Studio URBITECTA is a Mumbai-based, collaborative of talented architects, urban designers and planners. Our practice works with our clientele to ask and answer questions, in levels of scales and detail. We seek the ethical place between success and consequence, as we are fully aware that everything we do has far-reaching implications, well beyond building. We treat every project as a potential benefactor to a sustainable environment, local economies, and our own community. Studio URBITECTA is committed to providing clients with innovative design solutions for projects that result from a highly investigative design process, a studied analysis of traditional and unconventional construction methods, and an ongoing commitment to researching sustainable technologies and resource efficient construction methods. It is our belief that architecture should be harmoniously linked to microclimate, context, and both local and global sites. As a result, we promote the use of local building materials, employ energy and resource efficient design strategies and actively practice "green" architecture. In conjunction with these aims, we produce environments that are honest, frugal and sustainable. Samir Shaikh, the Principal has over 15 years of international experience in USA and India. After having worked with eminent international architects like Johnson Fain and EHDD, Samir started his practice in Mumbai in 2013.
