farmPAD by ZERO9.in is designed to stay nestled within the trees, never imposing itself on the land. The architects’ long-term vision is for the space to evolve into a thriving food forest, enabling a more sustainable and conscious way of life.

The co-founders of ZERO9 Prashant Chauhan and anu chauhan built farmPAD around the philosophy “Build Less, Grow More.” Instead of another luxury farmhouse, they chose to build lightly — preserving trees, reducing concrete, using climate-responsive design and natural materials, and letting the landscape grow into a living food forest.

At Kavundampalayam Government School in Coimbatore, MAWI DESIGN has done more than just repair a fragmented campus. They have reimagined the everyday ritual of a school, giving physical form to the idea that learning does not begin and end with a timetable.

The studio's brief was to seek where learning actually happens. "That first visit established an important principle for the project," share the founding partners Malli Saravanan and Kavitha M, recalling their earliest site walk, describing canopies that "extended across the campus like a second roof, holding the existing buildings within a larger shaded structure." Children ate, rested and played beneath them. The trees, in effect, were already the architecture. "The architecture would have to move around the trees rather than replace them. Preserving their shade and the everyday life beneath them became central to retaining the character of the school,” elaborates Malli.

Expanding an occupied office is rarely straightforward, particularly when the building has served as the headquarters of an institution for over five decades. For Praveen Bavadekar and Namrata Betigiri ( ) of Thirdspace Architecture Studio (), the challenge was to create additional workspace for the KLE Society in Belagavi without disrupting the functioning of the existing office or altering its place within the century-old educational campus.

The solution was to build above. A new 1,000 sq.m office sits over the old headquarters, supported by just eight cylindrical RCC columns positioned to avoid interfering with the spaces below. The original building remains operational, while the new addition establishes a distinct presence of its own.

Designed by Sikka Associates Architects (.associates.architects), the World Trade Center, New Delhi, repositions one of the capital’s most significant commercial precincts as a connected urban ecosystem. Conceived as a multi-tower workplace district, the project brings office, public realm, and shared amenities into a single framework while reasserting the relevance of central Delhi as a contemporary business destination.

For principal architect Raman Sikka and his team, the challenge was not simply to place buildings on a site, but to shape a district that could absorb intensity without losing legibility. "The World Trade Center responds to a critical gap in Delhi's urban fabric, where fragmented and ageing office stock had steadily pushed premium workplaces to peripheral business districts. Our intent was to recentralise commercial activity by creating an integrated ecosystem where work, culture and lifestyle coexist within the city," he reveals.

Icons in Spotlight, presented by Saint-Gobain Windows () in association with Architecture+Design, celebrates 50 of India’s most compelling architectural voices shaping the evolving design landscape. At the centre of it stands the ‘window’, an element that modulates light, mediates sound and defines how a space is experienced.⁠ ⁠

Shoaib Ali () and Ishan Aalam (.aalam) of Subtle Saga Associates Private Limited (.associates) in New Delhi design with a belief that complexity should never show. Their work is rooted in strong architectural identity and human-centred thinking, of spaces that are environmentally considered, and built to perform.

At Radius Synergies International Pvt. Ltd. in Sector 63, Noida, that philosophy takes the form of a contemporary workplace conceived around occupant comfort, natural light, and sustainable design. The side elevations, lined with a series of strategically placed UPVC windows, are carefully considered instruments, maximising natural daylight across the office floors, reducing dependence on artificial light, and giving every occupant a living, shifting connection to the landscape, the sky, and the passage of the day.

“If I am building something today, would I want to live here for the next twenty years?”

For Gurinder Bhatti (, ), Opus One (), the company's inaugural development in New Chandigarh, was never conceived simply as an expression of luxury or a statement of architectural ambition. It emerged from a deeply personal philosophy, shaped by lived experience and guided by an enduring belief that a home should evolve with the people who inhabit it.

The answer became the foundation of Opus One. Rather than beginning with architecture, Bhatti began with people. He reflected on the changing dynamics of the Indian family, the aspirations of younger generations, the needs of ageing parents, and the everyday rituals that transform a residence into a home. The result is a development informed not only by aesthetics and functionality, but by an understanding of how families live, grow, and remain connected across generations.

There are developers who build homes, and then, there are visionaries who seek to redefine the experience of living. Gurinder Bhatti (), Chairman of GB Realty (), belongs unequivocally to the latter.

Rooted in entrepreneurial vision, family values, and a long-term commitment to Punjab, Gurinder Bhatti conceived Opus One as a landmark of design-led, nature-rich, luxury living. In this conversation, he explains how Opus One was envisioned as a home for multigenerational living and modern aspirations, shaped by an unwavering commitment to comfort, privacy, and longevity.

Our ‘Every Square Foot Matters’ tries to decode the evolution of the Indian urban apartment and how the 700–950 sq ft 1 and 2 BHKs have become the default unit of city life for a growing segment of young professionals and first-time home buyers. The conversations featured here unpack the design decisions that spotlight “space efficiency”. Expect reconfigured layouts that improve circulation, integrated storage that eliminates clutter, flexible rooms that accommodate changing routines, and micro-amenities that enrich everyday life without demanding more space. Featuring: , , .collaborative, , and .town

This issue also features projects from across typologies: the World Trade Center by Sikka Associates Architects (.associates.architects), the Jodhpur Airport by Sthapati (.official), Hover Space by Thirdspace Architecture Studio (), the Kavundampalayam Government School by Mawi Design (.india), farmPAD by ZERO9 (.in) and Roshandaan by Alkove-Design ().

Icons in Spotlight, presented by Saint-Gobain Windows (Saint-Gobain India - Glass Business) in association with Architecture+Design, celebrates 50 of India’s most compelling architectural voices shaping the evolving design landscape. At the centre of it stands the ‘window’, an element that modulates light, mediates sound and defines how a space is experienced.

Shobana Rajappa, Principal Architect and Director of Rajappa Shobana Architects, designs homes that hold two things in balance that rarely coexist easily: elegance and ease. Her work combines strong geometric volumes with earthy materials and generous landscaped spaces.

'Poorvaja' in T-Nagar, Chennai, is built around a dialogue between the interior and the world just beyond it—and the windows are the medium through which that conversation happens. Intentionally positioned, each window is designed to frame a view, draw in natural daylight, and encourage the kind of cross ventilation that makes a home feel alive rather than just air-conditioned. The result is a residence that does not announce its sustainability or its sensitivity. It simply breathes, opens, and connects.
