Architecture Studio — Bhubaneswar, Odisha
Architectural Design
in Bhubaneswar
Residences that are as rigorously engineered as they are beautiful. Clay & Bricks brings a decade and a half of architectural practice in Odisha — designing villas, duplexes, and commercial buildings that respond to the local climate, honour the Odishan material vernacular, and are built to stand for generations.
Architecture Rooted in Place, Built for Permanence
A great house begins before a single brick is laid. It begins with understanding the site — its orientation to the sun, prevailing wind direction, the quality of soil beneath, the neighbourhood character, and the specific dreams of those who will call it home.
Clay & Bricks is a registered architectural practice in Bhubaneswar with licensed architects under the Council of Architecture (CoA). Our portfolio ranges from intimate 1,800 sq ft urban homes to sprawling 12,000 sq ft villa estates and boutique commercial projects across Odisha.
We prepare all architectural drawings required for BDA (Bhubaneswar Development Authority) sanction — including site plan, floor plan, elevation, section, and structural stability certificate. Our knowledge of BDA building bylaws, FAR regulations, and setback requirements means your project moves through approvals without delays.
Our architectural design is inseparable from material culture. We incorporate laterite stone, sandstone, Kota, and locally-sourced timber in contemporary elevations that are unmistakably Odishan without being derivative. The result is architecture that belongs to its place.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an architect charge in Bhubaneswar?+
Architectural fees in Bhubaneswar typically range from 5% to 10% of the total construction cost, or can be charged as a fixed fee per sq ft (₹50–₹150/sq ft) depending on the scope. Fees cover concept design, development drawings, BDA submission drawings, and construction documentation. Clay & Bricks offers integrated architecture and interior design under a single studio — often more cost-effective than engaging separate consultants.
How long does BDA approval take in Bhubaneswar?+
BDA architectural sanction typically takes 60–120 days from drawing submission. The timeline depends on plot size, FAR compliance, completeness of the submission package, and current BDA processing load. Our team prepares error-free packages to minimize re-submission delays. We also facilitate BDA liaisoning on your behalf.
Do you design duplex and villa homes in Bhubaneswar?+
Yes. Duplex residences, independent villas, and multi-generational family homes are our primary residential architecture typology. We have completed villa projects ranging from 2,400 sq ft to 12,000+ sq ft across Shree Vihar, Patia, Nayapalli, and Chandaka in Bhubaneswar, and in Cuttack and the Puri coastal corridor.
Can you design a house that is both modern and Vastu-compliant?+
Absolutely. Modern architecture and Vastu compliance are not contradictory. We integrate Vastu principles — room orientation, door placement, kitchen and pooja room positioning, and natural light planning — from the earliest design stage. The result is a home that is spatially efficient, aesthetically contemporary, and harmoniously aligned with traditional Indian spatial principles.
