Led by partners Shimul Javeri Kadri, Vaishali Shankar, Sarika Shetty and Roshni Kshirsagar, SJK Architects strives to create a collaborative practice crafting built environments that tread lightly on the planet while also being conscious of the community, culture, context and crafts. The nature of the practice has been to use the sun and the wind to our advantage to craft environments that are ecologically sound and naturally beautiful. They have worked across India in the areas of education, hospitality, corporate offices and cultural buildings, developing unique identities based on the historical legacy of the area as well as the climatic situation. This translates to buildings that sit naturally in their environments rather than mechanized boxes that alienate people and their culture.
