We design buildings by studying each site closely, using local materials, and creating layouts that connect people, nature, and the surroundings.

About

We approach architectural design as a way to connect buildings, people, and the environment. Our process always starts with a deep dive into the site and its surroundings - never just dropping a structure and calling it done.

How We Think About Design

  • Every project is a conversation with nature. We love using courtyards, green roofs, and terraces to blur the line between inside and out.
  • Sustainability isn’t a checklist for us. We use passive design strategies, source local materials, and upcycle whenever possible (like turning old wood into new staircases).
  • Materials matter. We get hands-on with concrete, stone, and steel, always looking for new ways to use what’s available.

Our Process

We’re big on research and model-making. Sometimes we’re sketching, sometimes we’re building with balsa wood, sometimes it’s 3D printing. This lets us experiment and sort out challenges like privacy and density through innovative spatial organization.

What We Work On

  • Private homes, from hidden retreats to smart city plots. We do internal courtyards and inventive layouts for a sense of openness.
  • Larger housing - we rethink typical apartments, adding shared green spaces like sky orchards.
  • Offices, schools, universities, and community spaces. Projects range from hovering office extensions to sports arenas with green roofs and schools designed for tight city sites.

Why We Do It

We believe good architecture should have human scale, rhythm, and a sense of uniqueness. Every project is our shot at making the world a bit better than it was before.

My Story

We’re Thirdspace, Praveen and Namrata here. Since 2002, we’ve called Pune and Belagavi home, sketching out ideas in Koregaon Park, under the trees. There was this late-night email in 2019 – not a complaint, but a note from Christopher Benninger, praising the human scale in our hostel project. That message, honest and unexpected, still keeps us going. Our studio’s shaped by moments like that – small things, big meaning.

My Work

What we do - We design architecture, interiors, landscapes, master plans, and restore heritage buildings.

How we think - We look for organic neighbourhood growth patterns, weaving private spaces with gardens and community courtyards architecture.

The Thinking Hand process - Our design process is hands-on and messy – sketches, models, diagrams, whatever it takes to get real.

Types of projects - Private homes, weekend retreats, offices, university arenas, co-living, housing – we like variety.

Restoring old souls - Restoration of Art Deco buildings is our thing. We keep the old soul, just give it a new life.
