Code Design Studio

Rajat Sanghvi and Naina Reddy

MakeSpace Architects was founded in 2019 by Ar. Naina Reddy and Ar. Rajat Sanghvi. Both of us,after graduating from Architectural Association of school of Architecture and working in London for a while, we came up with an idea to start a studio in India which is experimental in its own ways, practicing Semiological Architecture, Parametric Architecture and Urban Planning /Designing. At Makespace architects the design approach is end-to-end, and each solution provided is a culmination of research-based design. We at MakeSpace Architects believe that a combination of Architectural contextualization and scientific innovations can lead us to unbox the stereotypical approach towards architecture. Understanding user needs, context, and materiality through a systematic process of conceptualization, schematic design and design development, helps us provide with most efficient, pure and experiential spaces. We believe in Minimalism - “less is more “and strong use of materiality to define our projects. We believe in creating every project with its own language which entails the description of semiology there can be a lot of guidelines to form that language like context and users play a very important role. To attain a simple intuitive architecture which can communicate with the users and can guide them through its usability. Our guiding philosophy inspires to learn about all the design cultures, local and globally- local context which can impact the design and hence we don’t have a set of cultural inspiration. Every project with its cultural context inspires and motivates us in the same manner. The studio propagates the idea of treating every project as unique and bespoke. All the projects are resultant of a team effort rather than individual opinions. Thus, creating an environment of positive questioning, towards the anomaly of architecture.
