Studio Apaaar

Studio Apaaar is a design-and-build architectural practice in Pune, India, founded in 2009 by principal architect Santosh Sadashiv Pisal together with Vikas Sadashiv Pisal, Kundan Namdeo Kshirsagar and Tejas Munot. The name means limitless, and the studio reads architecture as a medium for cultural narratives, memory and emotional experience rather than as a purely physical structure.

The practice became known internationally with the Museum of Humanity in Tulapur, near Pune: a raw-concrete sequence of ramps, courts and water made for a private collection and built around ideas of coexistence and spirituality, which won the Architecture Hunter Awards 2025. Work spans cultural, residential and institutional buildings, developed through models, material studies and a close reading of site, climate and local craft.
