Environ Design Studio is an interior architecture practice in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad. We design homes, offices and hospitality spaces — and we build what we design. The plan and the daylight come first. The finishes come after.
We start with the plan, not the finishes. Room sizes, how you move between rooms, where the light falls — that gets settled first. A good finish on a badly planned room is still a badly planned room.
The studio is in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad. One team handles your project from the first sketch to the day we hand over the keys. The office in the photos further down this page — Aarthi Infra Developers — is one of ours: designed, built and finished by us.
01Plan first. Layout, movement and daylight are settled before we pick a single material.
02Real materials. Timber, stone, cane and lime, used as they are. They wear well, and they can be repaired.
03One team, end to end. Design, drawings, site work and finishing under one roof. You deal with us throughout.
What We Do
Four offerings, one studio.
Four services, the same four printed on our business card. Most projects use two or three of them together.
01
Design + Build
Turnkey solutions. One contract, one team, from the first sketch to the day you get the keys. Design, civil work, joinery, electrical and plumbing coordination, and the final finishing — all ours, so nothing falls between two contractors.
Green rating. Daylight and ventilation are planned into the layout, not added later. We specify low-VOC paints and finishes and source materials responsibly. Mounika is an IGBC Accredited Professional, so the green rating documentation is done in-house.

03
Interior Architecture
Interior landscape. This is the architectural side of interiors: space planning, room volumes, staircases, courtyards and light. Plants are part of the plan — courtyards, green walls and terraces built into the space, not a pot added at the end.

Product Design
Life style accessory. When the right piece does not exist, we design it. Furniture, lights and accessories, made with local craftspeople and sized for the room they will live in.

Selected Work
Rooms we're proud of.
Our own project photos, the same ones on our Google listing. The cabin, meeting room, lounge and reception are the Aarthi Infra Developers office, which we designed and built. The rest are homes in Hyderabad. Tap a photo to read about it.
We are rated 5.0 out of 5 on Google, from 7 reviews — the map below is our listing. Ask us in a consultation and we will walk you through any of these projects in full.
Sustainable Approach
Green is a method, not a finish.
The green part of a project is decided on the drawing board: which way the rooms face, what they are made of, how they stay cool. It is not a finish applied at the end. Mounika is an IGBC Accredited Professional, and that training sits behind every project we take on.
a.Daylight & air first
Windows, courtyards and cross-ventilation are planned before the air-conditioning is sized. A room that stays comfortable with less cooling costs less to run, every month.
b.Honest, local materials
Timber, stone, cane, lime and clay from makers in the region, wherever we can. Shorter transport, finishes that can be repaired, and surfaces that age instead of peeling.
c.Healthier indoor air
Low-VOC paints, adhesives and finishes are our standard specification. The people who move in should not be breathing fresh paint and glue for months afterwards.
d.Landscape, indoors
Planted courtyards, green walls and terrace gardens are part of the design, not decoration added later. They cool the air, soften sound, and keep something green in view.
Planning a green-rated building? We handle the design and the IGBC rating documentation in-house, led by Mounika herself.
Design + build means one team stays responsible till the end. The people who draw your space are on site while it gets built.
1
Discover
We talk first, then study the site: how you live or work, where the light falls, what the structure allows. The brief, the budget and what is actually possible get agreed at this stage, in plain terms.
2
Design
Plans, 3D views and material samples you can actually touch. Layout and daylight are fixed first; finishes, furniture and planting come after.
3
Detail
Working drawings, joinery details, services coordination and a written cost sheet. Site work follows the drawings, not someone's memory.
4
Deliver
We build it, with our own site supervision and quality checks at each stage. Then a deep clean, final styling, and a walkthrough with you before the keys are handed over.
Mounika Devaki
Interior Architect · IGBC Accredited Professional
Founder and Principal Designer of Environ Design Studio. Every project begins and ends at her desk.
The Founder
Designed by an architect. Certified green.
This is a founder-led studio. Mounika Devaki trained as an interior architect and started Environ Design Studio in Hyderabad. Her rule is simple: plan a room like a building, finish it like a home.
She covers all four services herself — the architecture of the space, the planting inside it, the turnkey build, and the furniture and objects that finish it. Green building practice runs through all four. She is an IGBC Accredited Professional and a member of the Indian Green Building Council and the Institute of Indian Interior Designers.
In 6+ years, the studio has delivered 50+ projects — homes, workplaces and hospitality spaces. Mounika leads each one personally, from the first brief to handover.
