About Commercial & Institutional Architecture
What Drives Us
For us, a school, office, or factory isn't just a project - it's a place where people actually live their day-to-day. I want every space to feel like it belongs. We don't chase trends or awards; we focus on how people will use and experience every corner.
How We Design
I keep things simple, and that’s tricky, but it works. Every commercial or institutional space we create is shaped by empathy and real needs:
- Spaces that reflect your identity and culture
- Environments people enjoy being in, whether learning or working
- Sustainability isn’t an afterthought - it's built in, from energy use to materials
What Our Work Looks Like
You’ll see it in places like:
- A LEED-certified office tower in Noida where sustainable workplace design actually cuts energy and water use
- Creative office blocks with bold facades, like copper that ages beautifully
- Open-plan co-working with flexible pods and custom lighting
Schools get extra care - like a circular campus in Gurugram with DNA-shaped stairs and local stone that feels grounded. Factories and gyms get their own vibe, with things like green courtyards for natural cooling or using recycled materials straight from the site.
Honest Materials, Lasting Feel
I love using materials that feel real - exposed brick, concrete, local stones. They don’t try too hard and never get old. The goal? Every space should feel calm, solid, and made for people, not just for show.
