Kunaal Kyhaan Seolekar studied architectural design at the Parsons School of Design and founded studioHAUS in 2012. Having spent formative years surrounded by nature in Kodaikanal, this influence runs deeply in Kunaal's architectural and design work. Inspired by travel and a wide art historical canvas, Kunaal's work is driven by an uncurbed curiosity to explore materiality and diverse artistic styles from classical to contemporary; the need to create a dialogue with the cultural and geographical context of a site is also an important part of his projects.
