Our practice
We design homes and workplaces that need very little energy and very little upkeep, and give a lot. Build less. Live more.
Four principles behind every design
Sun and air first
We begin with the sun, the wind and the climate. A well-designed house is cooled by its design before any machine is needed.
Build less
We help you separate what you need from what is only desirable, and often wasteful. Less to build, less to run, less to regret.
Details are the design
Like a good watch, every part has a purpose and everything fits together. Nothing is there only for show.
Built right
We design and build, so one team is on site, week after week, checking every detail, until what is built is right.

Who we work best with
Homeowners who want a crafted home
Senior professionals, often well travelled or living abroad, who want a home built with care, with one team and one point of contact, and are open to a different way of living.
50+ homes designed and built for families living abroad. Practising since 2004.
Founders building the future
Aerospace and deep-tech teams who need buildings that work as precisely as their hardware. We design and build, so one team is accountable for every detail.
Designing for aerospace and deep-tech teams since 2014.
We take on a small number of projects each year, so each gets our full attention. We aim to give the highest value for the fee you pay. If that is what you are looking for, we would like to hear from you.
What clients say
“We used D+R Design for conceptualizing, designing and building our home and we are quite happy that it turned out to be a wise decision. Their professional approach to the whole process made the journey smooth and enjoyable for us. Deepak and Rashmi were able to deliver what we wanted.”
Joojur Ramakrishnan
“They spent several hours understanding our requirements, transformed that into drawings and continued to oversee the execution. They have a keen eye to detail, quality focussed and above all continue to monitor the costs and schedules very closely.”
