Our design philosophy is based on balancing the clients’ requirements along with an innate keenness to create a socially relevant and an environmentally responsible architecture. Our architecture style is clean, no-nonsense architecture that’s climate responsive at best. We don’t really advocate ostentatious designs for the heck of it.
Value for money is important. Value of resources is important. Wastefulness in any form today is to be reviewed and discouraged. Good architecture is creativity in using the right resources in the best manner. Quality and low-maintenance are the most essential and on-top-of-the-list ingredients of our style quotient. Great designs fare pathetically if they are high-maintenance and not maintained in the long run. Same goes for good designs on paper that are executed with poor quality. ‘Doing less is more’ is really the most suitable where maintenance is a challenge in the best of projects. Since budgets are always defined for any project, where to spend and how to spend is an important part of the architectural design process. Improvement on quality and specifications is far more important than to add some unnecessary elements that would just add unnecessary cost.
‘Beauty is subject to choice but virtuous design is impartially beautiful’. Going by this belief, we try to be true to the context of design. Windows without any shading devices may look great and work great on a facade in a particular climate, but they would fail miserably in a sunny climate where shading is critical.
We would like each project of ours to be different than the other, so having an architectural style, so to say, one that deprives us of thriving on variety and having a fresh perspective for each project, is no agenda for us. We prefer well-balanced designs. Having too many elements vying for attention is chaotic design for us, wherein a well-balanced design with rightful focal points is pleasing to our design sensibilities. We also love to use colour for its charm. In today’s times, most of our private clients are very well-read on design trends, thanks to pinterest, instagram etc; they know what they are looking for in terms of aesthetic expression of their personal style. If they let us surprise them with some new and fresh design ideas, we consider ourselves fortunate!
