Studio Mumbai

Founded by Bijoy Jain, Studio Mumbai is a human infrastructure of skilled craftsmen and architects who design and build the work directly... projects are developed through careful consideration of place and a practice that draws from traditional skills, local building techniques, materials, and an ingenuity arising from limited resources. The essence of the work lies in the relationship between land and architecture, it requires coming to terms with the presence of the environment through the succession of seasons.
