SJK Architects

SJK Architects is an architecture, interior design and masterplanning practice founded in 1990 and led by Partners Shimul Javeri Kadri, Vaishali Mangalvedhekar, Sarika Shetty and Roshni Kshirsagar. They design spaces for a rapidly urbanising India, meticulously crafted from a study of climate, culture, history, and technology – each unique to the place and its people. A Mumbai-based collective of 30+ built environment professionals, they work with clients and collaborators all across the country. SJK Architects works all over India, in both rural and urban contexts, in small towns as well as metros. Their portfolio cuts across scales and typologies, including residential, retail, hotels and resorts, museums and galleries, industrial and healthcare, amongst others. SJK Architects' projects have accrued considerable Indian and international acclaim, receiving many distinctions such as the World Architecture Festival Prize (Singapore) in 2012, the Futurarc Green Leadership Award (Singapore) in 2012, the Prix Versailles Award (France) for both Architecture & Interiors in 2016, The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture & Design (USA) in 2016, and nine awards from the Indian Institute of Architects as well as Indian Institute of Interior Designers. The practice's work has been featured in many eminent international publications including Domus, Dezeen and the Future Arc Magazine. ​
