Inside Our Design Studio: The Team Behind Edifice
Design is a conversation, and our studio is where those ideas take shape. Meet the architects and designers who translate complex site constraints into high-performance spaces.
The directors of Edifice Consultants. This is a team that has grown, evolved, and stayed strong together, co-creating a legacy of architectural excellence in India.
We celebrate the promotion of Manan Soni to Project Head. His insight and intent, from concept to construction, are invaluable to our team and our developer space projects.
We celebrate Pratik Dastidar's promotion to Project Head for Corporate Architecture. He brings a thoughtful, multidimensional lens to his work, blending design precision with artistic passion.
Meet Tushnar Bomi Karkaria, our new Project Head for Corporate Interiors. Her expertise and dedication have been instrumental in key projects for MNCs and corporate headquarters across India.

About this collection
When you engage our studio, you work with a cross-functional team that integrates sustainability experts, project leads, and interior designers into a single feedback loop. We hold rigorous internal walkthroughs—like our recent sessions at the JSW Vasind and Godrej Koregaon Park sites—to ensure that every detail we propose in the initial sketch is technically viable and construction-ready. This internal cohesion reduces guesswork during your project’s execution and ensures the final result remains true to our core design intent.
Great architecture relies on more than just a blueprint. At Edifice Consultants, we believe the quality of the built environment is a direct result of our internal culture. Our studio is structured to foster continuous learning, mentorship, and open dialogue, which we believe is essential for solving the complex challenges inherent in modern Indian architecture.
A Culture of Inquiry
Our design process is iterative. We avoid the ‘black box’ approach; instead, we invite critique and collaboration. Whether it is a vertical office tower in a dense metro or a large-scale corporate campus, the project benefits from the collective experience of our diverse vertical heads. By the time a concept reaches the construction stage, it has been stress-tested by our sustainability managers and material specialists to ensure it meets our standards for energy efficiency and human comfort.
Bridging Academia and Practice
We frequently open our studio to students from institutions like Vastu Kala Academy and the Lokmanya Tilak Institute. These sessions—which we call our OpenDoor events—are not just for the students. They force our senior designers to articulate our design philosophy—biophilic principles, net-zero goals, and modular planning—to a new generation. This constant exchange keeps our thinking sharp and prevents our processes from becoming stagnant.
On-Site Learning
We treat construction sites as classrooms. Our team regularly conducts on-ground walkthroughs, documenting material performance and spatial zoning. By experiencing the projects in their raw state, our designers gain a granular understanding of how daylight, ventilation, and structural massing actually perform. This ensures that when we plan your corporate headquarters or administrative block, the decisions we make are grounded in practical reality, not just theoretical models.
