Architects & interior designers in Goa
Weekend homes and boutique stays that breathe — passive cooling, laterite, lime and deep verandahs built for the monsoon.
Working in Goa
Goa asks for a different kind of building: one that welcomes the monsoon instead of fighting it. We design with laterite, lime plaster and generous roof overhangs — houses that stay cool without a compressor.
The studio currently has villa and hospitality work in Assagao, Siolim and Moira, all with local craft teams we've built over several seasons.
Monthly site weeks in North Goa; monsoon-season surveys welcome.

What we do
Three disciplines, one hand
Most projects fall apart between consultants. Ours don't — architecture, interiors and styling are designed together, by the same team, from day one.
01Architecture
New builds, extensions and adaptive reuse — from concept design through municipal approvals to site supervision. We design in section and in sunlight, not just in plan.
- Concept & schematic design
- Approvals & documentation
- Site supervision
02Interior Design
Complete interiors for homes, hotels and offices: spatial planning, custom joinery, lighting, and finishes resolved down to the last shadow gap.
- Spatial planning
- Custom joinery & lighting
- Material & finish palettes
03Furniture & Styling
The final, decisive layer — loose furniture, art placement, textiles and objects, sourced or made, so a finished site becomes a finished home.
- FF&E procurement
- Bespoke furniture
- Art & object curation
Client words
What it’s like to build with us
They designed the house around the way we actually live — down to where the morning tea happens. Two years in, we still discover small kindnesses in the design.

Asked before every project
Design fees typically run 8–12% of the construction budget, quoted precisely after a scoping call. For interiors, most clients invest ₹2,500–₹4,500 per sq ft in construction and furnishing depending on finishes. We publish a transparent bill of quantities before you commit to build.
A single-room edit runs 6–10 weeks. Full home interiors take 7–11 months from first meeting to styled handover. Ground-up architecture is typically 18–30 months including approvals. We commit to a dated programme at the end of concept design.
Yes. The studio is based in Bengaluru with active projects in Mumbai, Goa, Hyderabad, Kochi and Jaipur. For remote sites we pair our design team with a vetted local execution partner and travel for every critical stage.
We can, after a qualification round — we share our drawing standards and a sample detail package to make sure the fit is right. Many clients prefer our empanelled contractors, who already build to our tolerances.
Our Room Edit engagement exists exactly for this: one room, fully resolved. It is also how many clients begin before trusting us with the whole house.
Three things: we design around light before layout; we draw everything (no 'as per vendor' details); and we stay accountable after handover with a six-month living review. The result is fewer surprises and rooms that age well.
