PHILOSOPHY
The design philosophy of Abhishek Ajmera Architects lies in Attempting to use ‘light’ as a building material, Respecting the five senses – sight, sound, smell, touch and taste, and working with the five elements of nature. Our underlying attempt in all projects is to participate, understand and work with nature, while also trying to imbibe culture and people’s aspirations. We try to create buildings that are simple, but not simplistic; that is modest and not monumental.
Climate is an integral part of our work as designers in a tropical context. We work towards creating naturally cooler internal conditions by creating Buffers to avoid the harsh sun, minimizing glazing on western facades with high radiation and bringing in strong air flow into the building. We believe in ideas without limits, and strive to create spaces without boundaries, as architecture for us is beyond the cosmetic and about the soul: it relentlessly for its realization.
