CollectiveProject

About

We don’t just design buildings - for us, each project is a quest to find its hidden story. Whether it’s a home, a rural school, or a workspace, our focus is always on bringing out the soul of the space by responding to its context and using sustainable building materials in unexpected ways.

How We Work

• Collaboration is at the heart of everything, from the first sketch to the last brick. Our design journey involves clients, craftspeople, and contractors, making sure every detail is right.
• We obsess over physical models and on-site mock-ups, testing how spaces feel and how light moves. The best ideas often come from mixing our experience with the knowledge of local artisans.
• We care about the process as much as the result, and it shows in the way our projects are lived in.

What We Build

• Homes that feel deeply tied to their land, with walls made from site debris, stone off-cuts, or hand-moulded bricks. We love using jaali screens for light and breeze, and bamboo for airy canopies.
• Offices and commercial spaces that go beyond just function.
• Schools and community spaces built on tight budgets, using vernacular construction techniques and local hands, aiming to create genuine impact.

We find real joy when a space we’ve designed brings people together, or when a kid runs through a light-filled living space that once was just an idea. Not everything is easy or perfect, but that’s the beauty of contextual architecture - each project is a new adventure.
