ABOUT tHE gRID  Architects – Research & design studio

     Founded in 2002, tHE gRID Architects is a Research & design studio based in Ahmedabad, India, founded by Bhadri Suthar and Snehal Suthar. Their practice reflects a deep sensitivity to human-nature relationships, aligned by ecological awareness and contextual relevance. They actively contribute to academia as visiting faculty and jury members at design institutions. Spanning architecture, interiors, landscape, and furniture, their approach draws from vernacular knowledge while engaging with contemporary practice. The studio also pursues experimental projects, Research, and Design explorations to contribute to meaningful trajectories in architecture and inspire future generations. The future of architecture lies in empathy, humanity, and a deep connection between people, nature, and the built environment. We don’t need star architects; we need architects who design selflessly, focusing on purpose, tradition, and context. Truly great architecture isn’t about appearances but about its relationships—with its surroundings, society, and nature.

            DESIGN TEAM APPROACH

tHE gRID Architects approach design as a layered process, embracing a philosophy of coexistence and collaboration, where tradition and innovation coalesce. Their designs prioritize environmental responsibility, using local materials and passive strategies to create climate-responsive buildings that sustain themselves. By integrating futuristic Research with Traditional wisdom, they address global challenges through solutions rooted in sustainability, cultural context, and social responsibility. In an era of urbanization, they advocate a human-centered approach that values humility and site awareness allowing environment, history, and culture to shape architecture that is inclusive and enduring.
