Interarch Design Labs studio
About

A multidisciplinary practice, shaped by four decades of intent.

Mumbai - Est. 1989
Interarch Design Labs studio

Shaped by over four decades of experience in the built environment. Formed through the coming together of Interarch and Kala Design Studio, the practice brings together decades of experience across architecture, interiors, planning, and design strategy.

We believe meaningful design emerges from understanding. Understanding people, understanding context, and understanding the purpose a space is meant to serve. Our process is thoughtful and deliberate. Ideas are questioned, refined, and challenged until they arrive at their clearest expression. Every line, material, and detail is considered through the lens of longevity, functionality, and human experience.

Whether designing a private residence, a workplace, a hospitality destination, or an institutional campus, our goal remains the same: to create spaces that feel relevant today and remain valuable for years to come.

The conviction
Mission

To deliver architecture and interior design solutions that balance creativity, functionality, technical excellence, and long-term value. We work closely with clients, consultants, and stakeholders to transform ideas into spaces that are thoughtfully designed, efficiently executed, and built to perform beyond expectations.

Vision

To be a practice that shapes the built environment through design that remains relevant, responsible, and valuable for generations. We envision a future where architecture and interiors are judged not only by how they look, but by how effectively they serve people, communities, businesses, and the changing needs of society.

01Understanding Before DesigningEvery project begins with listening, learning, and understanding the people, context, and purpose behind it.
02Purpose In Every DecisionFrom concept to execution, every detail is intentional and contributes to a larger vision.
03Built To EndureWe create spaces that remain relevant, functional, and valuable long after they are completed.

Culture

How the studio works, every day.

Design Process

Collaborative, transparent, detail-driven.

From research and concept development to execution and delivery, every stage is approached with equal attention and rigor. We believe thoughtful outcomes are achieved through careful listening, strategic thinking, and disciplined execution.

Design Mentorship

Knowledge is our most valuable resource.

Through active mentorship and hands-on learning, young designers work alongside experienced professionals, gaining exposure to real projects, real challenges, and meaningful opportunities for growth.

Internships

More than a learning experience.

Internships at IDL are an opportunity to become part of a design culture that values curiosity, initiative, and experimentation. Interns are encouraged to contribute, ask questions, and participate in the creative process from day one.

Working at IDL means being part of a team where ideas are welcomed, contributions are valued, and learning never stops. We celebrate creativity, encourage ownership, and strive to create an environment where talented individuals can do their best work - because great spaces are created by great teams.
