bT Square Peg has been creating architectural and interior design solutions since 1993 for a clientele that ranges from private individuals to large commercial organisations. The goal here is to blend practicality with timeless aesthetics while keeping sustainability in mind - the resources on this planet are not limitless.
Many people fall into the trap of wanting to be a showcase for the latest fashion. At this firm, however, the guiding principle is to keep in constant touch with current trends and materials without becoming slaves to fads that disappear overnight - leaving behind tired-looking designs.
Equally, many designers go about their job with one eye on a magazine article - preferably the cover picture. This often leads to homes and offices that look very dramatic in photographs but don't necessarily work too well in reality. bT Square Peg's philosophy calls for spaces that are comfortable for their inhabitants; both physically and visually.
On this site you will find some featured projects, a collection of free resources for fellow architects and people working in CAD/3D as well as a free book on Vastu Shastras - the ancient building codes of India - with explanations on their relevance (or sometimes the lack thereof) in today's world. You can read this book online or download it to your computer.
Training Centre for Handloom Weavers @ Maheshwar, MP
[1994-1996]
Built in the historical fort of Maheshwar - old capital of the Holkar kingdom. Using only locally available materials and labour, the cost of construction was brought down to a very economical Rs. 105 per square foot (Rs. 1130/m2).
Resort at Karjat @ Vanjarwadi, Karjat
[1999-2001]
Set on a 50 acre parcel of land about two hours from Bombay, this is a health resort with a difference. It was built at a relatively low cost (for a resort, that is) without any concrete framework.
