About Ariul Sttudio

Ariul Sttudio is a multidisciplinary design practice based in Surat, India, working across architecture, interiors, landscape, urban design and research. Since 2015, the studio has focused on creating meaningful spaces that enrich human experiences through thoughtful design.

Our story

Ariul Sttudio began long before it had a name, an office, or even a team. It started as a quiet concept — a shared belief between two architects, Ar. Jayul Pahadiawalaa and Ar. Devika V. Deshmukh, that design has the power to uplift the way people live, feel, and connect with their spaces.

What began as countless conversations, sketches, and a hunger to explore the unknown, the idea materialised into a studio with a soul. Ariul Sttudio grew not from ambition alone, but from a genuine curiosity to push boundaries, ask better questions, and challenge what design could truly do.

Over time, this curiosity attracted the right kind of people — skilled professionals, yes, but more importantly, good humans who shared the same values. Together, we built a practice rooted in partnership, creativity, and trust. Every project became an opportunity to explore, to collaborate, and to craft something that resonates with both purpose and beauty.

At the core lies a simple but powerful vision: to uplift human lifestyles through thoughtful, transformative design.

From homes that nurture belonging, to workplaces that inspire growth, to experiences that connect people emotionally with their environments — Ariul Sttudio strives to create spaces that feel alive, meaningful, and deeply personal.

Today, it stands as a fully realised design entity with a global outlook. The aim is to expand across geographies, genres, and disciplines — always learning, always refining, always pushing the practice closer to perfection.

Ariul Sttudio is not just a firm. It is a journey — of ideas, of people, of passion. And it’s only just getting started.

02

Research

Climate, material, and user studies that inform a design before the first sketch is made.

03

Concept

A small number of real design directions, tested against the brief and the site.

04

Design Development

The chosen direction resolved in plan, section, material, and furniture.

05

Execution

Regular site visits and contractor coordination through construction.

06

Completion

A final walkthrough and snag list before the keys change hands.
