What Drives Us

We see architecture as more than just buildings - it’s all the space in between, and the people who fill it. Our heart is in Mumbai, and making its public spaces work better for everyone is what keeps us going. Whether it’s sorting out a messy transit hub or making a tiny seaside park for kids, we use practical ideas to tackle real problems, not just pretty sketches.

How We Work

  • Community-driven park design is at the center of what we do. We listen, we observe, and then we design places that actually fit how people move and live.
  • Quick fixes matter too. With tactical urbanism strategies, we test, tweak, and scale up smart changes - because waiting for big budgets sometimes means nothing changes.
  • Working with BMC, ALMs, and locals, we know real impact comes from joining forces. No one can fix a city alone.

Some Real Projects

  • Transit hub redesign Mumbai isn’t just a phrase for us. At Bandra Station, we cut through chaos, made clear lanes for rickshaws, widened paths, and added green bits. Now, lakhs get where they’re going with less hassle.
  • At Bandstand, we built a small park by the sea. Simple. Kids run, parents chill, everyone gets a breather from the city.

Where We Stand

We don’t just design - we speak up. If something feels unfair or short-sighted, we call it out, whether it’s a street redesign tender or a heritage building under threat. Mumbai’s future rests on what we build and what we keep.

My Story

Hey, we’re SDM Architects. Books and architecture kinda blend for us - both can flip your thinking, open up new worlds. Mumbai’s chaos keeps us on our toes, but also makes us want to give back, like turning Bandra station into something people can actually use, or making parks for kids. Our team’s always talking, debating, swapping ideas. Samir’s got his kid’s photo on his desk, headset and all - maybe future architect in the making.

My Work

Architecture & Interior Design Services - We design everything from bungalows to industrial buildings, floating restaurants, and urban public spaces.

Public Spaces for Mumbai - Projects like Bandra Station Improvement focus on pedestrian-friendly urban design for daily commuters.

Child Friendly Interiors - For places like JOY Preschool, we create custom preschool interiors that are safe, playful, and multi-use.

Adaptive Reuse & Sustainability - We love adaptive reuse projects - like turning a river cruise boat into a floating restaurant, using sustainable design.

Design Through Dialogue - We build by debating, not just drawing. Our work is shaped by real discussions about cities and heritage.
