Madras Hives

We are a young and passionate architectural design-build studio based in Chennai, India. Founded by a trio united by a love for design, placemaking and crafting soulful spaces, we go beyond aesthetics. We believe in reimagining the “how” of building, pushing boundaries to create meaningful experiences at every scale. Our projects span disciplines such as architecture, interior design, landscape and urban design. Rooted in our city, we champion bringing tactility back to design, prioritizing human-centric experiences that ignite curiosity, excitement and a deep connection to place. We design spaces that remind people why they love engaging with their built environment, one project at a time.
