LIVE IN BALANCE
We are
TERRAFORM ARCHITECTS
Co-founded by architect Shruti Joshi and architect Ajay Geevarghese.
Live in Balance. Design for Balance.
For Terraform Architects, this philosophy encapsulates our commitment to creating spaces where sustainable living harmonizes with architectural brilliance. It means crafting designs that not only stand out aesthetically but also contribute to the well-being of users and the environment, fostering a balance between functionality, beauty, and the natural world.
Who We Are
At Terraform Architects, we challenge the notion of right or wrong architecture. Our core belief is that spaces should adapt to the user, not the other way around. We craft environments that seamlessly blend planning, design, interiors, landscape, sustainability, materials, precision engineering, technology, and innovation. Inspired by Brian Reed's words, "Everything is designed but few are designed well," Shruti J. and Ajay G. aspire to transform lives and communities through thoughtful design and academic practices.
How We Work
Our approach centers on designing spaces that not only enhance lives but also make them easier, more efficient, and healthier. We prioritize both form and function, ensuring our designs are both significant and far-reaching. Collaborating closely with clients and consultants, we refine and simplify deliverables, always with an eye for detail and purpose. Following Frank Gehry's philosophy, we believe that architecture should speak of its time while aspiring for timelessness.
What we Create
Equipped with knowledge of international and Indian building codes, our team tailors design and architecture standards for each project. Leveraging the latest innovations, green design principles, and modern software like B.I.M. and computational design, we ensure the seamless integration of quality and quantity. This metamorphosis across disciplines allows users to not just see but truly experience our architecture. With an eye on the future, we build the very best for today and beyond.
