The Studio

Who We Are

Design Square is an interior design studio based in Mangalore, Karnataka.

Led by founders Niveditha Shenoy and Gayathri Shetty, the studio designs and executes complete interiors — homes, resorts, restaurants and clinics — across coastal Karnataka and the Western Ghats.

Our work leans quiet: warm neutrals, honest wood, considered lighting and detailing that serves daily life. We stay involved from the first sketch to site execution and handover, so what is drawn is what is built.

How We Work

From conversation to handover

Listen

We start with your life

Before any drawing, we understand how you live, gather, cook, work and rest — and what the space must do for you.

Design

We design every detail

Layouts, materials, lighting, joinery and finishes — resolved together as one calm, coherent whole, not decided ad hoc on site.

Execute

We stay till it's built

We work closely with trusted execution teams on site, so the finished space matches the design — down to the last handle.
