About Commercial Architecture
What We Believe
At 23DC Architects, I see every commercial project as much more than just walls and windows. A good commercial building should speak for itself - show your brand, make a mark, and last. My approach is all about creating understated elegance, where even small details matter and nothing feels forced. Honestly, sometimes it’s the simplest ideas that work best.
All-in-One Design, No Hassles
I offer an integrated commercial building design process. Everything from big-picture architecture to the smallest interior touches is handled by my team. This means you get:
- Architecture, facade, and elevation ideas
- Structure and engineering sorted
- Interiors fully planned, including furniture
- Lighting and custom product design, all under one roof
It cuts down on confusion - you don’t have to chase five different teams. Every part fits together smoothly.
What We’re Good At
I mostly work on:
- Office space architecture solutions that don’t feel boring or boxy. Think more sunlight, more energy, and spaces that actually help people work better.
- High-end retail architecture and hospitality - from jewellery boutiques to big banquet halls with an Indian vibe. My spaces mix local culture with modern flair.
- Signature facade concepts - I love giving each building a front that makes people stop and look.
Real Projects, Real Stories
One standout project? An “edgy” office in Hoshiarpur for a financial firm. The building’s sharp lines and bold materials mirror the ups and downs of the market. There’s even a big bull statue out front. Inside, it’s warm and bright - a place that feels ambitious but comfortable.
What Matters Most
I’m here to help you create a space that’s as unique as your business. Whether you’re in Punjab, Bangalore, or beyond, my goal is always the same: make your building feel like it truly belongs to you.

My Story
We’re 23DC, started by Shiv Dada and Mohit Chawla. Our thing? Mixing the soul of old Punjabi homes with the kind of luxury you spot in Dubai Hills. Not just fancy looks, but spaces where families actually live and grow together. We’ve taken this vibe from Punjab to Delhi, Dubai, USA, and Australia. Getting into Architecture + Design’s Top 50 was cool, but what really drives us is making homes that feel like home—luxury with heart.
My Work
Ultra-Luxury Design Services - We do palatial villa architecture, modern estates, luxury office design, high-end jewellery stores, hotels, restaurants, and urban spaces.
Design Philosophy - Luxury means lifestyle. We mix classic elegance, wellness, privacy, natural light, and a strong indoor-outdoor flow. Sustainability is non-negotiable.
Remote Project Monitoring - Our 'everyday site visit' system uses daily site photos so we catch issues fast, even for global projects.
Our Approach - Less is more. No clichés. Each space—be it ancestral Punjabi home restoration or a bold office—tells its own story.
