Hi!

I am Duhita, founder of

Studio Lilaya.

I’m a qualified Architect from India with a Masters in Landscape Architecture from the University of Edinburgh, and a Masters in Urban Planning and Design from Oxford Brookes University.

I have extensive experience in the architectural design space, working on communicating conceptual outlooks to client teams and planners for high-end, large scale projects as well as for intimate personal spaces.

I started Studio Lilaya as an art, illustration and concept studio, to convey the ethos and emotive qualities we aim to create as designers.

Our Ethos

prakriyā . iti . līlāya

The name of the studio comes from the Sanskrit word, Līlā (lee-la), which is the spontaneous creative expression of life itself. We take this ethos, engaging in a process of discovery, prakriyā (pra-kree-ya), to uncover the spirit of a place.

We translate this spirit in our work, through a playful and creative expression, līlāya (lee-laa-ya), celebrating the joys we experience in community and our natural environments.

How we can help

  • Concept studies

    Vignettes for early design stages to convey a design intent, idea, a process or even a timeline unfolding.

  • Sketch Masterplans

    Orthogonal perspective sketches of design schemes for your architectural masterplan.

  • Eye level Perspectives

    One-point or two-point perspectives capturing your design intent and giving an idea of materiality.

  • Oblique Perspective

    A two-point perspective sketch showing your scheme in the wider context and conveying the high level design intent.

  • Elevated Perspective

    A three-point perspective sketch where you don’t see the horizon line but shows the materials, textures and planting in greater detail.

Let’s work together
