Ekarth Studio

Ekarth Studio is an architecture and design-build practice in Malviya Nagar, New Delhi, founded in 2021 by architect Neha Usha Jain and structural engineer Piyush Sharma. The two met through a shared interest in bamboo, arriving independently at the Auroville Bamboo Center before turning those parallel explorations into one design philosophy.

Their first built work, The Firefly, a two-storey bamboo house in Assam, exposed how little reliable infrastructure existed for natural-material construction, and pushed the studio to become fully integrated, handling sourcing, treatment, fabrication and site work with its own artisans and engineers. Later work includes the Maestro Ilaiyaraaja Centre for Music at IIT Madras, where bamboo vaults shape the acoustics, and the Aranyani Pavilion, turning invasive Lantana into a structural lattice.
