# SAV Architecture and Design

We see architecture as a form of storytelling, blending computation and craft to create spaces that are in dialogue with nature. Our studio offers services in masterplanning, architecture, and interiors, specializing in tropical modernism.

## Services

### [Architectural Design](https://mytribe.in/studioamitavikrant/architectural-design)

Takes projects across India; Studios in Goa and London

Typically ₹120-400 per sq.ft. (estimate)

- ![This is our vision for Pavilions in the Fields, a series of homes designed as perforated structures set within an infinite landscape. We juxtaposed solid stone volumes with porous screens to create a contrasting architecture of solidity and transparency, inhabiting the space between earth and sky.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/18f1ccbb-6be9-4959-8058-82db570c9f77)
- ![For the Sun House, we asked if a house could have emotions. The double-height living space, with its dramatic brick walls and sunken amphitheater seating, is our answer. It is a space designed to be powerful in its moods and imaginative in its form.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/08b9e492-4353-4531-916b-b76a1a030d15)

The design progressively unveils itself, with flowing walls and large overhangs that open onto a serene pool deck, seamlessly blending the social spaces with tropical greens.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/3b9ab605-c6cd-4866-b311-d1da52e062b7)

We use flowing curves, soft light filtered through inner courtyards, and a direct connection to lush greenery to create a feeling of warm serenity and tropical escape.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/024ae5b8-3477-414e-a2cf-69dc3b614352)

The shifting volumes and cantilevered pools create a dynamic form that feels both modern and rooted in the landscape.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/8dee1ceb-9b71-4c91-bc9e-c2a8becfeff2)
- ![For Apartment 56 in South Mumbai, we aimed to merge art and interiors into a gallery-like living space.

- ![In Apartment 56, we explored the concept of fluid, gallery-like living.

This design choice is not just aesthetic; it provides essential shading from the tropical sun and ensures privacy for each residence, while integrated planters merge the building with the landscape.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/02d5c307-577a-43c6-9d3a-d2ea4ecc98e1)

### My story

We're SAV, bouncing between London, Mumbai, Goa - each city kind of sneaks into our work. Started out wanting to blend tech stuff like computation and fabrication with the old-school charm of storytelling and craft. For us, a house isn’t just walls, it’s a story - sometimes it hugs the land, sometimes it hides little secret spots. Even our drawings, we treat them like poetry. We get a bit obsessed, not gonna lie, with every step from sketch to space.

### My work

- **Architecture & Design Services**: We do masterplanning, architectural design, interiors, and landscaping for homes, commercial spaces, wellness spots all over India.
- **Concept-Driven Approach**: Mixing computation and craft, we make designs that tell a story and feel alive.
- **Tropical Modernism**: Earthy materials, flowing spaces, courtyards, screens - all about that warm serenity and tropical modernism architecture.
- **Passive Cooling & Nature**: We work with the land, not against it. Passive cooling design and seamless indoor-outdoor connection are big for us.
- **Obsessed With Process**: Drawings are our language. From wild ideas to nitty-gritty details, we guide everyone through each step.
