Ar. Krupa Zubin & Ar. Zubin Zainuddin ZZ Architects
There definitely is an unconscious style that we have probably drifted to over the years. Our work is very personal and process driven and have individual identities. The underlying philosophy has always been to ensure that the projects that we work on have a timeless appeal. The very fact that projects which have been completed, over a decade ago are still being appreciated which exemplifies our belief in keeping our work relevant and not being carried away by ongoing trends.

As designers, we understand that design has the inherent power to transform our behaviours and to shape our culture. We make sure that the structures that are built today are well designed assets for the city. Also, space is an essential commodity and is probably ‘always never enough’.

Contemporary Architecture is something that we really connect with, inspirations can be from all relevant times, styles and periods, but our approach has always been to be true and relevant to the current scenario. Technology and efficiencies of building construction are always being pushed in all the projects that we build.

It is necessary to be conscious of energy-efficient design during the initial ideation of a project, including lighting, facade systems and fenestrations. It is key for projects to harness as much of natural light as possible and the correct rating of the glass specified. The typology of the system is key to make the project work as desired. One needs to rationalize choice driven by the absolute essential and also be open to the ever-changing complexities in projects both as a functional aspect and an aesthetic one.

Our expertise in the use of materials, attention to detail, and interpretation of contemporary trends translate into spaces that are essentially timeless. Permanence is easily attributed to stone and we love using stone extensively both as an architectural and interior element in all our projects. The range and diversity of the material also is very exciting. This spirit not only guides the firm but enables it to maintain its position in a highly competitive and fast-changing industry.
