ABOUT

LAYERS Studios for Design & Architecture understands that built environments in today’s times are complex structures with numerous overlapping layers of activity, functions, usage patterns, aesthetics, desires, and prospects for the future. We, at our studio, try to understand all the needs of our clients from their projects and provide comprehensive design solutions based on their individual requirements and aspirations. Working in the fields of Architecture, Landscape Design, and Interior design, the aim of the practice has been to incorporate local traditions, international ideas, respect for the environment, and cutting-edge technology in its design
sensibilities. The studio strongly believes that all design activity should be a “way of life” which governs our decisions at every point in our daily lives.

The studio also collaborates with professionals from various related fields such as product & furniture design, interaction design, craftsmen, and even the humble mason on the site to develop its ideas and designs.

LSDA’s work has been widely featured & notably appreciated with the firm also being a part of the prestigious Design x Design 7th 20 under 35 Annual Exhibition, 2017.

Currently, the studio is based in Delhi NCR and is headed by Neha Bhardwaj and Gaurav Kapoor, architecture graduates from the School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi.
