Uthan Design Studio
About the studio
Holistic approach for architectural projects.
Unlike traditional firms, we differentiate ourselves through our attention to detail and mindfulness when it comes to thinking about and planning a project. We are considerate of all the stakeholders when designing a solution for our clients.
The studio works across multiple areas as we intend to provide a one-stop and hassle-free solution. From designing the broader architectural elements to taking care of tiny details like fabricating a countertop or door, we make sure that every detail is noticed.
Decisions rarely stop at drawing, and through an iterative process, we try to achieve perfection. We build slowly and detail closely. Projects are developed through digital models and through drawings, and we stay on site through construction.
Areas of work
New-build and adaptive projects developed from site, structure and light — carried from first sketch through to construction.
