Cinnamon Design Studio

What Cinnamon Design Studio does

Cinnamon Design Studio is a private architectural and interior design practice based in Hyderabad, India, founded in 2018 by Divya Gulechha, who serves as Chief Architect. The studio delivers custom design services across corporate offices, residential interiors, retail spaces, healthcare/institutional facilities, hospitality, and branding engagements. Its portfolio includes projects such as corporate interiors for a timber products display office at Manjeera Mall in Kukatpally, a residence at Welkin Park Apartments in Begumpet, a 4,500 sq ft dental and medical care center in Al Bateem, Abu Dhabi, and branding work for Norfest. The firm does not adhere to a specific architectural style, instead emphasizing an 'unbinding creative approach' focused on lines and intelligent space transformation, with design sensibilities rooted in the harmony between built and natural environments and inspired by architects including Geoffrey Bawa, Laurie Baker, Charles Correa, Bjarke Ingels, and Frank Lloyd Wright.

The team consists of three architects: founder Divya Gulechha (Mies Foundation, Barcelona), Nidhi Reddy (SRM University, Chennai), and Suhasini Patel (from Aurangabad). Revenue is generated entirely through professional design fees on custom, project-based engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Client acquisition runs through direct inquiries via a website contact form, with no visible marketplace listings, partner channels, or self-serve motion. The website functions primarily as a portfolio showcase; Instagram is linked but currently non-functional. There are no disclosed funding rounds, institutional investors, parent companies, or external scaling indicators, and the firm appears to be bootstrapped and founder-owned.

Operating geographies are concentrated in Telangana, India (Hyderabad and surrounding areas including Begumpet and Kukatpally), with at least one project completed in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The studio holds no disclosed certifications, awards, patents, or formal partnerships. Revenue figures, customer counts, and pipeline metrics are not disclosed, and there is no evidence of AI/ML tooling, proprietary technology platforms, or productized offerings beyond human-delivered design services.
