THE DESIGN WORKSHOP
Since our founding in 2016, The Design Workshop has grown into one of Bangalore’s most dynamic design studios, weaving together influences from Sri Lanka, Auroville, London, and beyond. We’re passionate about creating spaces that are as beautiful as they are practical, offering tailored solutions that blend elegance with flexibility to suit your unique needs.
Firm Philosophy
At the heart of our philosophy is a simple belief: architecture and design can transform lives. That’s why we start every project by listening closely to our clients, ensuring every solution we craft is thoughtful, purposeful, and personal. It’s not just about building spaces—it’s about shaping experiences.
Our studio thrives on diversity, working across architecture (both commercial and residential), urban design, and interior design for homes and corporate spaces. From sleek residential interiors to school renovations, estate homes, and vibrant co-working offices, our portfolio is a vibrant medley of projects that reflect our versatility and commitment to excellence.
Leading the charge are Aanchal and Goutham, our founders who met as architecture students before embarking on wildly different paths of exploration. Years later, they reunited, discovering that their contrasting journeys sparked a creative synergy. Their shared principles and complementary styles form the backbone of our studio, infusing every project with innovation and harmony.
Welcome to The Design Workshop—where ideas take shape, and spaces come to life.
