Urban & Public Realm Design
About
Urban spaces are much more than buildings and roads. For us, they're where stories unfold and daily life happens. We take time to really listen - to the people, to the land, and to what makes each place unique. Our aim is to shape spaces that feel like they truly belong there.
Projects That Speak
- In Ahmedabad, we reimagined the lari (street cart) with the 'Madam Narangi' project. What started as a simple cart turned into a way for women vendors to earn with dignity. The cart is mobile, folds up, and when you bring a few together, suddenly you've got a community public square design for markets or local events. Every bit is functional - retractable displays, a tough cover for protection, and even lights powered by movement. Plus, when it's done being a cart, it can be upcycled into a kitchen or a desk. That's upcyclable urban furniture in action.
- In Pollachi, we had to design for elephants, not just people. So, the Elephant Pavilion sits low, follows the land’s shape, and leaves every tree standing. Built from local earth and timber, it lets you feel the forest - not just look at it. It’s a quiet spot for officials and visitors, blending into the elephant corridor.
How We Work
We don’t just sit at computers – we build physical models, experiment, and get our hands dirty. This hands-on urban design process helps us see what works at human scale. We’re always thinking about how to use resources wisely, so the result is both practical and beautiful.
What’s Next
We’re now designing our first community temple. It’s a big responsibility - and a chance to shape a space for culture and togetherness.
