Our Featured Architectural and Interior Projects
We see architecture as a cultural catalyst. This collection of our work spans institutional campuses and private homes, unified by a desire to make spaces that breathe, endure, and tell a deeply Indian story.
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 Featured
We approach every site as an opportunity to revive traditional craftsmanship. From the bamboo parasols at our TAPMI Centre project to the black pigmented lime plaster defining the Brick House, our work focuses on materials that age gracefully, ensuring that your space feels grounded in its environment from the first day.
At The Purple Ink Studio, we treat architecture as a cultural catalyst. Whether we are designing a private villa in Bengaluru or an institutional campus in Manipal, our goal remains the same: to create porous, democratic spaces that allow for human connection. Our process is rooted in a deep respect for context, geography, and memory, allowing us to build narratives that evolve with the inhabitants.
Our design philosophy relies on a tactile palette. We prioritize materials that gain character over time, such as raw concrete, exposed brick, natural wood, and traditional red oxide. In projects like Project 58 or the Ulsoor workspace, you can see how we blend these with local artisanal skills to create environments that feel like they have always belonged to the land.
We offer two primary paths to working with us:
-
Signature Turnkey Residential Interiors: We provide end-to-end execution, from the initial narrative and 3D visualization to structural modifications, custom joinery, and the application of specialized finishes like rammed earth and lime plaster. This is for clients who want us to hold the reins throughout the entire build.
-
Architectural Interior Design Consultancy: If you already have a construction team in place, we offer design-only services. We provide the concept, 3D renders, detailed technical drawings, and periodic site supervision to ensure the design intent is realized accurately by your contractors.
Our studio operates as a tribe of designers, and we believe that the best work happens when we question, explore, and build something non-linear together. If you are looking for spaces that balance bold, modern thinking with Indian roots, let us start a conversation.
The Purple Ink Studio
We are a group of non-linear thinkers who believe a home or a campus is a memory waiting to happen. For over 13 years, our village of designers has been focused on keeping architecture rooted, bold, and unapologetically Indian in spirit.
