Aura is the studio of Nahar Rahman — spaces conceived not as backdrops, but as places that hold how you actually live. Every room begins with a feeling, and ends as an environment you return to on purpose.
Nahar Rahman founded Aura on a simple belief — that good design is felt before it's seen. What started as a handful of quiet residential projects has grown into a studio trusted with restaurants, offices, and retail spaces across the city, each one built around how people actually move, gather, and breathe.

01
Full-home and single-room design — from spatial planning and material selection to furnishing and styling. We design around how you actually live, not how a room photographs.
02
Restaurants, cafés, and boutiques designed for atmosphere and flow — spaces that draw people in and give a brand somewhere to live in three dimensions.
03
Offices built for focus, collaboration, and culture — layouts and materials chosen to make an ordinary Tuesday feel considered.
04
Gardens, courtyards, and green façades planned alongside the build — softscape and hardscape balanced so the outdoors feels like an extension of the rooms it borders.
Nahar didn’t just design our restaurant — she designed how it feels to walk in for the first time, and the hundredth.
— Rafiq Ahmed, Owner, Cinder & Salt
As Aura has grown, so has the family around it — three distinct crafts, one shared belief in spaces built with intention.
