Working on Architecture in Bandra
Bandra splits sharply between old low-rise buildings near the reclamation and sea-facing towers. The sea-facing stock takes salt-laden air continuously, which accelerates rebar corrosion and shortens the life of any external coating, we specify differently here than two kilometres inland. Heritage-precinct buildings in parts of Bandra West carry additional restrictions on external alterations.
We work plan-first. Plot survey and development control rules confirmed, then a floor plan developed with you over two or three rounds, then structural coordination, and only then the elevation in 3D. Drawings are produced to municipal submission standard where you need approval, and we coordinate with the structural consultant so that what is drawn is what can be built. For interior-only projects, the same discipline applies at a smaller scale.
Specification for Bandra projects
Many projects need drawings, not an architect
If you are renovating inside an existing flat and not touching structure or the facade, you do not need an architectural appointment. A good measured drawing set and an interior layout will do the job at a fraction of the cost. We will tell you at the first consultation which of the two situations you are in, and we are happy to take on the smaller scope.
How a Bandra project runs

Plot details, your brief, budget range and approval requirements, at no cost.
Site and rules check
Plot measured, setbacks, FSI and local development control rules confirmed in writing.
Floor plan development
Two to three rounds of layout, worked through with you until circulation and light are right.
Structural coordination
Column and beam positions agreed with the structural consultant against the frozen plan.

Front Elevation Design
An elevation is the outcome of a plan. Chosen before the plan, it becomes a facade propped onto a layout it does not suit.

A plan that has not been structurally coordinated will put a column somewhere you do not want one.
Read more →3D Elevation Design
A 3D view is a decision tool. It is worth the most before the drawings are frozen, not after.

Architectural fees follow drawing scope and approval load. We do not publish a rate card, because a number for a space nobody has measured becomes your problem on day four. What we can tell you is exactly what moves it.
The measured survey and the itemised quotation are free, so you get a real number for your Bandra property before you commit to anything.
