Sheet 01 · The studio

A practice built on the plan

Edifice designs homes, workplaces and hospitality interiors across Mumbai. The studio begins every project the same way - with how a family lives, how a team works, how a guest arrives. The plan follows the life. Never the reverse.

Drawn in Fort. Built across the city.

Sheet 05 · Process

How a project moves

Step 01

Listen

Every brief begins in conversation - at the kitchen table, in the boardroom, on the empty plot. The studio listens before it draws.

Step 02

Draw

Plans come first, by hand. Then models, then light studies. The drawing is the argument - nothing proceeds until it convinces.

Step 03

Detail

Joinery at 1:5. Stone in full-size samples. Brass finished three ways before one is chosen. Rooms succeed or fail in their details.

Step 04

Build

The studio stays on site, every week, until handover. A drawing is a promise. The building keeps it.

Sheet 06 · The practice

One principal. Every drawing.
