Studio
We practise site-specific, environmentally sensitive contemporary architecture, approaching every project knowing that buildings shape how people live.
Cognition Design Studio was established in 2017 by Ar. Mohammed Fazil and Ar. Muhammed Faris. Both hold a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture and a Master’s degree in Sustainable Architecture. The practice works across Kerala and South India at many scales and typologies: residential and luxury residential, healthcare, commercial, educational and institutional, hospitality and industrial projects. Our work has been published in regional, national and international media, and in 2022 the studio received the iGen “50 under 40” award from Architect and Interiors India.
The team
A group of curious thinkers and designers who work best together — sketching over coffee, debating materials on site, and sharing every project from first brief to handover.
