Design

Matters
The science of design is a combina-
tion of seemingly opposing concepts
- art and utility, form and function,
attention to detail and timely delivery.
When these and other elements come
together in a perfect balance we have
a blueprint for novel designs that
become the foundation of buildings
with individuality, character and
authenticity.
At AB the balancing act is important.
We spend hours tapping surfaces, test-
ing materials, sketching concepts and
applying them to create designs that
work harmoniously with people and
surroundings.
Who is going to live here? What kind
of office is it? How many people will
enter each day? The design process is
about asking questions about the hu-
man factor. It is the human need that
drives intelligent design today and
determines the nuances of any build-
ing project - be it lighting, ergonomics
or the choice between enclosed areas
and open spaces. We consider our
design process to be end-user centric.
We start by understanding people;
by asking fundamental questions
and collating knowledge on lifestyle,
habits and usage. This turns functional
aspects of everyday life into pleasant
experiences.
Great structures are about more than
just well-laid bricks and mortar. They
are a reflection of the designers skill
and ability to keep whats useful and
do away with whats unnecessary. Is
the environment comfortable? Is it
one with nature? To come up with the
right mix of emotional connections
that a building can make with the peo-
ple that come to live, work and play
there, we rely on technical superiority
and know-how, along with the will to
explore and experiment with materi-
als, technologies, effects and layouts.
In the age of collaboration, shar-
ing spaces is as important as being
productive within them. This makes it
imperative to stay abreast of the latest
global trends in the business of design
and architecture.
Our international alliances with some
of the most reputed design firms of
the world is a conscious step in the di-
rection of creating world-class design
in the era of a shrinking world and
closer interactions. In short, we make
buildings that act as common ground
for a truly global community.
Designing for people requires atten-
tion to detail at the minutest levels
just as much as a timeless design itself.
In todays demanding world, timely
delivery, streamlined processes and
the best materials are a pre-requisite
to design that fulfills the need of any
architect, architectural aficionado or
daily user of spaces.
At AB we are engaged in new and
innovative ways to execute any archi-
tectural design project through con-
stant refining of tools, processes and
systems. Extensive project documen-
tation and tracking, use of copyright
design software and stringent quality
control aid in the best outcome for any
project, regardless of size or scale.
Since 1969, we have been the premier
agency in the country for reliable de-
sign solutions in architectural projects.
We have achieved recognition in 20
national and international competi-
tions and our clients include several
Government and semi-Government
agencies as well as corporate houses
both from the public and private sec-
tors. Almost 60% of our new projects
come from older and existing clients.
