Bangalore · Jayanagar
Interior designers and architects in Jayanagar.
Jayanagar is old Bangalore at its most settled. It has wide avenues and large family homes. Many owners have held the same plot for three generations. The work here is renovation more than rebuild, often for a joint family and often to vastu. We are an architect-led studio built for exactly that, with respect for what the house already is.
Residence interiors · BangaloreWhat we design here
Homes that have been lived in.
Jayanagar is one of Asia's largest planned layouts. It was built out from the late 1940s through the 1970s, into blocks of wide, tree-lined avenues. The houses here are large and old, on 60x40, 80x60 and bigger corner plots. Many have stayed with the same family across generations. That changes the brief. People here are rarely starting from an empty plot; they are reworking a home full of memory, structure and habit.
- ARenovations for multiple generations. Updating 1960s and 1970s homes for joint families. We handle wiring, plumbing and lifts, where the structure allows. The layout lets several generations share the house well.
- BVastu-sensitive planning. Kitchen, entrance and room placement, worked to vastu where the family wants it. We resolve this against daylight and ventilation, not at their expense.
- CKeeping what is worth keeping. A mature garden, an old mosaic or Cuddapah floor, a well-proportioned verandah. We design around the parts of the old home that still earn their place.

One local thing we plan for
Vastu without the compromise.
Vastu is a real need for many Jayanagar families. It matters here more than in most parts of Bangalore. We treat it as a real design input, not a checkbox. The honest part of the job is that vastu and good daylight can pull in different directions. The prescribed corner for a room is not always the one the sun favours. Our approach is simple. We plan to vastu where they want it. We are clear about where a rule and the light collide. Then we find a resolution that keeps both the intent and a home that works. These are solid load-bearing houses, often with older roof systems. So we assess the building before we add a floor or move a wall. We also phase the work, so they can stay in the home where that is possible.
Questions
Working in Jayanagar.
Do you renovate old family homes in Jayanagar? +
Yes. Much of our Jayanagar work is renovating 1960s and 1970s homes. Many have stayed with the same family for two or three generations. We update the wiring, plumbing and layout. We also keep what is worth keeping, from a mature garden to an old mosaic floor.
Can you plan a home for multi-generation living? +
Yes. Many homes here house joint or extended families. We plan for that directly. Ground-floor rooms and added lifts help, where the structure allows. We also plan separate but connected zones, so several generations live together well.
Do you design vastu-compliant homes? +
Yes, when you want it. Vastu adherence is common among the area's traditional owners. We plan the kitchen, entrance and rooms to vastu principles, where that matters to you. We resolve conflicts with light and ventilation sensibly, rather than harming the home.
Do old Jayanagar homes need a structural assessment before renovation? +
Usually yes. These homes are solid load-bearing masonry, with RCC or older roof systems. Before we open up walls or add a floor, we assess the structure. That way, the renovation is grounded in what the building can actually take.
Do you work elsewhere in South Bangalore? +
Yes. We work across South Bangalore. That includes nearby residence interiors, such as our Rajkamal Elegance project in JP Nagar. A Jayanagar home sits well within the area we cover closely.
How far is your studio from Jayanagar? +
Our studio is in Basavanagudi, in South Bangalore, which makes Jayanagar the next neighbourhood over. We can be on site quickly and often. We still run routine design reviews over video, so a decision never waits on traffic.
