About us
Architecture was born out of necessity and is very powerful and influential. It influences and affects how the spaces are used and how the activity it caters to functions. It also influences the land that it is built on, and therefore it’s immediate surroundings. Appropriate architecture is when there is a co-existence and balance of man’s needs, the built and its surroundings.

The context includes - the user-group /client's everyday needs, site & it's surroundings, geographical location, the climate, the manpower, the financial resources, time and building materials.

Rina Rani | Principal Architect
Practicing architecture since 2014, I have worked on and completed projects of various typologies and geographical locations. This has lent me a different perspective about the construction practiced and approach in each scenario.
My design process is an idea-driven approach towards detailing out spaces that are sensitive to the everyday use of spaces, responding to the local context : Light, climate and surroundings.
