Arun K. Phalgunan is an architect whose work is guided by a quiet dialogue between form, light, and the land. A graduate of Mumbai University and based in Cochin, he has spent over fourteen years shaping spaces that resonate with a sense of place and purpose.

Through Studio Valakola, Arun explores architecture as an evolving story — one that grows from its context, culture, and emotion. Each project is a search for timelessness, where the rhythm of materials, the play of light, and the spirit of the site come together in harmony. His work extends across Kerala and beyond, weaving sensitivity and restraint into spaces that are meant not just to be seen, but to be felt and remembered. For Arun, architecture is not an object of display — it is a lived experience, one that breathes, lingers, and belongs.
