Envisage: The OGs of Cultural Home Design and the Architects of Heritage Revival

New Delhi  - Long before ‘cultural homes’ became a buzzword in contemporary design, Envisage was consistently shaping a movement rooted in craft, memory, and identity. At a time when the industry is only now beginning to rediscover the romance of roots, Envisage stands apart as the studio that did not follow the cultural home revival, they helped define it. As the firm moves forward with upcoming projects such as The Mann School faculty lounge and the Devgarhi project, it continues its trajectory of exploring new design typologies, while reaffirming that within the residential realm, cultural homes are not a style or aesthetic, they are a language the FIRM has been speaking since day one.

Founded by architects Meena Murthy Kakkar and Vishal Kakkar, Envisage emerged at a unique intersection of design curiosity and cultural sensitivity. Their work has always transcended trends, rejecting the surface level interpretations of tradition and instead engaging with the depth of Indian craft, the nuance of local materiality, and the embedded narratives people inherit through their homes. Every project becomes an act of preservation, reinterpretation, and storytelling, not as nostalgia, but as a living, breathing design vocabulary that evolves with the family it belongs to.

For Envisage, the idea of a cultural home has never been about adding motifs or curating objects. It is about creating spaces of belonging, ones that feel emotionally anchored in memory yet proudly contemporary. Their homes whisper stories through textures, celebrate legacy through handmade details, and honour lineage with quiet sophistication. Whether through murals inspired by folk art, arches that echo regional typologies, or earthy palettes that recall timeless craft traditions, Envisage builds spaces that feel familiar even when new, intimate even when expansive.

Envisage continues to champion Indias design heritage with a distinctly contemporary hand. Their work reminds us that culture is not something you add, it is something you build from. As the world rediscovers the value of authenticity, Envisage stands firmly at the forefront, the original custodians of cultural home design, crafting spaces that honour where we come from while shaping where we are going.
