Co-Founders

In today’s world, as quality remains essential, there is a growing emphasis on aesthetics and sustainability. With advancing technology, demand is surging for smart homes with automation and networking. Meeting these needs requires a skilled team and a collaborative design approach, ensuring client expectations are met within budget without sacrificing quality. Saavi Design Studio has identified these industry shifts, establishing itself as a firm that combines industry expertise with a contemporary outlook, enabling both reliability and innovation in its work.

Crafting Noteworthy Legacy

Saavi Design Studio was established 22 years ago by the visionary duo Sapna Kabre and Veena Angadi. Today, the legacy endures with the second generation, led by Manali Kabre as Creative Director, alongside her husband, Manan Abhay Kumar, the firm’s technical expert. The founders remain actively involved in key decisions, ensuring the firm benefits from their expertise and avoid pitfalls through careful planning and execution.

Meanwhile, the new leadership brings contemporary practices and fresh ideas, creating a distinctive blend of tradition and innovation. From the very beginning, the studio’s vision has been to design spaces that reflect the personality of each client, rather than simply following fleeting trends. Its mission goes beyond creating interiors that are only aesthetic and functional. It seeks to build smart spaces that harmonize beauty, efficiency, and the overall well-being of the user.

For example, homes are designed not only to look good and serve practical needs but also to integrate smart solutions like automation, daylight optimization, and systems that enhance convenience and comfort in daily life. This vision and mission are rooted in core values that guide the studio’s design philosophy and execution.

“Every project is guided by the principle of balanced aesthetics, ensuring that the design reflects what the client truly desires, be it classic or modern, rather than being dictated by trends”, states Manali Kabre, Creative Director, Saavi Design Studio.

Well-being is another cornerstone, as the firm fosters emotional comfort and relaxation by often incorporating meditation zones, therapeutic art or uplifting color schemes. Affordability remains a key value as well, with the studio committed to delivering high-quality solutions within budget, ensuring that good design is accessible without compromise.

Over the years, Saavi Design Studio has reached significant milestones, completing more than 500–1000 projects. The studio maintains lasting relationships with clients, many of whom remain connected even 15 years after their dream spaces were delivered a testament to its dedication to trust and quality.

Distinctive Approach

The firm sets itself apart through two core aspects. First, it rejects template or purely modular designs, opting for highly personalized spaces crafted with meticulous attention to detail. This includes custom solutions tailored to elements such as wardrobe interiors, bed heights and specific user functionality. Second, Saavi Design Studio’s unique USP lies in its holistic offering of “smart living solutions” through five verticals: customized interior design, smart home automation, home lighting, networking and security. By combining these under one roof, the studio offers clients a comprehensive one-stop solution for all their residential design needs.

To ensure smooth execution, the firm follows a structured, collaborative process. Clients are provided with 2D drawings and 3D designs at every stage, keeping them fully informed. During execution, detailed discussions and formal sign-offs ensure that budgets and expectations are consistently reviewed. This eliminates last-minute surprises and maintains clarity, while also allowing the design team to work uninterrupted. Unlike many firms that inflate final quotations, the firm ensures transparency and consistency throughout the project.

Furthermore, the firm equips its team with advanced tools like AutoCAD and SketchUp to ensure precision in design and execution. Enscape further adds value by enabling VR walkthroughs, allowing clients to virtually experience spaces before they are built. This technology-driven approach not only enhances project execution but also creates a seamless and immersive experience for clients.

Fostering Sustainable Living

While Saavi Design Studio acknowledges that achieving 100 percent sustainability is challenging, it actively integrates eco-friendly practices wherever possible. Its approach includes the use of locally sourced materials suited to the local climate, thereby reducing transportation and energy costs. In renovation projects, the studio promotes up-cycling by re-polishing, re-painting or reusing existing furniture.

Energy-efficient lighting systems developed in-house help reduce power consumption, while smart home automation further minimizes electricity waste by scheduling appliances like geysers, air conditioners, and lights. The studio also prioritizes durable, eco-friendly materials such as solid wood while avoiding PVCs and plastics, offering sustainable yet cost-effective alternatives. This ensures that affordability and sustainability go hand in hand.

A Robust Future Roadmap

Looking ahead, the firm aims to establish its smart living concept across Karnataka, ensuring that every homeowner recognizes the value of its integrated, one-stop solutions. To achieve this, the studio is actively engaging in marketing and educating clients about the long-term benefits of smart living. Beyond Karnataka, the firm envisions expanding its footprint across India, with plans to enter cities such as Hyderabad, Chennai, and Pune. By combining its legacy of trust with innovative practices, Saavi is well-positioned to shape the future of smart and sustainable living.
