Ar Khyati Kelkar

I'm a passionate and detail-oriented architect with over 4 years of professional experience in designing residential, institutional, and landscape projects. I believe in crafting spaces that are not only functional but also emotionally resonant—spaces that tell a story and connect with their users. With a hands-on approach and a strong foundation in research, conceptualization, and execution, I specialize in blending creativity with technical precision.

I thrive in collaborative environments and bring ideas to life through clear communication, thoughtful detailing, and sustainable design thinking.
