Our Team & Studio Culture
Architecture is rarely a solo pursuit. Get a glimpse into the collaborative studio culture and the hands-on design process that drives our projects from concept to completion.
The directors of Edifice Consultants. We are not just colleagues but co-creators of a legacy, a team that has grown, evolved, and stayed strong together for over three decades.
Design isn’t just what you see; it’s the thinking behind every line. Here, one of our senior architects sketches out ideas, a fundamental part of our creative process that translates vision into form.
The design process is a hands-on journey. An architect in our studio works meticulously on a physical model, testing spatial relationships and refining details to create spaces that truly respond to their purpose.
From site to studio, our team translates complex ideas into precise digital drawings. This behind-the-scenes look shows an architect at their workstation, deep in the process of detailing a project.
We are pleased to introduce Shailesh Kunte, our Vertical Head of Healthcare Interiors. With over 18 years of experience, he leads our team in delivering quality and innovation in every healthcare interior project.

About this collection
Design at our studio rarely starts on a computer screen. It begins with physical model-making, hand-sketches, and long, iterative discussions between our design leads and project teams. This collaborative approach allows us to stress-test spatial relationships and material choices long before construction begins, ensuring that every project—from urban campuses to specialized healthcare units—is built with clarity and intent.
The Edifician Approach
Since 1989, our studio has functioned as a living lab. We believe that great architecture is the result of 'design listening'—listening to the site's unique context, the client's vision, and the community's needs. This philosophy is embedded in our team structure. We foster a culture of mentorship where senior architects with decades of experience work side-by-side with young designers, encouraging a continuous exchange of ideas, traditional techniques, and modern technological advancements.
Our Creative Process
We do not believe in 'one-size-fits-all' solutions. Whether we are designing a multi-specialty hospital or a sustainable workspace, the process remains consistent:
- Conceptualization: We start by defining the core purpose of the space, prioritizing human comfort and environmental sustainability.
- Iterative Design: Through rigorous model-making and technical drawing, we refine every aspect of the project, from circulation flows to passive cooling strategies.
- Execution: Our Project Heads oversee the transition from studio concepts to on-site reality, maintaining high standards of quality, safety, and compliance with building norms.
A Culture of Collaboration
Beyond the drawing boards, our studio thrives on shared experiences. Whether it is celebrating project milestones, participating in local festivals, or engaging in collaborative research on sustainability, our team stays connected. This internal bond translates directly to our work; when our team functions as a cohesive unit, the projects we deliver are more efficient, resilient, and better suited for the people who inhabit them.
