SANDARBH DESIGN STUDIO
Sandarbh specializes in the design of unique, custom spaces. We pride ourselves on our ability to listen to our clients’ needs and preferences, interpret these needs, and then transform them into beautiful and comfortable spaces. Our attention to detail is key to making our projects places of 'lived art'. We strive to blend our projects with the natural features of the site. We focus on maximizing sunlight and views, protecting existing mature vegetation, and creating privacy.
Sandarbh does not have a 'signature style'. We as architects deliberately allow our clients’ tastes and desires to direct the course of our design. We strive to provide you with interactive design experience. We find that through this process our clients’ participate in a creative and thought provoking experience that results in a unique, well-crafted, and beautiful space.

Kanan is an example of a house where the line between the garden and home is very small. Designed for a pilot for whom sleep was a premium, Kanan was designed with it's master bedroom being like a sanctuary. Step out of the house, and you feel grass under your feet. How amazing would that be!
