When Dr. Ujas Shah approached us for the eighth branch of the Vraj Group of Dental Clinics, we knew we weren’t just designing another medical space—we were adding to a growing brand that patients now associated with precision, care, and calm.

Caption The space, though compact, wasn’t just small—it came with significant structural offsets and fixed plumbing zones. We didn’... More
