Established in 2002, the work of Thirdspace Architecture Studio serves as an exemplar of the intricate and diverse facets that India encompasses. The studio's portfolio extends across multiple scales, typologies, and geographies, reflecting a deep-rooted engagement with the Indian urban landscape.
Operating from two locations, Belagavi and Pune, the former a small town by Indian standards, and the later a bustling metropolis and among India’s fastest growing cities, allows Thirdspace Architecture Studio to imbibe two ways of living and working within its very structure.
The practice’s work embraces a conceptual and an experimental approach, while remaining firmly grounded in the contextual nuances of its work. In doing so, they forge an innovative path towards engaging with localised urbanity, while also addressing global architectural concepts and issues.
Over the course of the past two decades and more, the studio has garnered wide acclaim for their projects, receiving numerous awards and earning recognition through publication in reputed national and international magazines and websites.
The practice serves as a vehicle for exploring the liminal territories between conventional dichotomies: nature and structure, tradition and innovation, rural and urban milieus. The appellation 'Thirdspace' encapsulates this ethos, denoting a realm that transcends conventional binaries, both spatial as well as conceptual.
Under the guidance of its principals, Namrata Betigiri and Praveen Bavadekar, and supported by a team of talented and motivated architects and designers, Thirdspace Architecture Studio embodies a fusion of diverse experiences, proficiencies, and skill sets. This collective wealth of expertise enables the studio to approach complex briefs and challenges with a fresh and distinctive perspective, consistently delivering novel and imaginative solutions.
