Meaningful spaces, shaped by their surroundings and the people who live in them.
Our studio / Since 2003
Sanctuary was founded in Bangalore in August 2003 by principal architect Anshul Chodha, with the primary offerings of architecture and spatial design services.
With sensitivity to surroundings, Sanctuary aims to create meaningful spaces that enhance productivity and increase efficiency. Since then, the studio has built a diverse clientele across India and abroad — restaurants, bars, cafés, spas, salons and offices, through to intimate and lavish homes.
Founded by Anshul Chodha, an alumnus of MIT Manipal, Sanctuary Architects & Designers has been involved in over a hundred projects across two decades — spanning hospitality, residential and commercial architecture and interior design.
The practice is committed to new design approaches and sustainable solutions: changing fixed mindsets around design, materials, construction, technologies and lifestyles — and making design more accessible to the common person.
Having returned from the US, we were looking for an architect to build our home. After meeting several architects and designers, we finally settled on Sanctuary Architects and Anshul Chodha. From the first meeting itself, Anshul was able to understand and sketch out our requirements. He was personable and easy to work with.
What followed was a fascinating journey and series of interactions with Anshul and his team, who gave us a home we love and enjoy. We would highly recommend Sanctuary for architecture and interior design.
Every great project begins with a conversation. Reach out to discuss your vision, and let us bring it to life with intention, elegance, and timeless design.
