Studio Lilaya

art . illustration. concept

Studio Lilaya is an art, illustration and concept design studio based in the UK. We work with architects, designers and communities, helping them express their visions through inspiring illustrations and the art of storytelling.

We specialise in communicating complex ideas through digital hand-drawn sketches, helping our clients visualise their projects for architectural buildings, landscapes, gardens, urban schemes, and masterplans, connecting thoughts and narratives through playfulness and nostalgia.

prakriyā . iti . līlāya

The name of the studio comes from the Sanskrit word, Līlā (lee-la), which is the spontaneous creative expression of life itself. We move forward with this ethos, engaging in a process of discovery, prakriyā (pra-kree-ya), to uncover the spirit of a place.

We then translate this spirit in our work, through a playful and creative expression, līlāya (lee-laa-ya), celebrating the joys we experience in community and our natural environments.
