Women-led. Globally minded.

A women-led studio of architects and designers, composing spaces with care, clarity and a global eye.

“Spaces are not designed. They are composed. I believe in balance: a dialogue between elements, people and the space they share.”

I started DesignHood to build spaces the way I was trained to think about cities: in layers. The plan, the material, the light, and finally the people who live and work there.

Our studio is young, curious and honest. We show you every drawing, every estimate and every step on site, because good design should never feel like a mystery.

What we stand for.

  1. 01

    Transparency

    Clear scope, itemised estimates and honest updates. You always know where your project stands.

  2. 02

    Thoughtfulness

    We listen before we draw. Every decision is made for the people who will use the space.

  3. 03

    Fresh thinking

    A young studio with modern ideas. Confident, never generic, never overdone.

  4. 04

    Global perspective

    International training and exposure, applied with care to every Kolkata site.

Space, material, light. Then people.

Every project is built up the same way, one considered layer at a time, until the room feels inevitable.
