Every space we shape tells a story, and we are grateful for the industry recognition that highlights our commitment to design that is both functional and soulful.

We are honored to receive the National Business Award for Most Iconic Architects 2025. This recognition fuels our passion to keep pushing the boundaries of design and creating spaces with impact.

A proud moment for our team. Our principal, Nomita Sawhney, was presented with the Golden Aim Award for Most Innovative Architect in 2023, recognizing our leadership in real estate design.

We are thrilled to be recognized by the Golden Aim Awards. This award for Most Iconic Architect is a testament to our team's hard work and our continuous pursuit of design excellence.

About this collection

Awards like the National Business Award 2025 and multiple Golden Aim recognitions validate our approach, but they are just milestones in our larger goal. We do not design for portfolios or magazine covers; we design for the daily lives of the people who inhabit our spaces. Every project is a new challenge to blend functionality with soul, whether it is a boutique resort in the hills or a busy hotel lobby in the city.

Our journey has been defined by a constant push to improve, not just in aesthetics, but in how people interact with the environments we build. When we receive recognition as 'Most Iconic Architects' or 'Most Innovative Architect', we see it as a shared win for our entire gang.

We believe that design should never be cookie-cutter. Our studio operates on the principle that if a space does not have a soul, no amount of fancy lighting or expensive materials will fix it. That is why our process involves deep dives into site topography, local art, and guest circulation patterns before we even touch a drawing board.

Whether we are executing a hotel guest room renovation in Bhopal or crafting a nature-integrated retreat in Uttarakhand, our focus remains on creating a warm, rich atmosphere. We embrace the chaos of construction because it is the only way to ensure that what we imagined in our studio translates perfectly to the site.

For us, the real reward is not just the trophies but the transformation. We love taking dated properties and giving them a second life, ensuring they remain profitable assets for our clients while becoming destinations for their guests. We are always looking for the next project that lets us push our boundaries and learn something new.
