profile

anthill design is a team based architectural studio that has been involved in building design, research and academics since 2005.

at anthill design we have had the opportunity to build in diverse geographical and cultural contexts across the country, developing a design process that allows for the ‘character’ of each project to emerge in response to the particular qualities of place. rooted primarily in the use of local natural materials, this design process believes that architecture involves the modification of the earth’s crust for human inhabitation and so should be done carefully. as we take material from ‘here’ and organise it ‘there’ we aim to connect the internal worlds of our clients to the physical landscapes around them. This includes urban landscapes, the study of which have found expression in the national and international exhibitions that anthill design has curated. in many cases the exhibition material has become the seed around which seminars and discussions on emerging indian urbanity have been structured.

at anthill design we are deeply committed to ‘process’ as much as we are to our final ‘projects’. we pride ourselves for remaining involved and being able to organise incremental projects that emerge stage by stage as they are being lived in and used.

process

at anthill design we understand ‘process’ to be an indicator of ‘empathy’, the framework through which we are able to inhabit our projects as they emerge. this is also the framework by which projects are connected with the built environment that has come before us, and around us. it is the framework that conserves the relationships we consider most important in the making of our buildings.
