About DIUS

A youthful practice, led by experienced hands.

DIUS Design Consultants is an architecture and design–build practice in Chennai, working on factories, corporate campuses, institutions and homes across India. Our directors stay on every project from the first sketch to final handover.

Our approach

The best buildings come out of the room, not the drawing board.

We believe the strongest projects come from genuine collaboration between architect, client and consultant. Site conditions, programme, budget and sustainability all shape a scheme — our work is to turn them into a clear three-dimensional answer.

Our architects and specialist consultants work together from the earliest stage, so a design is tested for structure, energy, cost and buildability before it is ever presented. Regular meetings with you refine those early concepts into one well-defined solution.

Leadership

Directors on every project, not just the pitch.

Both directors are involved directly in design and delivery — which means you deal with the people actually making the decisions.

Insights

In the wider conversation.

Architecture does not stop at the site boundary. Subbiah and Sunayana write, speak and sit down with the industry — on how buildings actually get delivered in India, what sustainability costs in practice, and what a young practice learns on a live site.

Sustainability in Building Construction

Knauf India recently hosted an insightful panel discussion on "Sustainability in Building Construction”. The conversation highlighted the pivotal role of individual actions and government policies in shaping a sustainable future. Key takeaways from the panel included the importance of sustainable design principles like natural lighting, efficient ventilation, and reduced energy consumption. We also discussed the urgent need for circular economy practices and the reduction of embodied energy in building materials.
