A small studio, drawn in full
One table. Every project is modelled in full and carried to construction documentation here, by the people who designed it.
A building is a functional programme first
Everything else follows from getting that right. The studio treats inhabitable space as a live thing, a set of interactions between the people in it, the climate around it and the way it is built. The design process is a long argument with that programme until the plan stops fighting it.
We hold to material purity and aim at serenity, so that the delight a house gives is the kind that stays. That position came out of training under Kamal Mangaldas, and it has not moved much since.
Nothing is fudged in two dimensions to save modelling time. The habit costs more at the front and pays for itself on site, and the drawings it produces are the subject of their own page.
How we draw: the Drawing BoardThe people
Architects and a landscape architect at one table. Small enough that the person you write to is the person who draws your building, and who is on site when it is built.
Shrutiniwas Sharma
Fifteen years across practice, construction technology and teaching. M.Tech from IIT Delhi, B.Arch from MANIT Bhopal. Before the studio, Shapoorji Pallonji, Saint-Gobain Research and the RICS School of Built Environment: a decade spent as close to how buildings are actually put together as to how they are drawn.
Founded STUDIO Shrutiniwas in 2017 and has led every project in it since. He also teaches working drawings and project management at SPA Delhi as visiting faculty, and lectures at IITs, CPWD and industry bodies, in an individual capacity, alongside the practice.

Anumeha Singh
Fifteen years across the public and the private realm. M.Arch in Landscape Architecture from SPA Delhi, B.Arch from NIT Raipur. Before this, the Delhi Development Authority, WSP and Brookfield Properties, and project landscape architect at GMR.
She has shaped the ground of every house the studio has built: planting, water and level worked out with the plan rather than laid over it once the shell is up.

Sudhanshu Shekhar
Came to the studio as an intern in 2023, was taught here, and returned as an architect in 2025. B.Arch from SPA Delhi, Graphisoft BIM Certified since 2024.
He carries the models from design development through to GFC, currently NYAY Villa 105 and The Jaunsar at Chakrata.
LinkedInWhat the studio takes on
The position does not depend on the building type. The studio draws for any programme that will let it hold that position: the house, the school, the hospital, the hill resort, the public building.
Architecture
Any kind, any scale, anywhere. Concept through construction documentation. What the studio asks of a project is a design focus and a sensibility to work with, not a particular building type.
Landscape
Ground, planting and water designed with the plan, not after it.
Interior
For the studio's own buildings, and at the top end. The interior language here is deliberately restrained, and that is the work it suits.
Urban design
Master planning and the public realm. The commission the studio is looking for.
