K2India is a New Delhi based multi–disciplinary design and architectural firm constituted in 2010, by Sunita Kohli (Padma Shri, 1992) and Ar. Kohelika Kohli, a Pratt Institute of Design graduate from New York, USA. It was established as their brand, to bring under one umbrella all the design disciplines practiced by their various companies: ‘Kohelika Kohli Architects’ (est. 2004), the Architecture and Project Management cell of the company, known for its creative and contemporary buildings; ‘Sunita Kohli Interior Designs Pvt. Ltd.’ (est. 1972), the Interior Design cell of the company, research-based and concerned and sensitive to the physical context of public and residential projects and their cultural milieu; ‘Sunita Kohli & Co.’ (est. 1971), the Furniture Manufacturing cell of the company, whose range extended from the classical to mid-century furniture. From July 2021, Nidhi Choudhari is a partner and heads KoKo by K2India, the furniture division of the company which specialises in a vast range of customised furniture, extending from classical inspirations to cutting-edge contemporary pieces.
K2India is driven by the pursuit of excellence and quality. They strongly believe that one’s surroundings directly influence the quality of one’s lives - whether in the workplace, at home or the public spaces in between. Their approach is rooted in a firm belief that design is fundamental to improving the quality of life, and with an integrated and unified approach, it can become a totally functional and living WORK OF ART. It is their endeavour to provide their clients with the most cutting-edge designs and cost-effective solutions of form and functionality. Internationally today, all major projects are driven by interior architecture and design, to their final architectural forms. These practices are the strengths of K2India.
The company has been working on numerous turn-key projects. K2India has set up a highly qualified team that can undertake the design and execution of architectural, structural, MEP services, landscape, interior architectural and interior design projects, together with the manufacture of their own refined and customized furniture, both fixed and individual items.
They have successfully completed projects in several countries such as in Egypt, England, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and the USA. The company specializes in the design of private residences, apartments, corporate offices, restaurants, gyms, hotels and resorts, luxury hotel boats and aircrafts; and the restoration of public buildings, and forts such as the Oberoi’s Naila Fort outside Jaipur, palaces and heritage properties.
Some of their highly celebrated projects in New Delhi have been the restoration of many British period buildings – designed by Sir Edward Lutyens, Sir Herbert Baker and Sir Robert Tor Russell – notably Rashtrapati Bhawan, the Prime Minister’s Office and Official Residence, Hyderabad House, the bungalows of the Indira Gandhi Memorial Museum and the British Council Building and Library. They continue to creatively and successfully work on projects all around India and on a few outside the country.
In 2014, K2India received the first ‘Architectural Digest 50’ Award, and to date has since been honoured every year with the ‘AD100 Award’. They are also the recipients of several other awards and many of their projects have been widely published in prestigious design magazines. In 2022, they received the ‘Top 50 Design Practices in India’ Award given by India Design’s ‘ID Honours 2022’; and ‘The Most Prestigious Architecture and Interior Design Firm in India’ Award by Global Business Reconnect.
