South Delhi · Kothis, flats & builder floorsInterior design & home renovation in Greater Kailash 2 — from our South Delhi studio.
GK-2's kothis and apartments are 30–40 years old — great bones, tired everything. Whether you're renovating a builder floor off Masjid Moth, a flat near the GK-2 market, or a full kothi near Savitri, our Malviya Nagar studio handles the complete scope: design, structure, services, finishes and interiors, by one in-house team.

Home renovation cost in Greater Kailash 2.
South Delhi prices at the top of NCR — older structures, premium material expectations, and stricter society rules. Three honest bands for GK-2:
| Scope | Cost per sq ft (2026) | What it covers | 2,000 sq ft flat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard renovation | ₹1,400 – 2,200 | New kitchen, bathrooms redone, flooring, electrical & plumbing upgrade, wardrobes | ₹28 – 44 lakh |
| Premium renovation | ₹2,200 – 3,500 | Layout changes, designer bathrooms, false ceilings, full interior design, facade refresh | ₹44 – 70 lakh |
| Kothi / structural overhaul | ₹2,800 – 3,500+ | Structural strengthening, new staircase, waterproofing, facade redesign, landscaping | ₹56 – 70 lakh+ |
| Interior design layer | Typical GK-2 cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Design fees (standalone) | ₹50 – 150 /sq ft | Absorbed into the contract when the same studio executes the work |
| 3BHK full interiors | ₹20 – 45 lakh | Kitchen, wardrobes, ceilings, lighting, furniture, styling |
| Kothi full interiors | ₹45 lakh – 1.2 cr | Depends on floor count, stone and veneer specifications, double-height spaces |

Kothis and flats in GK-2 need the full stack.
A 35-year-old GK-2 home is almost never a "new curtains" job. This is what a complete, correctly-sequenced renovation looks like:
| Stage | What's involved | Why it matters in GK-2 homes |
|---|---|---|
| Strip-out & discovery | Demolition, debris removal, opening walls and floors | Old kothis hide damp, dead wiring and corroded pipes — the inspection decides the real budget |
| Structural & masonry | Strengthening, wall moves, new openings | Layout changes are what buyers pay a premium for in South Delhi resale |
| MEP replacement | Full rewiring, new panels, CPVC plumbing | 1980s wiring can't run modern AC loads — full replacement, not patching |
| Waterproofing | Bathrooms, terraces, balconies — flood-tested | The #1 dispute source in multi-storey kothis and builder floors |
| Finishes & interiors | Flooring, kitchen, wardrobes, ceilings, lighting, furniture | Where GK-2 expectations are highest — the visible half of the project |
The compliances: flats and builder floors need an RWA / apartment association NOC before work starts, with fixed hours and debris rules; kothi structural changes need revised MCD-sanctioned plans. And from November to January, GRAP restrictions across NCR pause dust-generating stages — we sequence calendars accordingly. Full compliance breakdown in our complete home renovation guide.
Interiors drawn around your home in Greater Kailash 2.
Every GK-2 home is different — ceiling heights, light wells, stair positions, the proportions of a 1980s kothi. Our interiors are custom-drawn for each space, not fitted from a template grid.

What the interior layer includes
False ceilings and layered lighting, the modular kitchen, wardrobes and storage, wall finishes, furniture and styling — planned together with the civil work so nothing gets hacked open after the paint dries.
- Custom plans for each home — dimension-specific drawings for your rooms, not catalogue layouts
- Ceilings and lighting as architecture — cove systems and automation-ready drivers planned with the structure
- Kitchens that anchor GK-2 flats — ₹3.5–15 lakh depending on stone, hardware and appliances
- Interiors frozen with the MEP — electrical points, plumbing and ceiling drops decided together, before execution
Across South Delhi: our Malviya Nagar studio serves GK-2 plus Greater Kailash 1, Alaknanda, Chittaranjan Park, Kalkaji, Pamposh Enclave, South Extension, Green Park and Saket — see our South Delhi studio page.

