The TAPMI Centre in Manipal, an award-winning project where we designed a communal space sheltered by dramatic bamboo parasols. These structures emulate the surrounding trees, creating a porous, democratic area for interaction that is both monumental and deeply connected to nature.

In this Bengaluru residence, the dining area becomes a canvas for material richness. We juxtaposed bold green marble against warm wood and vibrant red chairs, using custom pendant lighting to create a sense of depth and resonance between space and memory.

For the Idylll restaurant, we created an immersive, earth-toned environment reminiscent of a monolith rising from the ground. The design uses a tactile palette of lime plaster, patterned granite, and custom terracotta artifacts to build a narrative rooted in timeless Indian traditions.

This private villa in Bengaluru showcases our concept of porous architecture, where the landscape becomes an integral part of the home. A facade of custom terracotta blocks and cascading greenery blurs the line between the built and the natural.

A detail from the Brick House, where the staircase is treated as a sculptural element. The interplay of black pigmented lime plaster, raw concrete, and natural light creates a dramatic, Escher-like geometry that evolves as you move through the space.

Circulation spaces within the MARC Auditorium are designed as cinematic thresholds. Here, a bold splash of yellow creates an atmospheric journey, guiding movement through a carefully choreographed play of color, light, and shadow.

In our design for the Ulsoor workspace, we brought the warmth of Old Bangalore indoors. A balcony with red oxide flooring opens up to the lush canopy of a raintree, making the natural context an active participant in the daily life of the office.

The rooftop terrace of a private villa, designed as a seamless extension of the living space. We used a combination of raw, tactile surfaces and curated greenery to create an urban oasis, a place where the home's rhythm continues to unfold under the open sky.

About Interior Design

My Take on Spaces

Interior design isn’t just about making things look pretty for me - it’s about weaving together stories, culture, and memory. Every project is a chance to create something rooted and layered, not just another picture-perfect room.

How I Build the Story

Every space starts with its own context - I like to dig into the site’s background, whether it’s the geography, local history, or lived traditions. A house in Atlanta might pull from Indian Stepwells, while a Bengaluru restaurant could be all about Jaipur vibes.
I work with a mix of diagrams and hands-on model making. Actually seeing and feeling the space before it’s built makes a real difference.
Local artisan collaboration is a big part of what I do. Bringing in the skills and crafts from the area, I try to blend them into a modern story. Old school meets new school.

What I Design

Homes with material-rich interiors - big windows, dramatic staircases, lots of natural light, always trying to keep things connected to nature.
Hospitality spots that feel immersive, where materials and lighting build the mood. I’m into custom furniture, curated lights, and spaces that just feel different.
Offices and retail that balance brand identity with local flavor. Think Old Bangalore warmth in a fresh workspace.
Institutions built for community - open terraces, amphitheater seating, and corridors that let people meet and mingle.

Materials I Love

I’m all for exposed brick, raw concrete, rammed earth, lime plaster, natural woods, and traditional red oxide. Spaces should age with you, not against you.

The Studio Spirit

We’re a bunch of designers, not just one. Non-linear thinkers, working bold but always keeping things deeply Indian. Every project is a new journey, and honestly, sometimes it’s messy - but that’s what keeps it real.

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.
