Architectural Design

Construction of structures has been a common phenomenon ever since civilizations came into existence. However, architecture existed alongside quietly, leaving its impressions in the finer details of structural planning, and with evolving times, of societies, fine arts and advanced building materials. With time, different architectural styles came into existence, each incorporating the corresponding values, beliefs, norms and gradually, religious influences. This resulted in the wide variety of architectural styles that are prevalent today. It continues to grow, modify and with time, shall subsequently give rise to new forms of architecture. A sum total of each and every known structural detail since the beginning of human settlements till date is collectively known as Architecture.

An architectural style is based on the living patterns of its subjects. The earliest architectural styles have quite localised approach to structures- greatly focused on the local climatic conditions, geographical factors, economics, materials and the likes. As trades flourished, exchange of architectural ideas resulted in amalgamation of various styles. Some of them are renovations, for example, classicism gave way to neo- classicism; some others, like Modernism, are abrupt developments that seek change from tried and tired architectural and interior styles.

Interior Design

The art of imparting aesthetic value while enhancing the functional aspects on each individual element in an enclosed space that ultimately results in improved quality of living for the end user is known as Interior Design.

An Interior Designer has many hats to put, all under the domain of an interior design project. Periodic research, diligent planning, coordination at multiple levels and holistic management of a project right from the moment it is conceived to its completion, are some important responsibilities of an Interior designer. The profession itself is multifarious; it includes conceptual development, space planning, programming and research, site inspections and supervisions, construction management, reporting to stakeholders of a project and realization of a design.

It becomes imperative to emphasize on the fact that while interior decorating focuses on arrangement of interior elements, the profession of interior design gives immense importance to planning, functional design and the effective use of space. Therefore, the understanding of the finer details enables an Interior designer to execute projects ranging from simply arranging the basic layouts of space within a structure, to projects demanding finer technical intervention in terms of any given project, such as acoustics, lighting, door and window positioning, electrical layout and so on. Interior designers are sensitive to the site requirements and are extremely careful while planning a design for a site. An Interior Designer is aware of the importance of not manipulating load bearing elements such as walls,

in an existing structure or for that matter, even while preparing a layout, for the sake of aesthetic enhancement, unless a prior approval is obtained from a structural engineer. Because of the nature of work, Interior Designers often work in association with engineers, contractors or architects. An effective interior design greatly exhibits application of colors in such a way that all the interior elements come together as a whole, in a harmony while maintaining individual elemental brilliance at the same time. Cleverly implemented color schemes can add a lot of aesthetic value and provide a signature tone to an otherwise dull interior. It therefore becomes mandatory for an interior designer to understand the true nature of hues, tones, shades, tints, intensities and values and also to successfully apply this knowledge keeping in mind the psychological effects of colors. This ultimately leads to the application of the right color at the right place for the right aesthetics that impart the right effect for the space utility and occupant.

The color schemes tend to eventually influence those who are exposed to it, either positively or negatively, depending on the state it creates in the minds of its observers. Colors can end up adding charm, peace, positivity, comfort or drama. It can create illusions that make a big room appear smaller and vice-versa. Hence, the feel of a space is in the hands of an interior designer.


Project Management

We commit to the aim of attaining the eventual goal of successful delivery of a project while striving to resolve issues related to time, quality, costs, sustainability and safety management effectively-keeping the best of interests of clients and other stakeholders at heart.

Architectural project managers take control over the whole project, right from developing, organizing and reviewing building plans, apart from developing general contracts for construction contractors. They orchestrate the whole process beginning from site preparation to facilitating the building completion. For the purpose of smooth work flow, architectural management can be categorized in two sub sections: Office management and Project management. Office management modulates the guidelines to be followed by the organization in order to achieve completion of individual projects successfully by ways of their commissioning, designing and completion. It includes the allocation and financing of resources, preparing premises, providing required infrastructure and efficient manpower and equating and estab

lishing relevant fees for the variety of services rendered by it. Project management deals with appropriate time management in complete project execution, from initial designs to developing working drawings and eventually managing the whole construction process. In effect, both the types have same objectives but are taken care of by separate management systems.

The true mark of an able architectural management team is in its ability to make a given project work cost-effective by maintaining equilibrium between design quality and profitability.

A professional member of a business team has at his disposal, a variety of standardised management tools and techniques derived from repetitive industrial processes that often may not fit the image of an architect as a creative individual comfortably. It is here that the term “Architectural management“rather than “construction management” comes into play. The former term was coined in 1960s to address the changes that building construction field was going through, owning to the complex nature of innovation and experimentation. Architectural firms generally appoint an office manager who in turn may be equipped with an administration assistant or a team of assistants. Of late, the role of a project manager is being increasingly played by an independent consultant, mainly during the construction phase. This is owing to the fact that the project managers have responsibilities pertaining to surveying disciplines, which in turn leaves only the architectural sections to be managed by the in-house architects.

We ensure expert level competence in Project Management, Architecture and Business Analysis. Our consultants do not settle for anything less than the latest standards, methods and technologies and our extent of work enables them to regularly update their skills.
