Design Atelier is a multifaceted Architecture and Urban design firm that works with a thoughtful integrity and a contemporary sensibility creating distinctive environments, buildings and interiors in five service areas- General Architecture, Campus Design, Housing, Hospitality and Workplace Design. DA was formed in 1992 as a studio workshop that pursued an exploration in building crafts as the founding premise of architecture and design activity. Now a full service firm, we continue to engage with a variety of related arts, graphics and craft professionals to develop more holistic and inclusive solutions for the formation of more humane architecture that responds to society. We dream of translating the underlying principles of a rich Indian cultural heritage into structures for our evolving society into an architecture that is of its time.
Design Atelier works in a fusion style that employs a basic modern sensibility and local material, art and craft to foster a contemporary architecture firmly anchored in specific local peculiarities and to create dramatic impact. We emphasize continuously improving on traditions and translating building elements into something new and intrinsically meaningful. We value daylight, water, and natural elements set amidst enjoyable indoor and open air places to meet in deference to natural conditions. To improve building performance, we apply Sustainable practices to all aspects of our design and building construction, creating a specific form, responsive to the Sun, climatic conditions and local setting. We aim to differentiate each project by a careful orchestration of architectural elements that create a lasting and memorable image. As each new project is unique, our design expects to complement the locale and convey a timeless quality that creates a signature design that enhances the identity of the place.
"Our concerns in architecture are achieving simplicity with a subtle blend of modernity and tradition, East and West, formal and picturesque. We believe that design brings grace to life and that matters", states Aashish V. Karode, Principal - Design & Planning Services, Design Atelier.
