Saransh is an architecture and design studio based in Ahmedabad, India. The studio was founded in 1994 by Manish and Malini Doshi – architects, and alumni of CEPT University. With the addition of Kaveesha Shah, Malay Doshi and Mansi Mistry we have now stepped into the next phase of our practice – expanding, diversifying and streamlining in tune with the sensibilities of a rapidly expanding clientele.
Studio Saransh currently employs a team of 30 people, in addition to long-standing collaborative relationships with a number of consultants and agencies from allied fields.
Saransh is the Hindi term for ‘summary’. At Studio Saransh, we believe that good design follows strong concepts, and we evolve these concepts as cohesive responses to multiple complex factors which affect a design project. While we do a wide range of projects, we believe in an inherent simplicity in design, which is visible across our portfolio. Our projects have a minimal sense to them but are also bold in their own way as we believe in using materials true to their identity.
Our design approach has two layers to it, understanding the requirements of the clients and devising a programme that addresses them and then conceptualising in line with those requirements. As a result, our design vocabulary is diverse, contextual and driven by client’s needs with each of our works maintaining a distinct identity.
