Based in Bom­bay ( Mum­bai ) bT Square Peg has been cre­at­ing sus­tain­able designs in archi­tec­ture & inte­ri­ors since 1993.  The pri­mary inten­tion is to seam­lessly blend prac­ti­cal­ity & time­less aes­thet­ics with sus­tain­abil­ity — the resources on this planet are not limitless.

to seam­lessly blend prac­ti­cal­ity, aes­thet­ics & sustainability

Many design­ers care more about how the job will look in a mag­a­zine article—preferably the cover feature—than it does in real­ity. This often leads to homes and offices that look very dra­matic in pho­tographs but don’t nec­es­sar­ily work in prac­tice. Equally, there are clients who fall into the trap of want­ing to be a show­case for the lat­est rage. Both approaches are wrong in my opinion.

The prin­ci­ple here is to keep in touch with cur­rent trends and mate­ri­als with­out becom­ing a slave to tran­sient fash­ions. Ulti­mately the objec­tive is to cre­ate spaces that are—both phys­i­cally and aesthetically—appealing to the inhabitants.

Fea­tured Projects

Satya Health Resort

Van­jar­wadi, Kar­jat [1999–2001]

Nes­tled in the val­ley between the Matheran and Bhi­mashankar ranges on 50 acres (20 Hectares) of land, this is a health resort with a dif­fer­ence. It was designed to have the look and feel of a typ­i­cal Indian vil­lage and was built using local brick.

The lay­out makes max­i­mum usage of the vari­able ter­rain with clus­ters of ground-hugging cot­tages against a back­drop of the moun­tains. Some cot­tages cen­tre around a court­yard whereas oth­ers have pri­vate entrances via an open-air sitout. In the evenings, the delib­er­ately low light­ing allows you to really feel nature and unwind.
