a wild idea.
- We don't force our designs onto a site. Instead, the landscape, climate, and local vibe guide us, making sure the building feels like it truly belongs.
- We believe in context-driven architecture, so what works in Goa won't always work in Gurugram.
Our Method
- Honest materials are our jam. Raw brick, concrete, bamboo, and black stone, often left exposed, give our spaces a real, grounded feel.
- We don't just draw - we build models, test ideas, and get our hands dirty.
- Love working with local artisans to revive traditional building techniques, like red oxide floors or lime plaster, but always with a twist.
What We Do
- From learning campuses with open courtyards and winding paths, to homes that blur the line between inside and outside, we design for people, not just for awards.
- Our public spaces are open, interactive, and community-centric - more adda, less monument.
We keep things bold and rooted, making sure every design is a fresh take, but still feels like home.

My Story
We started The Purple Ink Studio over 13 years ago, honestly, just a bunch of us wanting to make something together. We’re more a tribe than a company. India’s changing, and we try to keep up—rooted, but curious. Our Winged Tiger Sessions? That’s us, chatting with quiet creators shaping this place. Architecture for us is just life, memory, and a bit of guts—always weaving our stories into something bigger.
My Work
What We Do - We design architecture, landscapes, and interiors for campuses, homes, and cultural spaces, always with a community-centered touch.
Our Way of Thinking - We see architecture as a cultural spark. Every project is about memory, place, and spaces that give back.
Material Love - We play with concrete, stone, brick, and revive local crafts—think red oxide flooring revival and bamboo, from smooth to rugged.
How We Design - Porous architecture design, shifting volumes, inward-looking buildings—spaces that breathe and blend with their land.
Who We Click With - Best with folks who come with open minds, ready to question, explore, and build something non-linear together.
