Residential architects in Bangalore, from plot to keys
Barebase is an architecture and design-build studio in Bengaluru for villas and independent homes. We design the house and its interiors together, take care of approvals, and build it with our own teams, so you hand over a plot and get back a finished home. Every house is designed around your family, your plot and your budget.
How much does it cost to design and build a house? It is customised to you.
There is no package or rate card at Barebase. We customise every space to the needs of the people who live or work in it, so your cost comes from your home, not a price list.

Why design the architecture and interiors together?
Because the best interiors start in the plan. Window positions, ceiling heights, where the stairs land, where the pooja room gets morning light, where the AC and plumbing run: all of it is decided by the architecture. Designing both together avoids breaking walls later and gives a house that feels whole.
What does an architect in Bangalore do for a new house?
- Site study, soil test coordination and a written brief
- Concept design, plans and 3D views, designed to Vastu if you wish
- Structural and services design with our engineers
- Drawings for BBMP or BDA approval
- Construction by our own teams, with one project manager
- Interiors, landscape and handover
Which materials suit Bengaluru’s climate?
We often use exposed brick, compressed mud blocks, lime plaster and deep overhangs to keep homes cool, as at the Kempapura mud-block residence.

Architecture and design-build: questions homeowners ask
We prepare and submit the drawings for approval and coordinate with the authorities on your behalf.
Yes. We have designed multi-family homes with separate floors and entrances, such as Anand’s Residence in Uttarahalli.
“[Their] ability to conceive a space keeping the end use in mind is commendable.”
