Interior Design · Bengaluru
By Ar. Apoorva Lekha, Managing Principal Architect, AD Studio 9 · RR Nagar, Bengaluru.
Interior design services cover the full shaping of a home’s inside: layout, light, materials, and built detail, from first consultation to finished space. At AD Studio 9 in RR Nagar, we design interiors as biophilic by default: naturally lit, cross-ventilated, and built from honest materials, so your Bengaluru home stays cool and calm without depending on the air conditioner. Plan your interiors with a free consultation at our studio.
The service
Interior design services include space planning, lighting, material and finish selection, built-in detailing, and furnishing, delivered from first consultation through design to a finished space. At AD Studio 9, one team carries the whole arc, so the interiors you approve in design are the interiors you live in.
We learn how you live and what the space has to do.
We fix the layout, light, materials, and detailing.
Our team builds and supervises it to completion.
In practice that means three plain stages: a consultation where we understand how you live and what the space has to do, a design phase that fixes the layout, light, materials, and detailing, and an execution phase where our team builds and supervises it to completion. You brief one studio and hold one team accountable for the finished room, not a chain of subcontractors passing work between them.
Our approach
AD Studio 9 designs interiors as biophilic by default. Natural light, cross-ventilation, plants, and honest materials are built into the plan from the start, not added as decoration. The result is a Bengaluru home that feels calm and connected to nature, and stays comfortable without leaning on the air conditioner.
Most interior firms treat greenery as a finishing touch. We treat it as structure. A wall that holds plants, a room oriented to the morning light, an opening placed to pull a breeze through the house: these are design decisions made early, when they can still shape the space. That is what biophilic by default means, and it is the one move the volume players on this search do not make.
Climate
Climate-responsive interiors are designed around Bengaluru’s light and air before a single finish is chosen. AD Studio 9 orients rooms for daylight, plans openings for cross-ventilation, and selects materials that hold comfort passively. Akshara Vinyasa, our own studio, runs without air conditioning through peak Bengaluru summer, which proves the approach works here.
Buyers ask one honest question about nature-led interiors: it looks lovely, but will it work in our climate. It does, because the comfort is designed in, not switched on. Daylight reduces the need for artificial light, cross-ventilation moves warm air out, and dense, breathable materials buffer the heat of the day. The interior stays comfortable on its own merits, and the air conditioner becomes a backup rather than the main system.
Proof you can visit
Akshara Vinyasa is AD Studio 9’s own 2,500 sqft interior in RR Nagar, finished in 2024 and open to clients who want to see the work before they hire. Its Verdurium green wall, oak-shutter pantry, and curved-wood cabin show biophilic interiors in daily use, not in a brochure. It won FOAID 2025 Silver.

The fair question behind every shortlist is whether a firm is actually good or just has a nice website. We answer it with an address. Akshara Vinyasa is a working AD Studio 9 interior you can walk through, where the Verdurium living wall, the green-marble pantry, and the Kota-stone balcony are doing their job, not posing for a photograph. The recognition is independent, and the awards are attributed to their issuers:
You can visit Akshara Vinyasa, our RR Nagar studio, and see a biophilic interior standing and in use before you commit to one of your own.
Materials
AD Studio 9 builds interiors from honest, tactile materials: reclaimed wood, Kota stone, green marble, oil-finished oak shutters, terracotta, and exposed brick. These are chosen for how they age, feel, and perform in Bengaluru’s climate, not for shine. Each material does real work, cooling, texturing, or grounding the space it sits in.
Renewable timber that ages well and warms a room.
Dense, cool-underfoot local stone.
Grounding, hard-wearing pantry and counter surfaces.
Oil-finished oak, detailed to last.
Breathable, cooling clay, inside and out.
An honest masonry shell, kept raw.
Material choice is where an interior either lasts or dates. We favour finishes that improve with use and suit the city’s weather, and we are happy to explain why each one is there. Read more on the terracotta we build with and on reclaimed wood, two of the materials you will see throughout our own studio.
Residential
Residential interiors are the core of the practice. AD Studio 9 designs homes across Bengaluru, from apartments to villas, as biophilic, climate-responsive spaces under one accountable team. Astitva Asare, a Bengaluru residence featured by Architectural Digest India in 2025, shows the residential work at full scale.
A home interior carries a different brief from a workspace. It has to hold a family’s routine and still feel calm at the end of a long day. Astitva Asare, which Architectural Digest India describes as a home that learns to breathe without letting go of its past, is the kind of residential interior we design: layered, lived-in, and connected to light and air. The same studio handles the layout, the materials, and the built detail from start to finish.
Cost
Interior design cost depends on three things: the scope of work, the materials you choose, and your home’s existing conditions. AD Studio 9 quotes On Consultation rather than a per-square-foot rate or a fixed package, because an honest number needs those details. The first consultation at our RR Nagar studio is free.
Many buyers quietly wonder whether all the nature-led design will cost a fortune. It will not, by default. A biophilic interior costs what its scope and materials cost, the same as any considered interior; the greenery and the natural light are design decisions, not a premium line item. Three factors set your number:
How much we design and build, from a single space to a full home.
The finishes you choose; material moves cost more than floor area.
Your home's current condition and the work it actually needs.
We give you a real figure once we understand those three, at the free consultation, with no obligation to proceed. Book a consultation and we will walk you through what your interior involves and what it costs.
