The Wife & Husband design studio at work

About the Studio

Two designers. One promise.

Wife & Husband began exactly as the name suggests — a married pair of designers who couldn't stop redesigning their own first flat, and never really stopped.

Ananya Rao, Principal Designer

Ananya Rao

Principal Designer · The Wife

NID-trained, detail-obsessed. Ananya leads concept, materials and styling — the eye behind every palette and proportion.

Vikram Rao, Projects and Build

Vikram Rao

Projects & Build · The Husband

Civil engineer turned builder of beautiful things. Vikram runs the factory, the site and the schedule — the reason handovers happen on time.

"We argue about every detail so our clients never have to. That's the marriage — and the method."

What started in a 2 BHK in Madhapur in 2014 is now a full design-and-build practice with its own modular factory, a tight in-house team, and over 250 homes delivered across Hyderabad and beyond.

What we refuse
to compromise on.

01

Honesty in material

Real teak where we say teak. Branded hardware, named in your quote. No silent substitutions, ever.

02

Design before decoration

Light, ventilation and storage are solved first. Beauty that doesn't work daily is just clutter in disguise.

03

Respect for tradition

Vastu-aligned planning, a place for the pooja, space for family — modern design that doesn't erase how we live.

04

The committed date

A handover date in the contract, tracked in weekly updates with photos. Delays are our problem, not yours.

05

After the handover

A 5-year written warranty on modular work and a team that still picks up the phone in year four.

Small by choice.
Senior by design.
