About us

Architectural historian Richard Guy Wilson characterized the style Moderne by the eclectic co-existence of "traditionalism and modernism".

The studio is the conjunction for creative minds and skilled professionals.

We are a collaborative workspace where clients and creative minds come together to provide simple and practical solutions through our designs.

Our philosophy hinges with inventive thinking by creating contextually responsive, culturally rooted & resource efficient spaces.

MODERNE is an interactive design studio started by architect, Naveen Kumar, who has graduated from SRM University and worked under some of the greatest in the field.

From the Partner's

Over 3+ years of combined experience in architecture, interior design and consultation through social media and freelancing, alongside being a full time architect. My passion for architecture and design grew stronger, considering the response received from the audience, which led me take the leap of faith and open my first design studio along with my fellowmates. Moderne, Bengaluru.

Be it at college or at work, I believe in learning through practise. I strongly believe in the philosophy of ‘less is more’, but simultaneously ensures there is thought and reason behind any creative idea. I also developed knowledge in vastu - the Indian system of architecture and planning, and its importance in executing its principles of design, layout, measurements, spacial arrangement and geometry.

Starting as an artist sailing in the world of fantasies to graduating as an extensively trained Architect and now partnering with a firm, it has been a huge leap of perceptions and perspectives for me.

Growing up in Chennai and working at Bluecube Architects, has influenced the way I perceive architecture. The way a design influences and shapes one’s behaviour, be it routine, habit, or mood never ceases to amaze me.I have always had a special interest in Interior Design. I would get excited about lighting, shadows, texture, colours, and everything that has to do with the aesthetics of a space. I firmly believe that these are elements that liven up any design and bring character to a space.
