About

From 2002 onwards, my journey in architecture has persistently strived for a deeper synthesis between urban landscapes, the regenerative power of renovating industrial structures, and human-centric design. Consistently, my ambition has been not merely to design spaces but to curate environments that foster growth, innovation, and well-being.

My foundational years as an architect centered on three pillars: Urban design, a diverse range of architectural undertakings—from industrial to residential—and the nuanced art of interior spaces.

For an architect, the compass guiding our designs is rigorous scientific inquiry coupled with a thoughtful analysis of both the prevailing zeitgeist and emerging paradigms. To truly sculpt tomorrow's environments, one must be ahead of the curve, foresight over hindsight.

In the nuanced world of interior and architectural design, symbolism isn't mere aesthetic—it's the essence. The magic happens when the skeletal framework of a space is imbued with meaning, rendering every nook and cranny a chapter in a larger narrative.

philosophy

To design is to acknowledge that architecture is not just bricks and mortar but the very fabric of human existence. It demands reverence not just for the aesthetic, but for the history, the natural canvas, and the urban tapestry that it nestles within.

Our foundational commitments lie in:

  • The resonance of Harmony
  • The precision of Proportions
  • Understanding Scale in all its dimensions
  • Harnessing the ethereal quality of Natural Light
  • Maintaining a Stylistic Consistency in architectural elements
  • Weaving Symbolism seamlessly into every design facet

Education

Expertise

Since my academic immersion, city planning resonated with me as an architect's clinical pursuit—viewing urban expanses as organisms, with their transport veins and multifaceted tissue layers of residential, public, and industrial zones. In this complex system, the architect is the clinician, tasked with nurturing urban health and sustainable growth. This clinical approach mandates decisions be grounded in robust research, analytical rigor, and contemporary renovation methodologies.

The rebirth of industrial spaces has been a golden thread throughout my career, having been captivated by the latent potential of dormant urban giants since 2002. In these behemoths—whether concrete or metal—lies the future of vibrant public domains and innovative residential solutions. The metamorphosis is a dialogue, ever-evolving, between the architect and the structure. Each phase might alter the narrative's trajectory, but the climax is invariably exhilarating.

It's imperative to underscore the allure industrial spaces hold—their magnitude, the legacy of their construction materials, and their intrinsic processes. The very scale of these spaces doesn't merely impose; it invites immersion, akin to the awe inspired by cathedral grandeur.

Philosophy in a Poem

Man Decides

By Anshumali Baruah

Lines on paper, stand out
The lines transform into concrete
Glass and steel find their places
A domain is defined.

* * * * * *

Man walks into this domain
Feelings of acceptance or refusal accompany him
A fate is decided.

* * * * * *

The domain constructed:
Finds its fulfilment in its users
Users and activities act as one
Thus, giving this domain a meeting:
A sense of being built.
But if this purpose falter
The domain degrades
Leaving a void in its place
A pain for the creator
Irreparable to the user

* * * * * *

But would it not be wiser:
To include man as the lines are drawn;
To indulge him in the choices;
And thus, arrive at a successful domain
Creating harmony for all?
