We design offices and community centers that actively engage with their environment. Our spaces are built to nurture interaction, maximize natural light, and reduce the overall ecological footprint.

This animation shows our design for the Jhamtse Gatsal community centre in Arunachal Pradesh, nestled in the mountains. The design features an amphitheater on the roof to maximize usable space and integrates traditional architectural patterns.

The ground floor of the ASA Office in Bhopal was designed as a wetland to manage seasonal waterlogging. A raised brick walkway meanders through the plants and water bodies, creating a tranquil entrance that speaks to the organization's focus on natural resource management.

A quote from the founder of Oorjaa, a paper-making studio we designed, reflecting on two decades in one of Bangalore's first green buildings. The space, with its sun-soaked interiors and exposed brick, was designed to foster creativity and sustainable practice.

The Oorjaa studio in full swing, with artisans weaving and crafting paper products. The building's honest material palette of brick and concrete provides a robust backdrop for the creative process.

A quote from Oorjaa's founder highlights the importance of the water recycling system we designed for their paper-making process. This focus on circularity and resource efficiency was central to the project from its inception.

About Community Hubs & Workspaces

Choosing the right site strategy for a workspace is about more than just square footage. Whether it is integrating a natural wetland for water management like in our ASA office project or optimizing for passive cooling, we map your land’s specific topography before we ever draw a line. This ensures your building does not just sit on the ground, but actively works with it to minimize energy costs and create a healthier environment for your team.
