About Cultural & Heritage Architecture
We look at cultural and heritage architecture as a way to keep stories alive. Every project is about finding the right balance between respecting what's already there and making it work for today.
What We Actually Do
- Sensitive renovation of old spaces - especially religious buildings, with a focus on Sikh Gurudwara restoration and other sacred architecture design.
- We blend architectural styles, like Mughal and Sikh, so the final space feels rooted but not stuck in the past.
- Interiors, exteriors, landscaping - we handle it all, making sure it fits the spiritual and cultural vibe.
How We Work
- We keep as much of the original structure as possible, but we’re not afraid to reinterpret things where needed.
- Love using traditional materials in architecture, like bamboo and rammed earth, but we also use new tech to make buildings more sustainable.
- You’ll get to see your project through detailed 3D views or physical models before we start building, so it’s not just a shot in the dark.
Why Us
- We don't just restore - we reinterpret, always with an eye on comfort, peace, and keeping the space truly yours.
- For us, a building isn’t just a structure. It’s a story, and we want that story to feel honest and lasting.

My Story
Since '95, we’ve been mixing architecture, interiors, and green spaces - not just building, but shaping feelings. Our thing? Finding that sweet spot. Love making big, fancy spaces for guests, but your private corners gotta feel like home, peaceful and just right. It’s a buzz seeing our work pop up, like a hotel lobby we did showing up on TV. For us, it’s about memories, not just walls.
