Renesa Architecture Inc.

What Renesa Architecture Inc. does

Renesa Architecture Inc. (doing business as Renesa Architecture Design Interiors Studio) is a privately held, founder-led architectural and interior design consultancy headquartered in New Delhi, India. Founded by Sanjay Arora in January 2006 after his tenure heading the architectural arm of Turner Morrison Ltd., the firm provides integrated architectural consultancy, interior design, landscape architecture, and planning services to commercial, institutional, hospitality, retail, and high-end residential clients. The studio is led today by Sanjay Arora (Founder and Principal Architect) and Sanchit Arora (Studio Head Architect), supported by a team of approximately 22 architects, interior designers, technical staff, and operations personnel, with offices in Vasant Vihar, Janakpuri, and Sheikh Sarai in New Delhi. Marquee clients have included ITC Hotels, Le Meridien, HT Burda, ABP Group, Times of India, Quick Brown Fox Coffee Roasters, and Instapizza, with a project portfolio spanning from 1995 to 2026.

The firm's working methodology is built around a self-defined "Transpositioning" process in which architects, interior architects, landscape architects, graphic designers, and other professionals exchange roles to break disciplinary conventions, supplemented by a "Design Evolution Process" that derives end-user needs from strategy. Renesa pairs this trans-disciplinary approach with what it characterizes as a combination of traditional handicraft and digital technology. Execution is supported by a partnership with Star Constructions (Mr. Umesh Mehta) for on-time, on-budget project delivery and by industry partners in furniture manufacturing that pass buying leverage through to clients; specialty collaborations include DBEL Studio (lighting design) and Tintech LED Lights.

Commercially, Renesa operates as a B2B professional-services firm on project-based fees determined through direct consultation, with new business driven primarily by earned media (ArchDaily, Designboom, Domus, CNN Style, Architectural Digest, Houzz) and a studio portfolio site, and by direct engagement with enterprise clients and high-net-worth individuals in India. The firm is founder-owned by the Arora family, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or external capital. International recognition, anchored by the viral Pink Zebra restaurant project (2017) and the award-winning D'Arclight project (Trends Excellence Awards 2017), has positioned Renesa as a boutique design studio with a profile disproportionately larger than its headcount.
