Our Core Architectural Services

1. Residential Home Design & Custom House Plans

Whether you’re dreaming of a modest home, a spacious villa, or a modern cottage house, we create custom residential designs that blend aesthetics with practicality. Our residential architecture services include:

Floor Plan & Layout Design

We begin by understanding your lifestyle, family size, and daily routines. Our architects create functional floor plans that maximize space efficiency, ensure optimal natural light and ventilation, and reflect your personal style. From 2 bedroom apartments to sprawling farmhouses and row houses, we design homes that work for how you actually live.

Elevation & 3D Visualization

Before construction begins, you’ll see your home come to life through detailed 2D drawings and realistic 3D renderings. This visualization process helps you make informed decisions early, preventing costly changes during construction. You’ll see exterior designs, color schemes, landscaping, and how your home fits within your neighborhood.

Bungalow, Villa & Farmhouse Architecture

Pune’s demand for luxury bungalows, modern villas, and peaceful farmhouses is growing. Our team specializes in designing sophisticated residential properties that blend contemporary comfort with elegant aesthetics. We handle the unique challenges of farmhouse design from optimal site orientation to water harvesting integration ensuring your retreat is both beautiful and sustainable.

Vastu Compliant Layouts

Understanding that many of our clients value Vastu principles, we incorporate directional alignment, room placement optimization, and spatial harmony into every design. A north or east facing entrance, proper kitchen orientation, well placed master bedrooms these aren’t coincidences in our designs; they’re strategic choices based on Vastu Shastra combined with modern architectural science.

2. Site Visit & Site Analysis Services

A site visit architect is your on ground expert. Before we design a single line, we conduct comprehensive site analysis including:

• Soil testing and geotechnical assessment to determine foundation requirements
• Solar orientation analysis to maximize natural light and minimize heating/cooling needs
• Slope and drainage evaluation ensuring proper water management
• Tree and landscape assessment for environmental integration
• Neighborhood context evaluation ensuring your design complements surroundings
• Utility and access point mapping for efficient MEP planning

Many first time builders underestimate the importance of this phase. A proper site visit and analysis by licensed engineers can prevent foundation issues, unexpected regulatory complications, and costly design revisions. Our experienced architects have navigated countless Pune plots from the city center to suburban developments and rural areas understanding unique characteristics of each location.

3. Bank Loan Drawing & Financial Documentation

Planning to finance your construction through a home loan? Banks require specific documentation, and that’s where we step in. Our bank loan drawing services include:

Detailed Floor Plans with Dimensions

Banks need precise, dimensioned floor plans showing exact measurements, area calculations, and compliance with FSI (Floor Space Index) regulations. We prepare bank-approved drawings with all technical specifications clearly marked.

Area Statements & Calculations

We provide comprehensive area statements breaking down built up area, carpet area, open areas, and parking exactly as banks require. These calculations are certified and ready for loan processing.

Structural Plans & Stability Certificates

Working with our network of structural consultants and engineers, we prepare structural drawings and stability certificates that banks demand. These documents verify that your building design meets IS codes and safety standards.

Feasibility Study

Before you invest, banks want assurance. Our feasibility studies assess the viability of your project, budget realism, and timeline expectations giving lenders confidence in your project and speeding up loan approval.

Many clients tell us: “I didn’t realize how detailed bank drawings needed to be. I’m glad we got this right from the start.” Exactly. Getting it right the first time saves weeks of back-and-forth with your bank.

4. PMC Approval, Liaising & Building Permits
