Architecture & interiors,considered.

AANGAN is a practice of architecture and interiors founded on restraint — letting light, material, and proportion do the work. We design slowly, detail obsessively, and build spaces meant to age well.

An AANGAN space — light, material, and proportion

The practice

Kavya founded AANGAN in 2011 after years in practice between Ahmedabad and Mumbai. Her work is preoccupied with light, threshold, and the slow life of a material — buildings that feel inevitable rather than designed.

Approach

01

Consultation

We begin by listening — to how you live or work, the brief beneath the brief, and the budget that makes it real.

02

Concept & Site Study

Sun, wind, context, and constraint become the first drawings. We test the big move before we draw a single detail.

03

Design Development

Plans, sections, and material palettes are resolved together. Spaces are shaped, light is placed, proportion is tuned.

04

Detailing & Documentation

Every junction is drawn. The quiet precision here is what lets the finished space feel effortless and age well.

05

Execution & Supervision

We stay on site. Material samples, mock-ups, and a close hand on the build keep intent intact from drawing to room.

06

Handover

We hand over a space that is finished, documented, and ready to be lived in — and we stay close as it settles.
