Hyderabad builds big. Villas and duplexes here often have the floor area to be generous, and the risk is filling that generosity rather than composing it.
Independent villas and duplexes, apartments in the western corridor, workspaces, and hospitality and retail fit-outs.
The Deccan gives excellent granite and it is genuinely local rather than imported, which changes both the economics and the honesty of using it. The climate is hot and dry for much of the year, so shading, deep reveals and breathable finishes carry the comfort. Large volumes need acoustic attention — soft materials, planting and considered ceilings — or they read as echoing rather than calm.
Bigger houses tempt bigger everything. We hold the line on restraint: fewer materials used well, and space divided so each part earns its purpose rather than being left over.
Drawing and coordination at NYKS is moving onto BIM. The project is modelled in three dimensions and resolved before it is built — joinery against services, structure against finishes — with quantities taken from the model rather than estimated. On a turnkey job in Hyderabad that is what keeps the site free of expensive surprises.
NYKS is a turnkey studio: the same people who draw the room are accountable for the room that gets built — design, artisan commissioning, procurement, site execution and handover. We do not take styling-only engagements. More about the studio and how it works is on the about page.
Where a project needs them, we bring in specialists by niche — a landscape designer when the garden is part of the architecture, a lighting designer when the room depends on how it is lit, MEP consultants so services are engineered rather than accommodated, and IT and AV consultants where the space has to be genuinely intelligent. Their work is coordinated in BIM against ours, so everything agrees on the drawing before it has to agree on site.
Yes. The studio models and coordinates a project in three dimensions before it is built, so services, joinery and finishes agree, quantities come off the model, and changes propagate rather than being missed.
Yes. The discipline in a large house is restraint — fewer materials used well, and every division of space serving a purpose.
Where it suits the room. Deccan granite is genuinely local here, which makes it both economical and honest to specify.
Acoustics planned rather than patched — soft materials, planting, considered ceilings — and a plan that gives large spaces a reason to be large.
Yes, design through procurement, trades and handover.
