AKSHATA ANVAY NAIK
FOUNDER & CEO
Akshata is the force behind some of the most fascinating spaces that this studio has produced.

A passionate designer at heart, Akshata believes that one of the best ways to show that we care about our clients is to make a positive impact in their lives by creating a lasting story of their spatial experience through the award winning Architecture and Interior Design Legacy of her late husband Mr. Anvay Naik. Ever since the year 1992, she is the one who is focused on the application of new materials and is constantly exploring the relationship between the outside and inside.

All great designs have a sense of the dynamic, the transitional and the ritual.

With nearly over an astounding three decades of practice, she has completed a series of projects including large-scale commercial and residential architecture, creative spaces, corporate offices, media offices, and healthcare facilities. Akshata's work is defined by courage, resilience and optimism. She believes wholeheartedly that good design is a luxury that everyone deserves.
