Private Residential Design & Build
Craft · Precision · Character
Start a Private Project →"Every residence is a singular act of architecture. We do not replicate — we compose."
KRIA was founded on a single conviction: that a private residence is the most personal form of architecture. It is not a product to be configured from a catalogue. It is a precise response to a specific life — its rhythms, its values, its material preferences, its aspirations.
We work exclusively on private residential commissions — architecture, renovation, and complete interior transformation — in India's most discerning cities.
About the Studio →Every material is selected for its intrinsic quality. Every joint, every reveal, every surface is detailed with the care of a master craftsperson. Nothing is approximate.
Design is a discipline of decisions. We refine until every proportion, every junction, every detail is exactly right. Precision is not perfectionism — it is respect for the craft.
A KRIA residence has a point of view. It does not look like everything else. It looks like you — but resolved and elevated beyond what you imagined possible.
Jubilee Hills Residence — Hyderabad
New construction, extensions and structural transformation of private residences — from concept through completion.
Complete interior transformation — space planning, built elements, ceiling architecture, lighting design and material specification.
Bespoke kitchen design and manufacture — cabinetry, stone, appliance integration and material detailing to the highest residential standard.
Master suites, bespoke wardrobes and dressing rooms designed as private sanctuaries — each one unique to its occupant.
Stone, timber and bronze — premium wellness spaces designed around natural materials and precision fixture specification.
HVAC, electrical, automation, AV and security — fully integrated and architecturally invisible.
Private gardens, terraces, pools and outdoor living — the residence continues beyond the glass wall.
Full architecture, interior, landscape and systems — one contract, one creative direction, zero coordination burden.

Every material we specify has a reason. We work with stone, timber and metal that age gracefully — that improve with time rather than deteriorate.

Jubilee Hills Residence — Night
We begin with a private conversation — no presentations, no portfolios. We listen.
Existing site survey, structural assessment and full documentation before any design begins.
We develop one considered direction — not three options. Precise, resolved and specific to you.
Full working drawings, material specification, engineering coordination and vendor selection.
We procure all materials, fixtures and furniture on your behalf. No mark-up surprises.
Site management, quality control and craft supervision throughout construction and fit-out.
Rigorous snagging and review before handover. We do not leave until the work meets our standard.
A complete residence — with full documentation, warranty schedules and ongoing support.
KRIA accepts commissions across ten cities — each project managed from our Hyderabad studio with dedicated site presence throughout.
KRIA was founded by Katike Baloji and Krishnaveni with a singular purpose: to build private residences of genuine architectural quality for discerning clients across India.
We are not a large practice. We do not accept more projects than we can personally oversee. Every commission receives the full attention of both founders — from the first conversation to the final handover.
Our work is private by nature. We do not publish projects without client permission. We do not enter awards. We do not seek press coverage. Our only measure of success is the quality of what we build.
We accept a limited number of commissions each year. If you are considering a significant residential project, we welcome an initial conversation.
