This is the public profile of The Grid Architects, click here to view our interview with The Grid ArchitectsAbout The Grid Architects : “The use of green ensemble is a way of inspiring our fellow designers and tell them that our passion and creativity can make an ordinary material transform a space. This is our way to integrate sustainable and traditional architecture in the urban lifestyle. Initially one may feel that they have to make extra efforts to design a green building, space or interior but once the practice becomes your belief then it becomes a part of the natural process of designing,” concludes the duo. For us, designing is a spiritual journey
STATEMENT OF ART:DESIGNING IS A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY.
Our office/firm follows the philosophy of truth and honesty. The approach of the design philosophy of the firm was sensitivity to the profession chosen and the passion towards it.
Our approach is a conscious effort to avoid unnecessary clutter / cosmetic. Anything which is functional is efficient is meaningful and truthful.
We work as a team and work WITH tHE gRID Architects For us, designing is a spiritual journey. One in which energies of the universe and the spirits of the elements are as much a part of what we work with, as wood, stone, metal and greenery
Therefore, our designs are founded in simplicity and clarity, and create structures that are closely connected to the earth. While we strive towards compelling and dynamic spaces, we do so by combining clarity with quiet and thoughtful innovation; we endeavour to achieve the delicate balance of order and invention followed by integrity in work.
Deeply interested in developing sustainable designs that are hallmarked by creativity and minimalism, we have always focused on natural materials, creating schemes that are rooted to the earth and pay homage to the sky and water. A firm believer in being part of the change one would like to see in the society, we strive to create designs founded in simplicity and clarity, manifested through recycled, sustainable and natural substances. Our inclusive approach invites all stakeholders to contribute in whatever measure possible towards the final outcome. For us, design is a collaborative process that includes a cross-section of disciplines; an emotional journey undertaken along with a client; and a universal entity. Which explains our sensitivity to designing public spaces keeping in mind human psychological behaviour as well as difficulties faced by the physically challenged.
