Driven by the intent to conceive neoteric environments, create affective spaces, and staging lifestyles, architecture at the Cadence Studio strives to spawn varied emotional responses and stage myriad lifestyles. Attempting to find beauty in the unfamiliar and achieving an affect of sensuality in design, the studio’s work sensitively explores issues of regional culture, lifestyle and sentiments to address how people emotionally respond to architecture.

Founded in 2005, as a collaborative practice by the three principal architects, Smaran Mallesh, Vikram Rajshekar and Narendra Pirgal, the Cadence studio comprises of a young, individualistic team of young architects, all of who are interested in architecture within a larger academic context. Challenging critical issues, and fostered through discussions and deliberations, the Studio endeavors to speculate the creative thinking process, while engaging in conversation with global architecture. 

Over the years, this design philosophy combined with an efficient management system and pragmatic approach, has enabled the team to handle projects of varying scales, complexities and diverse typologies ranging from houses, multi-family residential communities, institutes, hospitality, well-being and healthcare spaces etc. The award-winning studio’s work gets recognized frequently in both renowned national and international publications, and the principals engage in design dialogues globally and locally to empower the studio’s vision of Projective Practice.
