The studio · Est. 1985
SAA Design Studio, formerly known as Suresh Arora Associates, was founded by Ar. Suresh Arora in the 1980s. Over four decades, the practice has evolved across architecture, interiors, hospitality and commercial design, shaped by a deep understanding of form and function — and of how spaces influence the way we move, feel and experience them.
From strategic planning and spatial organisation to construction and execution, SAA brings a depth of experience that allows design, functionality and buildability to be considered as one.
At the heart of the practice is balance — between form and function, ambition and practicality, character and restraint. Each project is shaped by its context and purpose, with an emphasis on authenticity, thoughtful detailing and a sense of identity that feels inherent rather than imposed.
The work spans an extraordinary range — from reimagined private interiors and residences to hotels, restaurants, casinos, commercial buildings and large-scale townships.
Different in scale and purpose, each is approached with the same belief: that good design is as much about how a space works and feels as how it looks — and that the most enduring spaces are those where everything is in balance.
A small studio that builds at the speed of care.
We work slowly, on purpose.
We are deliberately small. There is no business-development team and no outsourced design. The people who meet you at the start are the people who see it through.

Suresh Arora
Founder & Principal Architect
1985 - Present
Ar. Suresh Arora founded Suresh Arora Associates in 1985, after studying architecture at Chandigarh College of Architecture. Over four decades, his work has been driven by a passion for architecture, a deep respect for function and an instinctive understanding of materials, construction and engineering.
Alongside architecture, he built successful ventures in furniture and construction, bringing a hands-on understanding of making, precision and execution to his practice. His ability to think analytically, calculate precisely and move comfortably into new sectors has continually expanded the possibilities of his work.
He approaches every project with the focus of a meditation — observing, questioning and refining until every detail feels resolved. An avid traveller and storyteller, Suresh draws inspiration from places, people and the many ways spaces are experienced.
For him, architecture is where function, precision and imagination find their balance.
