At RSV Architects, we are contextualists who believe that architecture should be rooted in one’s environment and to a particular site. After walking through a particular site we always like to ask ourselves – What building does this site really want to see?

While we work with an international style, we draw inspiration from traditional concepts, craft as well as local material. We interpret the same with a contemporary design approach.

Our design is experiential and attempts to modulate space to create beautiful, peaceful or dramatic spaces. There is a certain romanticism to our work, a narrative quality that leads the viewer into varied experiences, and we enjoy creating work which references the old, has a hint of nostalgia while being wholly innovative.

Living in a tropical environment, our architecture is climate sensitive and the relationship between built form and the external environment constant.

We work in a hands-on way working closely to customize solutions with our collaborators. The process of making is sometimes as rewarding as the process of conceiving.

We look at design holistically often blurring the boundaries between the disciplines of architecture, interior design, landscape, furniture and lighting.
