+ Hitesh Katiyar Architecture & design studio is a Multi-disciplinary Architecture design studio based in Noida - New Delhi NCR. We wish to explore and cultivate new experiences in the modern Indian context of inhabiting and experiencing spaces, both within and outside. We believe in the non-inheritance of the physical culture that we have been ‘living’ in and the need to mould it through a collective dialogue based on our individual experiences. Each one of us being unique as individuals and constantly evolving; the studio wishes to seek those differences in its expression. The work henceforth is an outcome of a generative process fuelled by critical discussions looking for an expression which is contextually exhilarating and contemporary. It is not just about carving spaces but enhancing the tactile experience- understanding the most suited material in each case. Sometimes, the material itself paving a way towards to design. It takes shape by optimal collaboration between specialists, lighting designers, m.e.p. consultants and  sustainability experts;  where the main aim is to explore, innovate and incorporate the multiple facets of design, execution and experience.

​

We see our work as a team effort between us and everyone involved to achieve the shared vision.
