In 2024, the studio evolved into Khosla + Anand, where he continues to lead the practice as Co-Founder and Principal, shaping work defined by material richness, craftsmanship, and a timeless spatial language.

Amaresh Anand studied Architecture at the BMS college of Engineering, Bangalore, and joined Khosla Associates in 1998, a few years after its inception. As a partner in the firm, he has been integral to the evolution of the practice over the past 25 years, culminating in its transformation into Khosla + Anand, a new entity co-founded by Amaresh and Sandeep in 2023. His eye for design detailing and expertise in construction technologies has enabled interpreting the firms’ vocabulary in new and innovative ways. Amaresh’s career-path is littered with interesting experiences and professional acclaim. His passion particularly shines through in projects like DPS Kindergarten School which won the prestigious Inside World Festival of Interiors award in 2013 and Retreat in the Sahayadris, which was a winner at the WAN House of the Year award in 2017. Together, Amaresh and Sandeep have been listed among Architectural Digest’s most influential designers for 13 consecutive years (2014–2026), and received the ‘JK Architect of the Year’ Award in 2024. Amaresh has also engaged with the world of product design, creating an award winning furniture collection, along with lighting and fenestration among others. A passionate DJ and an avid traveller, he draws inspiration from the experiences and encounters that continually inform his approach to design.
