Aaradhana Aiyappa is the Founder and Principal Designer of

Ateliér ASRAYA,

A practice defined by its quiet sophistication and conceptual clarity. With a foundation in architecture and a deep appreciation for narrative design, she distills complex ideas into minimal, memorable forms. Her work is guided by the belief that design should offer both shelter and identity — a philosophy embodied in her firm’s emblematic seashell logo, where geometry meets symbolism.

Committed to excellence in both built and visual storytelling, Aaradhana brings an artful precision to every detail — from spatial compositions to digital presence. Through her growing online platforms, she is shaping a new conversation around architecture, where thoughtful content meets aesthetic innovation.

Aaradhana Aiyappa is a licensed architect in India, with experience studying and working in different countries/cultures. She has worked internationally at the firms Ennead Architects (New York, New York), SGH (New York, New York), Edmund Ng Architects (Singapore), Khosla Associates (Bangalore, India).

Aaradhana received her B.Arch from RV College of Architecture and M.Arch Advanced Placement from TCAUP (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor). Her particular area of interest lies in finding a place for art/aesthetics in the built environment, in the advancement of building technology and computation tools in the professional field.

Outside the studio, Aaradhana finds balance in movement and experience — spending weekends on the golf course or pickleball court, dancing, traveling, and exploring fine dining with the same curiosity and precision she brings to her practice.
