Central to our ethos is an appetite for contextuality, sustainability and buildability. One of our greatest strength is our 3-way approach while addressing the challenges of individual projects - enquiry, discovery and understanding. Our perspective to each project comes from an innate desire to address and answer the challenges in the spirit of innovation.
With more than 20 years of experience, we work creatively to execute tasks with a deep sense of optimism and passion. Our current efforts are in the direction of revival of existing conditions, which can be witnessed in our projects ITO Skywalk in Delhi and Dakshineshwar Skywalk at Kolkata that cater to the busiest roads of the two metropolitan cities. Tapping into local ecology, human culture and socio-economic fabric; the design strategy of these projects presents a continuum to city’s heritage and resources, with the employment of advanced engineering and innovation.
Architecture of Conscience. Connection with the past should not be limited to relics but to revitalize historical buildings, retrofitting them for the new generation. Architecture is a source of communicating memories, but architecture of the present should communicate values and a sense of place. The only constant that will connect us to our history is our tangible architectural heritage. Deeply respectful of these principles, the design of our project The Delhi High Court is an expression inspired by the ancient architecture of Lutyen’s Delhi. The design of the annexe respects the imprints of the past – whether in the eaves drawn from old architecture of Rajasthan or in materials like sand blasted Dholpur stone and Red Agra stone that blends with the National Gallery of Modern Art in the vicinity.
