What we stand for
Design that puts people first.
Our vision is simple: thoughtful spaces, honest decisions and a close connection between an idea and the way it is brought to life. We balance feeling with function, and material exploration with the realities of everyday use.
Our approachSelected work
A few places that tell our story.
From a haveli in Haridwar to a Delhi home and a neighbourhood café, each project finds its own expression.
Our story
A friendship at the heart of the practice.
SpaceMonks began with Aastha Batra and Swati Agarwal, two friends working together in a large architecture and design practice.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, they left the security of established roles to start their own practice. It was a leap into uncertainty, guided by the belief that there was value in doing things on their own terms and taking responsibility for the work.
