01The Studio
A committed team, and one integrated vision. Introspective, moving from the individual to the collective, and unhurried.
Established in 2007 by Vijay V. Raikar, Ghanasham C. Shaldar and Premanand B. Shetty, IA Studio practises architecture and interior design across a broad range of programmes and scales. For us, architecture is a lot more than aesthetics. It is about the soul.

Our belief
Architecture, for us, is a lot more than aesthetics. It is about the soul — about becoming enamoured with an idea and engaging persistently for its actualisation.
