These projects reflect our commitment to human-scale design and context-sensitive planning. ## Photos and videos - ![This render of our upcoming housing project in Bengaluru illustrates our approach to creating a layered urban fabric.

This initial investment in understanding the context often dictates the final form, allowing us to integrate contemporary needs like passive cooling or community plazas without disrupting the existing ecosystem. Our practice is defined by the process. We operate on the belief that a structure must respect the layers of its environment. When we approach an urban renewal project, we begin with Nolli maps to analyze built form versus open space, ensuring that every new addition enhances the flow of the city. Our methodology includes: - Heritage Preservation: We look for the soul of derelict buildings. Our adaptive reuse projects aim to give new purpose to historical structures, using non-permanent materials to create a dialogue between the past and the present. We believe in keeping the old soul while updating the functionality. - Institutional Design: Projects like our University Sports Arena in Hubbali demonstrate our focus on submerging large volumes to maintain low-profile campus aesthetics while maximizing functionality. We use zinc and glass to reflect the surroundings rather than dominate them. - Community Master Planning: We treat townships as living fabrics. By prioritizing pedestrian movement and weaving gardens, shops, and homes together, we create environments that foster natural social interaction rather than forced gatherings. - The Thinking Hand: We reject purely digital workflows for every stage. We use sketches, diagrams, and physical models to test ideas, understand site dynamics, and communicate complex spatial strategies to our clients. This hands-on, often messy approach allows us to see connections that a screen might hide, whether it involves simple massing or intricate facade design. ## About Thirdspace Praveen and Namrata here. We founded Thirdspace to rethink how buildings inhabit our cities, focusing on the spaces between structures as much as the buildings themselves. We prefer a hands-on process, sketching, building models, and iterating until the form finds its natural place in the landscape.
