Custom Architectural Details and Unique Home Interiors
I believe the soul of a home hides in the details. From custom wooden staircases to hand-crafted wall art, we ensure every corner tells your specific story.
I am Vinay Mohan, the principal architect and founder. My passion is to craft spaces that reflect your vision, lifestyle, and aspirations, creating homes that tell your unique story.

About this collection
A beautiful home is not just about the layout; it is about how the materials meet. We often work with local craftsmen to create custom features like our signature floating staircases or hand-carved partitions. When you choose to design these elements, you are not just buying furniture; you are ensuring your home has a tactile, personal connection that mass-produced designs simply cannot replicate.
Our approach relies on the principle that a well-designed space is a sum of its intentional parts. In this collection, we showcase how simple materials can become focal points when treated with care. Whether it is a floating wooden staircase at Sa Sha Villa or a custom metal sun-art installation, every piece is designed to solve a specific problem while adding character to your room.
We avoid standard, off-the-shelf solutions. Instead, we collaborate with skilled local artisans to execute technical drawings for fixed furniture, joinery, and specialized wall treatments. This process starts with site context analysis and continues through the installation phase. We believe that your home should reflect your specific lifestyle, which is why our interior execution covers everything from Marine Ply cabinetry with Hettich hardware to traditional mural placements.
If you are planning a renovation or building a new villa, consider how these smaller elements—like the flow between your living and dining areas or the integration of natural light—affect your daily comfort. We are here to help you navigate those decisions, ensuring that the final build is as functional as it is beautiful.
VM Architects
I am Vinay Mohan, and for me, architecture is personal. My team and I focus on the small things, like the grain of the wood or the angle of the light, because that is what makes a house a home. We build spaces where traditional Kerala charm meets the clean lines of modern living.
