How RENESĀ Mixes Old With Contemporary Design Ideas
Some design studios chase trends. Others try to preserve the past. RENESĀ Architecture Studio was built on a different idea altogether, that old and new design don’t have to compete, they can exist in constant, deliberate conversation with one another.
A Perpetual Practice
Sanjay and Sanchit Arora founded RENESĀ Architecture Studio with a philosophy that sits at the core of every project: a perpetual practice for old and new design. Rather than choosing between tradition and innovation, their work lives in the space between the two, honoring established design principles while pushing toward something distinctly contemporary.
This approach shapes everything RENESĀ creates, from intimate residential interiors to expansive hospitality spaces, each project treated as an ongoing dialogue rather than a fixed destination.
A Father-Son Vision
Together, Sanjay and Sanchit bring a unique blend of experience and fresh perspective to RENESĀ, shaping spaces across hospitality, residential, and commercial design. Their collaboration reflects a studio built on continuity, where decades of design intuition meet a younger, research-driven sensibility.
That combination has allowed RENESĀ to take on an unusually wide range of work, restaurants, bars, hotels, and private homes, each carrying the studio’s signature instinct for materiality, texture, and considered detail, while still feeling distinct from one another.
Expanding Into Homes
Beyond architecture and interiors, the duo introduced RENESĀ Homes, a residential initiative described as a new grammar of homecoming. The venture extends their design philosophy into the spaces people will eventually call their own, built around light, material, and a close relationship with nature.
Early visuals from RENESĀ Homes reveal a language of composed volumes, considered openings, and architecture that seems to settle into its landscape rather than impose on it, a natural extension of the studio’s broader belief that good design should feel inevitable, not forced.
Designing In Dialogue
What sets Sanjay and Sanchit Arora’s work apart isn’t a singular style, but a mindset: design as an ongoing conversation between eras, materials, and ideas. Through RENESĀ, and now RENESĀ Homes, they continue to build spaces that don’t simply follow trends or chase nostalgia, but sit comfortably at the intersection of both, proving that the most lasting design often comes from embracing contradiction rather than resolving it.
