Sunayana graduated with an MSc in Architecture from the Accademia di Architettura, in Mendrisio, Switzerland. She has previously worked in prominent architectural offices across various cities in India and Europe. The influence of her mentors on her design thinking cannot be overstated. With origins between the distinct cultural landscapes of Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu, she has a deep understanding and appreciation of where she comes from. This prompted her to move back to India and set up an eponymous architectural practice based in Bangalore and Chennai.

The practice has cultivated a fundamental philosophy that creates an architecture of value - spaces that are built with the intelligence of the environment, culture, craft and material around it. This is spatially weaved through powerful emotional journeys that realise the entire human experience. Every design is guided by an idea, a desire, which manifests to create a space which is non-referential and meaningful in itself. Such architecture is above all, timeless and worth preserving - sustainability in its truest sense. Spaces become containers of time that facilitate the celebration of life’s simple moments - a cool breeze on a hot summer’s day, a shared meal under the shade of a tree, or an idyllic night’s sleep under the stars.

All projects are fluid and interdisciplinary in nature. The work explores various facets of architecture and extend outside its realm to - cultural storytelling, curation, objects, writing, publications and curious interviews. All endeavours are connected and driven by an underlying pursuit of beauty.
