Architecture and Design
“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.”
– Frank Gehry

Our Philosophy
•Design is a journey and not a destination.
Design is a process of identifying and solving problems. It is a to and fro
process and can never be a one stop answer to a set of design problems
because of layers of problems that have to be answered.
•We believe in Building Spaces for real People.
We feel architecture in not just about four walls or a building with rooms
but it is a culmination of spaces derived from cultural backgrounds, forms,
play of light and shadow, striking a harmony with nature. Designing is
essentially a continuous process of discovery that elevates the
understanding of architecture, for the client and the architect.
•We believe in building within a Context.
The context could be culture, climate or materials.
