"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.

What defines KRIA
01

Craft

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.

02

Precision

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.

03

Character

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.

What we do

Eight disciplines.
One seamless process.

01

03

Kitchens & Dining

Bespoke kitchen design and manufacture — cabinetry, stone, appliance integration and material detailing to the highest residential standard.

04

Bedrooms & Dressing

Master suites, bespoke wardrobes and dressing rooms designed as private sanctuaries — each one unique to its occupant.

05

Bathrooms & Wellness

Stone, timber and bronze — premium wellness spaces designed around natural materials and precision fixture specification.

06

Engineering & Systems

HVAC, electrical, automation, AV and security — fully integrated and architecturally invisible.

07

Outdoor & Landscape

Private gardens, terraces, pools and outdoor living — the residence continues beyond the glass wall.

08

Natural.
Timeless.
Precise.

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

How we work

The KRIA Method.
Eight phases.

01

Private Consultation

We begin with a private conversation — no presentations, no portfolios. We listen.

02

Condition Study

Existing site survey, structural assessment and full documentation before any design begins.

03

Design Direction

We develop one considered direction — not three options. Precise, resolved and specific to you.

04

Technical Development

Full working drawings, material specification, engineering coordination and vendor selection.

05

Procurement

We procure all materials, fixtures and furniture on your behalf. No mark-up surprises.

06

Execution

Site management, quality control and craft supervision throughout construction and fit-out.

07

Quality Review

Rigorous snagging and review before handover. We do not leave until the work meets our standard.

08

Handover

A complete residence — with full documentation, warranty schedules and ongoing support.

Where we work

India's most discerning cities.

KRIA accepts commissions across ten cities — each project managed from our Hyderabad studio with dedicated site presence throughout.

KRIA — The studio, Hyderabad

One idea, pursued without compromise.

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.

A residence begins
with a private conversation.

We accept a limited number of commissions each year. If you are considering a significant residential project, we welcome an initial conversation.
