tHE gRID Architects is a multidisciplinary design firm founded in 2002. We are based in the city of Ahmedabad Gujarat India. Besides our architectural work, we also engage in experimental projects and research and development. The Studio has been honoured with more than 100 International and National awards.
A major aspect of sustainable architecture is going back to our Indian roots, taking inspiration from vernacular structures and applying them in new buildings
Snehal Suthar and Bhadri Suthar focus on creating designs founded in simplicity and clarity crafting structures that are closely connected to the earth. While we strive towards compelling and dynamic spaces, we do so by combining clarity with quiet and thoughtful innovation; we endeavour to achieve the delicate balance of order and invention followed by integrity in work and contextual design
Our architecture and interiors are mindful of international standards of designs, including those for the physically challenged, known as Barrier free spaces and Green and sustainable biophilic buildings and spaces. The people are becoming more conscious about sustainability and save environment. The future of design is learning from the roots and implementing in today’s technology. The approach of the design philosophy of the firm was sensitivity to the profession chosen and the passion towards it. We aim for inspiration that enhances well-being, health, and emotional comfort through biophilic design.
Our approach is a conscious effort to avoid unnecessary cosmetic. Anything functional and efficient is meaningful. Our aim is to design contextually, using local materials and local craftsmen. Our philosophy is centered on a commitment to nature, advocating for truth and integrity.
As part of our contribution to our profession, we serve as visiting faculty and members of the jury panel at NID, NIFT, and various architectural institutes, as well as many national and international competitions. Our portfolio is diverse, encompassing architecture, landscape, interior design, and specialized furniture design, all unified by sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.
Snehal was born into a Carpenter’s family and always witnessed small ideas developing into significant results. Seeing end users happy and enjoying the design, and understanding its meaning, left a lasting impression on him and motivated him to choose this profession. Bhadri was always inclined towards art and craft and chose this path at a very young age. For both of them, it is not just a profession but a passion. Snehal has a Master's degree in Sustainable Architecture Design, and Bhadri, his spouse, is an Interior Designer from APIED, Gujarat, India.
We practice “Heartfulness” path of meditation, and believe that “Designing is a Spiritual Journey”.
