residential specific
questions

  • Yes. Studio Dashline designs villas and independent homes, with architecture and interiors shaped around the site, household and everyday routines. Loop House is one such example of an independent home design. Our approach to luxury centres on spatial generosity, privacy, material quality and carefully considered details.

  • Yes. We design apartment and duplex interiors around circulation, storage, shared spaces and individual needs. The Open Room in Bangalore demonstrates how a former communal floor of a duplex can become an independent home while retaining openness and continuity.

  • Yes. We design farmhouses, weekend homes and private retreats that connect indoor living with the landscape. Terra Casa in Gwalior brings together an outhouse, outdoor recreation and natural materials to create a setting for rest and family gatherings.

  • Yes. Our renovation work reconsiders how existing spaces can support new ways of living. Fluid Rhapsody in Bangalore combines a study with a courtyard gathering space, using retained elements and a revised spatial language to give the home a different rhythm.

  • Yes. Bespoke furniture and joinery are developed as part of the interior design scope. We consider how each element relates to the room, the way it is used and the broader material palette, with drawings to guide fabrication.

hospitality specific
questions

  • Yes. Calm Coffee in Jayanagar is one example of our café interior design work in Bangalore. Its entrance courtyard, angular counter, seating and restrained lighting work together to create a distinct experience of arrival, pause and gathering.

  • Yes. Our hospitality portfolio includes restaurants, cafés and bars across different cities, including Camo Modern Cookhouse in Noida and Notorious in Jalandhar. Each project develops its own spatial identity in response to the venue, its audience and the intended dining experience.

  • Yes. Boutique hospitality forms part of our practice, including resort design. Adron Resort in Dharamshala is one such example. We approach these projects through the relationship between context and guest experience, considering how architecture, interiors, landscape connections and shared spaces can create a coherent destination.

  • A hospitality brand can be expressed through the sequence of spaces, materials, light and the way guests move and gather. The story of the brand needs to be present in every design decision; materials, signage, way-findings, branding, menu, furniture, etc. We develop these elements around a central idea so the identity is experienced throughout the venue, from arrival to the smallest details.

commercial specific
questions

  • Yes. Studio Dashline designs retail interiors that connect a brand’s identity with product display and customer movement. Notebook at Dhan Mill in New Delhi uses a central gallery, layered views and considered lighting to turn browsing into a gradual sequence of discovery.

  • Yes. Our workplace portfolio includes Ironside in Bangalore, where collaborative workstations, private cabins, meeting spaces and a terrace café support different working rhythms. The interior draws on the client’s connection to metal through its structure, materials and custom details.

  • Yes. Our commercial work includes shopping complexes and office buildings. The Courtyard Walk, AWC, Noida and The Open Quarter are examples of the same. We consider the relationship between the building, its street frontage, access, circulation and individual tenancies, developing architecture that supports both the overall identity and the spaces within it.
