Inclusive Methods. Exclusive Design.
A new-school approach to a timeless practice
We are an Architectural and Interior Design Studio based in Bangalore, and we have been designing and building since 2015. Led by Kaushik Kumar and Chandrakanth GM, we have designed and executed many diverse projects all over India, bringing our own flavor to each and every one of them.
We believe in Simplicity and Innovation, with a very strong emphasis on Empathetic Design. We love to explore the Intersections between Art, Music, Functionality, and Engineering - and apply this thinking to Domains in and beyond Architectural Design. Personally, we dabble in fields beyond Architecture as well : Kaushik being a well known musician and bass guitarist, and Chandrakanth holding his own among many of the amateur chefs in Bangalore.
We run a small, tight organization. This gives us the flexibility to concentrate our efforts on the design and Client satisfaction, while still being able to maintain a high quality of innovation and pure design nous. We are also always open to the occasional philosophical banter, and love to have long conversations about how space and humanity are intrinsically and psychologically connected on a very deep level.
We believe in designing the bigger picture.
Openness and Multi-functionality was the core of this Design.
This mitigated the lack of usable flood space and Inadequate natural lighting.
The design was carried through in the same vein, using natural materials.
Here’s a look at how our projects take shape:
We start our project with a deep dive into the collective vision.
We want to hear stories, discuss ideas, and ascertain the true nature of what we’re setting out to do, over some freshly brewed coffee.
This journey begins with asking the right questions, understanding the need of our Clients, going into the inspiration for the space, looking at detailed references, and putting a basic project brief together.
Once we have all the information we need and we’ve established our methodology, we get to the drawing board (and sometimes our LEGO blocks).
This stage is when we collaborate with our clients over various stages to conceptually finalise the design and 3D. We then create the first cut of our proprietary Design Manual, with all of the conceptual design details laid out clearly, and options to interactively finalize the final costs, materials and finishes for the Project
Once the conceptual designs are green-lit, we will finalize and deliver our proprietary Design Manual, which will contain all the necessary 2D and 3D Drawings, Materials, Finishes and other Detailed Drawings in one In-depth Document .
An estimated Project timeline, Instructional manual and estimated Bill of Quantities will also be part of the Design Manual, along with recommendations for an Execution partner, if requested by the Client.
We're sticklers for detail and love a well finished Project.
To check if everything is executed as per the design, we visit sites regularly and supervise the quality and finish of the Execution. We share updates at every stage of the construction process by comparing the Executed work with the Visualized Design and Build Quality.
Regular reviews and meetings are also done to verify consistency and report any oversight to our Clients.
We’re the only cartel in the world that will tell you our location.
