About the studio

About Boxco Builders

An architecture and interior design practice founded in Kerala. Today we work from two studios, one in the hills and one in Karnataka, on residential, hospitality and commercial projects across South India.

Why two cities

Kerala shaped
the practice.
Karnataka stretched it.

Kerala's mix of plantation estates, hill climate and a deeply skilled local workforce taught us how to build with stone, timber and tile, in a way that lasts through five-month monsoons.

Karnataka, working in apartments, gated villas and offices, forced us to learn space planning, modular joinery and turnkey execution at city speed. Many of our clients move between the two: a Karnataka family with a holiday plot in Kerala, an NRI couple building in Kerala while renting in Karnataka, a hospitality investor planning a homestay in Kerala from their home in Karnataka. A studio that already lives in both places saves them a great deal of friction.

How we run a practice

Small team.
Short project list.

Every project is led by a named architect or designer from the first meeting to handover. We do our own joinery and finishing through a long-standing roster of artisans, and we run our own site teams rather than sub-letting to general contractors.

The benefit to you is a single point of accountability, a single budget and a single timeline.

Our values
  • Buildings should belong to their place. A home in Kerala should look, feel and breathe like a Kerala home. A flat in Karnataka should make city life easier, not harder.
  • Detail decides quality. A skirting that lines up, a shutter that closes flush, a tap that does not drip. Quality is the sum of dozens of small decisions.
  • Honest budgets. We do not start a project we cannot finish at the price we quoted.
  • Long service life. We choose materials and finishes that look better in ten years, not worse.
