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. ## Highlights Browse through Thirdspace's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/studio_thirdspace/architectural-design/featured) - ![A vibrant scarlet spiral staircase serves as a sculptural connector in a commercial office building, transforming a simple circulation element into a memorable spatial experience.

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. ## More services from Thirdspace - [Urban Design & Master Planning](https://mytribe.in/studio_thirdspace/urban-design-master-planning) · ₹3.5-10L per acre (estimate) - [Interior Design](https://mytribe.in/studio_thirdspace/interior-design) · ₹120-350 per sq.ft (estimate) - [Heritage Restoration & Adaptive Reuse](https://mytribe.in/studio_thirdspace/heritage-restoration-adaptive-reuse) · ₹150-500 per sqft (estimate) ## Book To book Thirdspace, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Architectural%20Design%20by%20Thirdspace.)
