Prangana designs modern spaces with the memory of Indian architecture.
Spaces where stories gather
The Studio
In old Indian homes, the courtyard was not an empty space. It was the heart of movement, light, family, and memory. At prāngaṇa, we use that same thinking to design modern spaces — homes, cafes, restaurants, hospitality environments — that feel gathered, grounded, and alive. We design from the story outward. Facade first, threshold first, experience first.

A Warm Modern Home
Residential interiorsSoft neutral colours, warm lighting and layered furnishings shape a private home with connected living spaces and a quieter bedroom.
View projectHospitality
Cafes, restaurants, bars, and boutique stays designed as complete experiences. We begin with the food, the facade, and the first five seconds of entry — then build seating, light, material, and movement around a single, memorable story.
Commercial
Workspaces and commercial interiors designed to carry identity. We reject the sterile corporate template. Every space must have a threshold, a rhythm, and a reason to be remembered.
Residential
Homes designed around how families actually live — with care for the entry, the shared gathering zone, the quiet corner, the puja space, and the material that will age with the family. Rooted, calm, and deeply personal.
Rohit Pasalkar, Founder
prāngaṇa is led by Rohit Pasalkar, an interior designer who works at the intersection of Indian architectural heritage, hospitality experience, and spatial storytelling. His work draws from courtyards, stepwells, mandapas, thresholds, and the deep spatial intelligence of old Indian building traditions — reinterpreted for modern homes, cafes, restaurants, and commercial interiors. Design begins before decoration. It begins with story, purpose, movement, and memory.
