Top Architects in Mumbai

With the increasing advent of globalization, there is a need for projects in cities like Mumbai to be a step beyond the rest. The two main reasons for this to be felt are that firstly, the city is the commercial face of the country and is welcoming brands and multinationals from all over the world; and secondly, it has always been a trendsetter for other smaller cities in India. Some of the top architects in Mumbai today are deemed to be among the best our country has. These few architects are the ones having well-established architectural and interior design firms in the city, with ongoing projects in and around the city as well as other parts of the country. While all architects working in the metropolitan are striving to fulfill the ever-increasing demands of the consumers, these may be the only ones that are in tune with the customer’s pulse.

Today architects have their work cut out for them. The unparalleled growth and fast changing trends have architects and interior designers pushing at the boundaries of creativity, to produce something that is unique and has a clear exceptional quality about it. The newer architectural concepts that can be seen these days have a blend of contemporary styling, minimalism, traditionalism and abstract design to appeal to the various clientele that are included in the segment of buyers. Architecture is no longer just about building a sustainable good-looking structure that can house a number of people. Now it is all inter-related spaces, exterior-interior visual connections, and aesthetics and functionality coming together. Another principal role of architects is to create a structure that can achieve maximum FSI and saleable area for the developer. If you take a drive down the roads of Mumbai in the night, you will be stunned at the different styles of buildings you come across. And mind you, this is not accidental, even the lighting techniques used to illuminate the structure in the night are well-thought through by the architects.

In today’s time architecture is fragmented into different parts. These are mainly Structural design for the framework, landscape design for the outside area, interior design for the inside space, lighting design for illumination purposes, utility design for networking, branding design for signage and graphics, and audio design for sound and acoustics. With so many aspects to take care of, most leading architects now choose to work with teams of professionals, rather than bear the brunt alone. This is the reason why most top architecture firms in the city are in partnership, and even have fresh professionals from the various fields of architecture to help in giving valuable input on projects. While all fragments of architecture are put to use when designing commercial complexes, most residential designs do not need audio designers, branding designers and utility designers.

In the past decade or so the role of an architect has changed for building functional structures to those that show creativity and innovation. This fact has brought about a new league of top architects in Mumbai. To these architects are striving to change the very skyline of the city. The city is now home to some of the highest towers in the State. This trend is not limited to commercial projects, but also residential buildings. Of course, when it comes to high rise residential projects a lot more thought has to be put in, in terms of security and parking. For this, many architects have come up with designs that allow comfortable ramps for maneuvering cars, drop off points for security, well planned landscapes, space for in-house gymnasiums and swimming pool, gardens, and so on.
