A word from our founder

With over two decades of experience and a desire to innovate, I felt it was time to take the next step in my career. In April of 2023, I founded AARK Design Studio. This firm is my vision of a creative and efficient approach to design and construction. We are a team of 10 members, including 4 architects and 3 engineers, working on diverse projects such as villas, apartments, layouts, resorts, and schools. We are also involved in project management, with our recent venture being Euro School in Electronic City, Bangalore.

Starting Aark Design Studio has allowed me to continue my passion for design while bringing fresh, unique approaches to the industry. My journey so far has been a fulfilling blend of learning, growth, and creativity, and I look forward to many more such experiences in the future.

This version fully captures your contributions to the Concorde Manhattan project, your unique design elements, and your extensive role in managing various aspects of the projects.

Where Passion Met Purpose

Who I Am and Where I Come From

My name is Rohini S. Bagewadi, and I was born as Rohini C. Kurwatti in Hubli, Karnataka, to my parents Channabassappa, a tax consultant, and Susheela, a librarian. Both my parents, as working professionals, instilled in me the values of discipline, hard work, and commitment from an early age. My schooling at Sacred Heart Convent and my upbringing taught me the importance of being organized and diligent in all aspects of life.

How I became an Architect

My passion for architecture began during my time at PC Jabin College and later at BVB College of Engineering, where I pursued my degree in architecture. During this time, I married Sharad, an architect who had started his own firm, Shelterline. Working with him gave me early exposure to the architecture profession. I learned how to read and understand drawings, gaining insights into various design types. This experience proved invaluable in shaping my career.

My Early Career: Time at Vakil Housing

After my son Hastin was born, I sought more structured work hours, which led me to join Sunglory Estates (later Vakil Housing) in Bangalore. This phase marked a significant transition as I shifted from manual drafting to AutoCAD. At Vakil, I worked on layouts and villa projects, gaining experience and honing my skills in both traditional and modern design methods. My role here helped me embrace technology in design, which proved pivotal in the evolving industry.

20 years of Architectural Innovation

As Principal Architect at Concorde, I led a multidisciplinary team of architects and engineers, ensuring seamless coordination across departments like planning, estimation, billing, and customer service.

My primary task was to oversee a range of projects—from layouts and villas to commercial buildings and interiors—managing every stage from land feasibility assessments to final project execution. The challenge was to align diverse teams to deliver innovative, sustainable designs while meeting project deadlines and quality benchmarks.

To address this, I conducted comprehensive land feasibility studies, assessing each site's potential and profitability while ensuring compliance with local bylaws. I strategically evaluated options for land acquisition or joint development agreements, providing key inputs on area and unit sharing to optimize project outcomes.

My proactive market analysis and collaborative approach with the liaisoning team resulted in faster approval processes, enabling us to launch successful projects that set new standards in urban development.

Design Philosophy

My design philosophy centers on creating unique, functional spaces tailored to each project’s needs. A prime example is my work on Epitome, where I introduced double-height balconies with planting features, enhancing urban living with a refreshing green atmosphere. Additionally, I focus on developing versatile spaces, such as pooja rooms that can easily transition into study areas, providing flexibility for residents.

Signature Achievement: Concorde Manhattan

A signature achievement in my career is Concorde Manhattan, where I successfully delivered 976 apartments utilizing MIVAN Formwork in various configurations. The design included lung spaces for tree plantations, significantly enhancing green cover and oxygen levels within the community. Furthermore, I ensured that all units were Vastu compliant, promoting harmony and well-being for residents.
