Business Summary
They are a Mumbai-based, award-winning, multidisciplinary, design practice with over 48 years of experience. From its inception, their practice has attempted to develop a contemporary design syntax for the Indian subcontinent, by approaching architecture as a synthesis of ‘Ecology’ and ‘Spirit’.Ecology implies a seamless, cohesive and holistic approach to design. This is achieved through the assembly of a group of highly motivated and evolved specialists in different disciplines. They believe in creating lasting relationships that become so deeply intertwined, that the whole ceases to be a sum of its parts, and instead becomes a living, breathing organism in itself.Luis Barragan once said "Architecture is the spatial execution of spiritual decisions." Deriving from that, Spirit implies balance, understanding and tranquility. Their work draws inspiration from nature, not through only its physical forms, but through its principles and processes. They also try to resurrect the Indian artisan, as theyll as cultivate the use of local materials as a corollary to enctheiraging sustainability. This is exemplified by their works that incorporate load bearing brick masonry, stone masonry, exposed concrete and most recently, the innovative use of structural steel.
