The boutique firm offers architecture and interior design services. Over the course of two decades in practice, the firm has handled numerous prestigious projects in the residential, commercial, hospitality, and institutional sectors.Darius leads a handpicked team of talented young professionals trained in-house to attune themselves to the firm's philosophy and contemporary aestheticPhilosophy:From a modern architectural perspective, we hypothesize that a human is at his best when brought into proximity with nature / natural elements. He is happier, and performs his tasks better when in a comfortable environment that promotes proximity to nature… while at the same time being sheltered from her. Like nature, great art and architecture also have the power to stimulate our senses.In architecture – form and space, light, scale, detail, colours, and material influence our thoughts and emotions. Well-conceived spaces designed with sensitivity and thoughtfulness can influence the human mind and induce various feelings, including uplifting the spirit. Thus, in each project that we undertake, in addition to using our technical skills to address the client’s brief, we also like to define at the outset our goal in terms of the mood, emotion, and feelings we would want our designed spaces to induce...!The ability to go beyond merely answering the client’s space requirements is what separates an architect from planners.
