ARCHITECTURE + INTERIOR DESIGN ǀ BENGALURU

Why Choose Us Tailored Design Approach: Every project is rooted in the client's aspirations. We spend hours with you, your family to understand what spaces would suit you rathar than a one size fits all approach.

Design with Foresight We design with foresight — thinking ahead, imagining how spaces will be lived in tomorrow, and creating architecture that endures. Our work is about pushing boundaries, not for novelty’s sake, but to craft solutions that are progressive, meaningful, and lasting.

Sustainability We aim to build sustainably through our material approach and construction techniques. We actively explore eco-friendly methods that optimise the building life cycle, such as rammed earth, poured earth, agrocrete, compressed earth blocks, and timber structures. We have gained knowledge in regenerative materials and circular building solutions from ETH Zürich, and bring this thinking into how we design and build.

The Process We remain on board from start to finish helping you throughout the process outlined below:

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN Architectural design includes all core-shell works (exterior works) and is inclusive of all floorings, doors, windows and bathroom flooring/wall finishes and sanitary fixtures.

The stages of deliverables shall be as follows: Stage-1: Concept Stage (Planning) Stage-2: Schematic Stage (3D view/Sanctions) Stage-3: Design development (co-ordination with consultants, estimation) Stage-4: Construction drawings (good for construction drawings) Stage-5: During construction to completion (site vists)

INTERIOR DESIGN Interior design includes all ply, wood and kitchen cabinetry related works. It also includes soft furnishings such as curtains and curtain rods/channels.

The stages of deliverables shall be as follows: Stage-1: Concept Stage (Basic 3D views, mood images) Stage-2: Schematic Stage (moodboard, realistic 3D views) Stage-3: Construction drawings (good for construction drawings, materials selections) Stage-4: During construction to completion (site vists, material selections)

Our Works

SN Residence Swiss Town, Devanhalli Status: Ongoing Plot area: 4875 Sq.ft Designed for a couple with roots in Kashmir, SN Residence draws quietly on that heritage — a home shaped as much by memory of landscape as by the site itself. The design translates the valley's relationship with nature into a Bengaluru context: generous, open volumes that breathe, and a plan that treats the garden not as leftover ground but as the organising idea of the house.

The site's large existing trees were retained and the plan arranged around them, so the built form defers to what was already growing there. At the heart of the home, a new tree is planted at the centre of the plan — a living anchor around which daily life turns, and a gesture that recalls the great chinars that hold court in Kashmiri courtyards and gardens.

Salmon House Kengeri, Bengaluru Status: Completed November 2023 Plot Area: 1200 Sq. Ft. Tucked away in the serene suburbs of Kengeri, this residence spans a carpet area of 1400 Sq. Ft. and was thoughtfully designed to accommodate a couple along with the son’s parents. The client’s brief included a specific request for a media room on the rooftop and four bedrooms.

Given the dimensions of the plot, the design strategy was to optimize the building area to its fullest potential.

The client’s design aesthetic was envisioned around opulent interiors and a simple yet striking exterior. Given the windowless front, I introduced a layer of intrigue to the facade by incorporating a perforated metal layer. This design element, coupled with the strategic use of empty spaces, lends a balanced look to the G+3 structure. The facade is completed with a subtle pink hue for the metal, harmonizing with the simplicity of the design. To further blend with the local environment, bougainvillea was planted at the sides, adding a touch of greenery.

Hues Apartments Domlur, Bengaluru Status: Ongoing Plot Area: 2400 Sq. Ft. Situated as a standalone, west-facing apartment building, the client’s primary requirement was a unique one - a three-bedroom house, each with an attached bathroom, and an additional powder room.

This specification is rather unusual for a plot of this size. The client also expressed a preference for the aesthetic combination of exposed brick and concrete in the design.

Typical Floor Plan

The design capitalizes on large balconies while ensuring privacy from the south through the use of perforated clay panels, accentuated with black metal elements. The northern curve serves as a counterpoint to the stark balconies, softening the overall mass with its thoughtfully positioned openings. The stilt floor accommodates a guard room and four spacious car parks.

Ekhaya Mysore Status: Ongoing Plot Area: 6700 Sq. Ft.

Ekhaya is a spacious 4 bedroom house with an open plan concept for a retired couple. The house is styled in traditional sloped roofs with clay tiles and with all modern amenities. The house is an ode to the vernacular style of this region but internally has all modern amenities like central AC and complete home automation.

Ground Floor Plan

First Floor Plan

Rainwater harvesting and solar panels are planned to make the house more sustainable along with the use of agrocrete blocks. The open planning allows for more free flow and a relaxing interiors. Bricks layed in a screen pattern are placed in front of semi open spots to allow privacy and a beautiful play of light and shadow.

This interior design narrative is deeply personal — a spatial retelling of the client's journey across different parts of the world. Each room draws from a distinct cultural landscape, yet the home reads as one cohesive whole rather than a collection of themes. This balance is achieved through restraint: a soothing, understated material palette that ties every space back to a common thread.

At the heart of the design philosophy is a reverence for natural, honest materials. The Kota stone flooring, with its muted grey-green depth and gentle sheen, grounds the interiors and lends them a quiet, earthy dignity.

Overhead, the Mangalore tiles bring warmth, texture, and a distinctly regional character — a nod to the vernacular traditions of the land the house sits on. These materials are not treated as backdrops; they are the protagonists of the design.

The furniture, in turn, is deliberately subtle. Clean-lined, softly toned, and tactile, it recedes gracefully to let the architecture and materials speak. Nothing competes; everything converses. The result is an interior that feels layered yet calm — a home where memories of distant places settle comfortably into the textures of local craft.

Apt 2195 @ PNP HRBR Layout Status: Completed 2024

This house was envisioned to be a dainty home for and elderly mother. This is reflected in the scale of the design as well as the muted soft pink colour palette. The client wanted a ''a space for everything'' to avoid the look of clutter. The kitchen wall cabinet height is considered lower than standard to accomodate the client's limited mobility and also add more storage.

APPROACH Suikabox advocates for innovative architectural solutions that are client centric. Our ideology grows around architecture that respects its context and works with the existing environment.

Our approach to material specification is grounded in formal training from ETH Zürich (Regenerative Materials: Circular Building Solutions) — translating circular construction principles into built work through carbon-negative masonry, rainwater percolation, and passive design strategies.

RESPONSIBILITY We understand what it means to carry projects from design to delivery and to execute a project that is informed by the realites of construction. Hence, we work closely with the contractor to deliver your project.

We believe in creating spaces of fulfillment through thoughtful design.

I studied architecture at BNCA (Dr. B. N. College of Architecture), Pune, and have spent the past 12 years working across single-family residences, large apartment complexes, hospitality, and commercial projects. I honed my craft at offices such as Sanjay Puri Architects and Total Environment Building Systems, Studio Toggle where I developed a rigorous approach to design and detail.

My design philosophy is rooted in minimalism without loss of identity — creating spaces of quiet fulfillment that honour the past while embracing the present. I believe good architecture demands constant learning, and I make it a point to keep updating my knowledge across materials, construction techniques, and sustainable building practices so that every project benefits from current, well-researched thinking.

I founded Suikabox in 2024 with a simple intention: to stay a small, closely-knit team that works with passion and personal investment on every project, rather than growing into a large office where that intimacy is lost. For us, staying small is not a limitation — it is the foundation of our dedication to our clients and our craft.
