History

We are a legacy practice spanning three generations with a history that reaches back to being Bengaluru’s first architectural firm.

Throughout this history, we have sustained a reputation for design excellence, long client relationships spanning multiple projects, and a work culture of ethics, courtesy, consideration and collaboration.

When you are sustaining a legacy, you must transcend your desires and stand for something more than yourself.

Our legacy has spanned generations past, and we are committed to it spanning generations to come.

Values
Create Collaboratively

Imagine two similar groups of people where in one group all have an ethical conscience and in the other only the leader has a conscience. Clearly the former lives a richer life. Our culture is founded on this premise. Externally, we pursue co-creation of value with clients and other partners. Internally, we mentor a brainstorming culture in which we encourage all, from the senior-most to the junior-most, to pursue their passions and express their voice

Enrich Life

The test of good architecture depends more on the affection for it bred by years of inhabitation than on the wow of first impression. We endeavour to create spaces that catalyse enticing and emancipatory experience, thereby accruing value for inhabitants as well as clients.

Bond with Nature

We pursue the tangible and intangible dimensions of sustainable design. At the tangible and quantifiable level, we pursue optimisation of energy and resources as per the established principles of green design and ratings such as LEED or GRIHA. At the intangible level we pursue a weave of architecture, landscape and light that sustains community, intimacy, solitude, a sense of belonging, and the rhythms of the earth.

Invest in Relationships

We have a saying inherited from the founding generation of the firm, “Start with a client, end with a friend.” Once we strike a relationship with a client who aligns with our values, we commit to supporting them on multiple fronts: all projects whatever their size, feasibility studies, and shared reflection on value. Through the years, a substantive percentage of our workload has always come from repeat work generated through long-term relationships or referrals from our client base.

Partner Resiliently

We have deliberately sized our firm as large enough to be a professional organisation that is not over-dependent on a couple of key people, yet small enough that the owners of the practice are involved with every project. Every project is supported on a day-to-day basis by the mentorship of the practice leaders as well as team leaders who have the autonomy and experience to run all aspects of the project.