The GK-2 difference: bones over brochures
Homes in Greater Kailash 2 reward restoration, not replacement. High ceilings, deep plots and mature trees are the things money can't add later — so we design around them: double-height living rooms with restored staircases, balconies that catch the evening sun, and façades that respect the street's character while reading unmistakably current.
- Facade upgrades that lift resale — ₹400–1,800 per sq ft for stone, HPL, screens and gates
- Restored staircases and ceiling heights — the character features catalogue brands don't know how to keep
- Terrace and garden design — GK-2 plots come with outdoor space worth designing properly
- One team, one contract — civil and interior accountability in the same studio, with no subcontracted blame chain
Why a design-build studio beats commercial interior brands in GK-2.
Livspace and HomeLane are built for one job — fitting out ready flats with factory-made modular products. In a 30–40 year old GK-2 home, most of the work happens before the first wardrobe arrives.
| What a GK-2 renovation needs | Evas Designs (design-build studio) | Livspace / HomeLane (commercial interior brands) |
|---|---|---|
| Demolition & civil work | In-house — strip-out, masonry, wall moves, strengthening | Not in scope — work starts on a bare, ready space |
| Rewiring & re-plumbing | Full MEP replacement, designed with the interiors | Point-shifting only; 1980s services left as they were |
| Waterproofing | Flood-tested before tiling, photographed for records | Treated as a subcontracted add-on |
| RWA / MCD compliance | NOC process and plan revisions handled in scope | Left entirely to the homeowner |
| Design approach | Custom — drawn around your kothi's bones and light | Catalogue-led packages adapted to fit |
| Accountability | One contract, one in-house team, one number to call | Brand + freelance designer + factory vendors + subcontractors |
| Best for | Kothi renovation, builder floors, structural changes, premium interiors | Modular kitchens and wardrobes in newer flats |
Fair note: for a kitchen-and-wardrobes-only job in a newer flat, the big brands' factory pricing is hard to beat, and we'll say so. For a full renovation in Greater Kailash 2, they simply aren't in that business. Full analysis on our Evas vs Livspace vs HomeLane page.
What clients say about us.
Rated 4.9★ across 47 Google reviews — a few words from homeowners we've worked with.
Our kothi off Savitri was half-renovated by two different contractors before Evas took over. One team, one contract — and it finally moved like a single project instead of five arguments.Meera Kapoor — Greater Kailash 2, New Delhi
They told us honestly that parts of our 3BHK only needed a refresh, and priced only what was needed. That honesty is why we handed them the full second floor later.Rohan Bedi — Builder floor, Alaknanda, New Delhi
The 3D elevation they showed before we signed is close to what stands on our plot today. The same studio that drew it built it — that made all the difference.Family Khanna — Kothi renovation, Greater Kailash 1, New Delhi

Interior design & renovation in Greater Kailash 2, answered plainly.
What homeowners in Greater Kailash 2 ask us before starting.
In 2026, home renovation in Greater Kailash 2 costs roughly ₹1,400–2,200 per sq ft for a standard scope (new kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, electrical and plumbing upgrades), ₹2,200–3,500 per sq ft for a premium renovation with layout changes and designer finishes, and ₹3,500+ per sq ft for a luxury kothi renovation with facade and structural work. A typical 2,000 sq ft flat in GK-2 lands between ₹28 lakh and ₹70 lakh; a 3,000 sq ft kothi with structural and facade scope runs ₹60 lakh to ₹1.1 crore. South Delhi sits at the top of NCR pricing because of older structures and higher finish expectations.
Interior design fees in GK-2 typically run ₹50–150 per sq ft for standalone design services, or are absorbed into a turnkey contract when the same studio executes the work — which is how most of our GK-2 projects are structured. A full interior design and fit-out for a 3BHK flat (1,400–1,800 sq ft) usually costs ₹20–45 lakh including the kitchen, wardrobes, ceilings, lighting, furniture and styling. The kitchen and wardrobes are 40–50% of a typical interior budget.
A full flat renovation in GK-2 takes 8–14 weeks; a kothi renovation with structural, facade or waterproofing scope takes 4–7 months. GK-2's 30–40 year old kothis usually need 2–3 weeks of strip-out and discovery before the real scope is known. Between November and January, GRAP restrictions can pause dust-generating work like demolition and masonry, so we sequence the calendar around winter — the same schedule logic as Gurgaon, since the rules are NCR-wide.
Internal, non-structural renovation needs no MCD approval. Flats and builder floors in GK-2 need an RWA or apartment-association NOC before work starts, with fixed working hours and debris rules. In plotted kothis, internal work is free of approvals, but structural changes — adding a floor, extending covered area, or altering the facade line — need revised sanctioned plans from MCD, plus compliance with the MPD's floor-area rules for the plot. All sites must follow dust and construction-waste norms, with GRAP restrictions in winter.
Renovate when the frame is sound — a premium renovation costs ₹2,200–3,500 per sq ft against ₹3,500–5,000+ per sq ft to demolish and rebuild a kothi, plus 12–20 months and fresh MCD approvals. Rebuild when the foundation or frame is compromised, when you want a floor the old structure can't carry, or when renovation quotes cross roughly 70% of reconstruction cost — beyond that line, a rebuild gives you a new asset for marginally more money.
Livspace and HomeLane are commercial interior-furnishing companies built around factory-made modular packages — they don't do demolition, masonry, waterproofing, rewiring or structural strengthening, which is most of the work in a 30–40 year old GK-2 home. Evas Designs is a design-build studio: architecture, civil work, services and interiors by one in-house team under one contract. For a modular-kitchen-and-wardrobes refresh in a newer flat, the big brands are competitive; for a kothi renovation, they aren't in that business.

Yes. Every GK-2 project starts with a free site inspection, followed by concept drawings and a photorealistic 3D elevation, then an itemised line-by-line BOQ.
