# Meeta Jain Architects

We treat architecture as a fusion of art and design, creating context-aware homes, artist studios, and community spaces. Rejecting a signature style, our work celebrates authentic materials and the unique story of each project.

## Meet your expert

### My story

I started doodling before I could spell my name, honestly. Studied at CEPT in Ahmedabad, learned architecture’s not just about buildings—it’s about art, space, people. Delhi raised me, but Bangalore let me breathe and build my own rhythm. Set up my studio in 2000, then came 1 Shanthi Road—helped me see how creative spaces shape culture. MapBee happened in 2009, bringing folks together for small city changes. Mentoring students—watching them get it, that’s the real high. Full circle, as they say.

### My work

- **What We Do**: We design homes, artist studios, community spaces, educational places for kids, and public art through MapBee.
- **Art Meets Architecture**: For us, context-aware architecture and art are one thing—each project tells its own story, never just a style.
- **Design Process**: No fixed style here. Every project is a fresh journey, shaped by close teamwork and trust with clients.
- **Materials We Love**: We play with natural, raw stuff—exposed brick, steel, RCC—mixing light and heavy, up and down, grounded and skyward.
- **Spaces for Change - MapBee**: MapBee is about temporary public spaces, workshops, and preserving history—sparking community and new ways to connect.
