[View full gallery](https://mytribe.in/process.architects/architectural-design/gallery) I design workspaces, schools, and administrative buildings that balance utility with a human touch. From master planning large campuses to detailing functional office interiors, I ensure every public space serves its purpose while standing the test of time. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Here is an office building my team designed in Koramangala, seen during the final stages of construction.

Whether I am planning an office complex or a residential school, I start with site logistics—traffic flow, setbacks, and natural ventilation—before drawing a single line. This ensures the building works for its occupants rather than just serving the aesthetic. When working on commercial and institutional projects, the scale often makes architects lose the human element. My team and I prioritize the 'process'—raw site stories, honest materials like terracotta, and practical engineering. For instance, in our school campus project in Bidar, the master plan focused on separating academic blocks from student hostels to create quiet learning zones while maximizing open spaces. In commercial projects like the KMDC Bhavan in Sheshadripuram, the focus shifted to operational functionality: clear circulation, efficient waiting areas, and acoustic integrity for the auditorium. We handle the heavy technical lifting—FSI optimization, zoning, and fire safety compliance—but our goal is to avoid the 'cold concrete box' feel. We prefer buildings that breathe, using natural stone and light-well techniques that reduce long-term maintenance costs for the client. We want our buildings to age gracefully, which is why we often prefer exposed brick and terracotta jalli walls for commercial facades—they are low-maintenance, thermally efficient, and look better over time. ## About Process Architects I am Ashok Shetty.
