Ar. Sonali & Ar. Manit Rastogi Morphogenesis

Our projects are conceived through a research-oriented approach to policy, planning, design, technology, passive and low energy design. Every design is conceived through the lens of ©SOUL - Sustainability, Optimisation, Uniqueness and Livability. These four aspects are central to all our design processes.

Our endeavour is to design in a manner that reduces consumption of resources and energy while increasing the number of habitable hours with minimum reliance on mechanical means. This has resulted in buildings that consume upto 50-70% lesser energy than certified Green building benchmarks through passive design and microclimate creation, proven through post-occupancy evaluation.

We understand that we are often working in an environment with limited resources. Our approach ensures integrated project delivery with spatial, structural, façade and MEP optimisation resulting in a significant reduction in the capital and operational cost.


Architecturally, we celebrate identity and diversity versus visual homogeneity. We think of our buildings and cities as bazaars, places of human interaction along with being places of human habitation. This ensures that all our projects are unique, whilst responding to the client, climate, context, and the end-users.

The end-user always sits at the centre of our design process in our approach to building smart environments. We consider mobility, security, outdoor comfort, technology, health and well-being, ease of facility management and disaster readiness to create spaces that work equally well for all users.


These parameters define the enquiry process that shapes the architecture of Morphogenesis. We believe that Architecture, Design and Urbanism as processes must be in step with the forces of urbanisation, globalisation and technology. It is this bridge between tradition and modernity where the work of the practice is positioned.
