Design is not decoration.
It is the architecture of how we live.

Prana Nilaya — the dwelling in which all life resides. Every project we take on is an act of giving life to a space. We are here to do exactly that.

प्राण · Prano.

From the Sanskrit Vishnu Sahasranama · meaning: life, the vital force, breath itself.
Our Philosophy

A limited practice.
An unlimited standard.

Studio Prano creates upscale, premium environments that reflect considered taste and a refined way of living. We accept only a limited number of projects each year. Not as a constraint, but as a commitment. To quality, to presence, to the kind of attention that cannot be divided across too many rooms at once.

Every project is delivered on a turnkey basis using the finest German and Italian components, materials, and accessories. The site is handed over in ready-to-occupy condition. No loose ends. No excuses.

Founder

Shreekara Kulkarni

Avant-garde. Reason over aesthetic rhythm.

Born and raised in Bengaluru, Shreekara is an absolute dissector of geometry. He takes a keen interest in analysing shapes and the flexibility of arranging them to achieve something that truly comes alive. A dissector first, a designer second. Innovation and initiation are the two things he does instinctively.

Our Practice

What we design

All Services
01 Interior Design

Interior Design

Fully bespoke design for residential and commercial spaces. We start with the brief and end with a space that feels entirely inevitable. As though it could only have been this way.

02 Lighting Design

Lighting Design

Light shapes how a space feels long before the eye lands on a single object. We integrate natural and artificial light from the first sketch. Not as an afterthought, but as a foundational decision.

03 Furniture Design

Furniture & Millwork

We source, specify, and when necessary design furniture from scratch. If the right piece does not exist, we make it, crafted to fit the space, the context, and the life lived within it.

Our Approach

Why Prano

Bold & Conceptual

Every project starts with a strong idea. We commit to a point of view and develop it with rigour.

End-to-End Ownership

From first sketch to final handover. One conversation with you. We handle every other one.

Obsessive Detail

The difference between good and great is almost always invisible: a proportion, a joint, a transition.

Cross-Continental Fluency

Indian craft intelligence meets European spatial economy. Work that feels at home anywhere.

Uncompromising Quality

Quality is a decision made at every stage: brief, design, specification, execution.

Truly Personal

You work directly with the studio. Not handed off after the first meeting. Full attention, always.

The Process
01
Brief

Vision, lifestyle, goals.

02
Concept

A distinct spatial idea on paper.

03
Design Development

Drawings, 3D views, materials, light.

04
Specification

Every product and finish documented.

05
Site Coordination

On-site oversight, design intent upheld.

06
Handover

Your space. Complete. Ready to live in.

Studio Focus

Where we spend
our attention.

Every project type demands a distinct language. We have built deep fluency across residential, commercial and hospitality work — each informing the others.
