SAGARIKA SURI, a practicing architect and urban designer in Mumbai, has recently set up Studio Tessera. The studio has diverse interests in planning, architecture, interior and furniture projects and is passionate about material and technology as much as planning and building typology. The studio believes that working at several scales simultaneously enhances the project and the practice.

Before setting up her own practice, Sagarika worked with Mumbai based firm Malik Architecture and Delhi based Stephane Paumier Architects on several large-scale housing development and institutional projects. She is also a part of CSA-Collective for Spatial Alternatives and has been engaged in self-development and low cost housing projects in Mumbai.

Sagarika completed her Bachelor of Architecture degree from CEPT, Ahmedabad, India in 2006 and graduated with a SMArchS (Master of Architecture) degree in Urbanism from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA in 2011.
