Mumbai · Powai

Architects and interior designers in Powai.

Lakeside towers, tech offices and homes for people who want both the city and some calm. We work across Powai, Hiranandani Gardens, Chandivali and the lake.

Designing for Powai

Powai grew around its lake into a planned township with residential towers, offices and the IIT Bombay campus. It is popular with professionals and families who want a slightly calmer, greener part of the city with good offices nearby.

Apartments here often have generous layouts and lake or hill views, and many owners are on their second renovation. We help rethink homes that no longer suit a growing family or a change in how people work, including space for a proper home office.

Powai and Chandivali are also major office locations, and we design workplaces for startups and established companies that want an office people actually enjoy coming to.

Process

Clear steps, no surprises.

Each stage ends with clear decisions, drawings and costs agreed with you before we move on.

Listen

We begin with conversations, not drawings. How you live or work, what you love about the places you know, what the budget and timeline really are.

Read the site

Sun paths, prevailing winds, views, neighbours, soil and regulations. The site sets the first rules of the design.

Concept

Sketches, models and early studies that test a few clear ideas. We choose one direction together before going further.

Design development

Plans, sections, materials and details refined with structural and services consultants, with cost checked at every stage.

Drawings & approvals

Complete construction drawings, specifications and the documentation needed for statutory approvals.

On site

Regular site visits, mock-ups and close work with contractors and craftspeople until the last detail is in place.

Questions about Powai

Nearby

Can you add a home office without losing a bedroom?

Often yes, with careful planning of storage, joinery and acoustics. Sometimes a well designed corner works better than a separate room.

Do you design offices for small teams?

Yes. Small offices benefit the most from careful planning because every desk and meeting space counts.

How are fees structured?

Fees depend on the scope, scale and complexity of the work. They are usually either a percentage of construction cost or a fixed fee per stage. We agree this in writing before design work begins.

What should I bring to the first meeting?

Anything you have: a site plan or address, photographs, a rough brief, images you like and an idea of budget and timeline. None of it needs to be complete.
