Studio Saransh

Saransh is an architectural partnership based in Ahmedabad, India, operating in the fields of architecture, planning, and interior design. The studio was founded in 1994 by Manish and Malini Doshi – architects, and alumni of CEPT University. Studio Saransh currently employs a team of 20 people, in addition to long-standing collaborative relationships with several 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 concepts evolve as cohesive responses to multiple factors. Our design approach has two layers to it: firstly, understanding the requirements of the clients and devising a programme that addresses them; and secondly, conceptualizing and detailing in line with those requirements. As a result, our design vocabulary is diverse, contextual, and driven by the client’s needs with each of our works maintaining a distinct identity despite the overlap in typology. Studio Saransh especially focuses on economic and material sustainability and optimizing available resources to stay true to the original design intent.
