Spaces that
could only
belong here
ST-EM is a collaborative, multi-disciplinary studio for architecture, interiors and planning, based in Mumbai since 2017.
We read every site first: the sun, the breeze, the view. Then we design homes, buildings and furniture around it. We believe the work should always be…
The studio
Nothing good is built alone. Design is a partnership, and the best spaces come from listening closely to the people who will live and work in them.
Founder & Principal Architect
Ved Panchwagh
Ved trained at Sir J.J. College of Architecture and worked with HCP Design, Ranjit Sinh Associates, S+PS Architects and Bentel Associates before founding ST-EM with partner Lata Panchwagh.
Today the studio handles a pan-India portfolio of mixed-use developments, commercial spaces, residences, hospitality and private houses, with a vocabulary that runs from Japandi calm to heritage-sensitive and contemporary Indian. Ved leads every project personally, from the first site visit to the final styling.
Houses, townships and mixed-use buildings, from concept to working drawings.
Complete homes and workplaces, from layout to loose furniture and styling.
Site planning, amenities and landscape for residential and commercial developments.
Bespoke furniture for most projects, and photoreal views before anything is built.
How we work
Brief & site
A conversation about how you live or work, then a visit to measure and read the site.
Concept
Layout options, a material palette and references, so we agree on direction early.
Design development
3D views of every key space, custom furniture and finish selections.
Drawings & specs
A complete set of working drawings your contractor can build from.
Site coordination
Regular site visits and vendor coordination until the space matches the design.
