At Cartwheel, innovation is not only about new forms or technologies –it is about reimagining tradition and placing craftsmanship at the heart of modern design.

Our Process

Understanding

We begin by understanding the client’s needs, lifestyle, and aspirations. Every project starts with a clear brief that serves as the foundation for the design process.

01

Interpretation

The brief is translated into ideas through concept sketches, spatial narratives, and material explorations, creating a cohesive design language that balances functionality, context, and aesthetics.

02

Build

The design is brought to life through careful coordination, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. We oversee the process diligently to ensure the final outcome remains true to the original vision.

03

Development

Ideas are refined into detailed design solutions through plans, elevations, technical details, and material palettes. Precision and clarity take shape at this stage, aesthetics.

04

For us, true innovation lies in marrying tradition with the contemporary to create spaces that are timeless, meaningful, and proudly local.

Projects

  • "One of the first things people notice when they walk into Kaylir Canteen is the atmosphere. Despite working with a simple property, we wanted the space to feel cosy, welcoming, functional, and full of character and Cartwheel Studio brought that vision to life. From sourcing materials and furniture to developing creative DIY solutions, the process was highly collaborative. What stood out most was how invested Kamakshi, Yaamini, and Swatthe were in the project, treating it with the same care and passion that we did. Their creativity, commitment, and professionalism helped us create a space that truly feels like home and continues to be loved by everyone who walks through the door."

    - Dhanya & Bhargav (Kaylir Canteen)

  • "Working with Yaamini and Cartwheel Studio has been a genuinely rewarding experience. Yaamini’s eye for aesthetics and context transformed our CMDA offices, libraries, and co-working hubs into warm, purposeful spaces that staff and visitors immediately connect with. What stands out is the thoughtful, grounded design meticulous planning, smart detailing, and a strong focus on usability create environments that are both beautiful and practical. Throughout the process, the team was collaborative, responsive, and easy to work with. The result is a collection of uplifting spaces that continue to enhance everyday life for everyone who uses them."

    - Anshul Mishra IAS, Former MS of CMDA (CMDA Office Renovation)

  • "When we first walked into our new home, we both felt it - a quiet, warm welcome that felt like coming back to ourselves. The team didn’t just design a house; they gently stitched our past into our present. The restored carved panels and traditional door frames are the heart of the living room. Clever storage and thoughtful layouts have made our space clutter-free, which was exactly what we wanted. The public areas feel a little luxe for special moments, while the rest of the home is durable and family-friendly everything feels considered, not precious. Most of all, this house tells our story. It honors where we come from and makes room for who we are becoming."

    - Lakshman & Srilekha (Heritage Reimagined)

  • "Cartwheel has been our go-to destination for architectural design and construction projects for many years. They designed and curated my lovely bridal boutique, bringing our vision to life with creativity and attention to detail. We also created a beautiful lounge space that was designed, built, and handed over by Cartwheel. We love their ideas, their visual sensibility, and the quality of the final outcome. Working with the team has always been a positive experience, and we’re delighted with the spaces they have helped create."

    - Nikita & Shirley (Menorah Bridal Boutique)

  • "We got our first dream home designed and completed by Team Cartwheel. It was an exciting journey with its share of ups and downs, all of which were handled professionally by the team. The end result "our home" has a real oomph factor! We’re absolutely delighted with how everything came together. A big thank you to the entire team for bringing our vision to life. Wishing you all continued success in the years ahead!"

    - Abhinaya & Mohan (AM Residence)

  • "Hiring Cartwheel Studios was a game changer during our home renovation, which, until that point, was simply too stressful to bear. Kamakshi and Shazia from Cartwheel Studios were both absolutely dependable, great listeners, superbly creative, and highly responsive, making our renovation experience genuinely enjoyable. Their ability to coordinate and organize the work of the execution team helped alleviate so much of the stress. My home still looks, feels, and functions just as amazingly well as it did on Day 1—three years ago! Now THAT is the perfect testament to Cartwheel Studios’ thoughtful and functional design. They gave us a home that continues to inspire and comfort us every single day!"

    - Sruti & Avinash (Monochrome house, Bangalore)

  • "We accidentally stumbled upon Cartwheel through a friend, and having already seen their work in person, it was a no-brainer to go with them. The project took exactly the amount of time they promised three months and they were endlessly patient, enthusiastic, and encouraging with every idea we had. Their team of craftspeople were incredibly talented, self-motivated, deeply cared about quality, and took pride in their work. The folks at Cartwheel were helpful every step of the way, from choosing fabrics, textures, and materials to helping us create a cohesive home. Even after the handover, they continued helping us select furniture and artwork so everything came together beautifully. Overall, we’re incredibly thankful to have found Cartwheel. We’d build a hundred more houses, each with only them."
