Who we are
Keirum isn’t your run-of-the-mill design studio. We don’t make buildings — we stage experiences.
Born in Hyderabad, raised on eclectic ideas, and addicted to culture, craft, and context, Keirum is where architecture collides with storytelling and design flirts with disruption.
We don’t chase trends. We don’t do copy-paste. We design spaces that feel like they were always meant to exist — raw, rooted, and unapologetically real.
For us, tradition and modernity aren’t enemies — they’re dance partners. We bring in local artisans, mash them up with contemporary aesthetics, and create work that’s both rooted in heritage and sharp enough for today.
Our Vision
To blow past the expected.
To design with soul, not ego.
To craft spaces that refuse to behave — but always feel just right.
Magic. Method. Mayhem.
This is our toolkit for storytelling in space.
Architecture, craft, and experience woven into every detail.
Architectural Design
Spaces that actually breathe. Homes, hotels, hangouts — we design projects that refuse to look like anyone else’s.
Interior Design
From spatial logic to curated chaos. Rooms that don’t just exist — they live, shout, whisper, and sometimes throw parties.
Brand-Driven Spatial Strategy
Your space is your brand. We make sure it speaks louder than your logo ever could.
Construction Management
Because design without execution is just Pinterest. We obsess over the build so you don’t lose your mind.
User Experience Integration
We think like architects and users. Flow, emotion, intention — every detail designed to hit.
Artisanal Collaborations
Local hands, honest materials, and a whole lot of soul. Craft that tells stories walls alone can’t.
The Mind behind
Keertana Rumalla, founder
Kiki doesn’t fit into neat boxes — and neither does her work. An architect trained in Hyderabad, a former UX designer, and a restless traveler, she’s spent 13+ years chasing ideas across disciplines, industries, and continents. From bustling cities to hidden corners of the world, she collects stories, textures, and inspirations — and pours them back into her projects.
She left the corporate grind, but carried forward its discipline, choosing instead to build Keirum — a studio obsessed with putting soul back into the built world.
Over the years, Keertana has worked on a wide array of high-profile projects — from luxury residences to retail spaces to hospitality landmarks. What she brings to the table isn’t just design sensibility, but also sharp project execution and a rare kind of emotional intelligence that turns spaces into experiences.
At Keirum, she leads with bold eclecticism, blending local artisanship with global influences, proving that architecture isn’t just about buildings — it’s about stories, culture, and the chaos of being alive.
