Spaces as unique as the people they shelter — rooted in site, shaped by story.
Studio Virya is a Bengaluru-based architecture practice founded by Sneha Reddy. Every project begins with listening — to the client, the site, the wider cultural context, and the purpose of the place. From there, we shape spaces with a fierce attention to materiality, sustainability and long-term livability.
We pair architectural design with a deep understanding of real estate development — how a building is financed, constructed, used and perceived in the market. For us, beauty and buildability are non-negotiable partners.
The Name
Virya
Strength. Courage. Creative energy. The qualities that shape our approach to every site, every brief, every last finish.
“Every project is a bespoke narrative — of its users, its site, and its purpose.”
Not a label. An embedded principle.
Sustainability is woven into the studio’s philosophy — locally sourced, tactile materials that age gracefully and reduce environmental impact, paired with passive strategies that let each building breathe with its place.
Rammed Earth
Load-bearing beauty drawn from the site itself.
Reclaimed Timber
Old wood, new life — warmth with a memory.
Passive Ventilation
Buildings that breathe with their climate.
Locally Sourced
Tactile materials that age well and travel less.
