Been at it since 1996, ya, almost three decades. Amit and Rahul lead us, always pushing for that meaningful mix of context and craft. Our studio’s like a giant adda (hangout), where debates over materials get heated and laughter’s never far. We’re obsessed with learning, whether it’s a new software or just figuring out how sunlight hits a wall. It’s not just about projects—it’s about people, food, and those random moments that make us a real team. ### My work - **Architecture & Interior Design Services**: We design homes, shops, offices, hotels—new builds, remodelling, adaptive reuse, all in our mix. - **Contextual & Climate-Conscious Design**: We let the site and local heritage guide us, using climate wisdom and materials that belong, like rammed earth. - **Experiential Spaces**: We shape spaces that go beyond function—think multi-level bookstores, food markets, retail that tells a story. - **Restorative Design**: Instead of tearing down, we remodel and restore, giving old buildings a new life for today’s needs. - **Material Honesty**: Materials matter. We pick them for feel, light, and character, not just looks—always a real conversation.
