We are a full service architecture firm with a portfolio spanning numerous typologies and continents. We pursue excellence in design from the drawing board to the last brick set in place.
Urban Design
Our urban design endeavors are aimed at fundamentally restoring the value of neighborhoods impacting changes in social, educational, economic and public safety parameters through the medium of design.
Interior Design
Our firm’s work in interiors is driven by a desire to achieve both functionality and clean, timeless design. We seek to create environments that provide warmth and a sense of inspiration to those who experience the space.
We are committed in our quest for excellence
Who we are:
CSA Partners comprises of a diverse group of talented individuals united in our commitment to produce design solutions of significant value, while comprehensively addressing the needs of our clients. Our practice has an integral system of constructive self-criticism that encourages the pursuit of individual and collective creativity, promoting excellence at every step.
Consistency, innovation, reliability and responsiveness are qualities we honor and reinforce within our organization. They are important and discussed.
We have offices in Chicago and Mumbai but are virtually and physically present wherever our projects’ needs take us.
What we do well:
Design & Detail, Deliver. That’s it. But it’s a lot.
Design & Detail: We avoid historical replication and do not work in any singular style. Rather, we strive to achieve client goals with creative, yet timeless design. We are driven by metaphor, and the appropriate use of design details and material. We strive to provide architecture that is significant in concept yet sensitive to historical and existing cultural context. Our clients deserve work that is beautifully crafted and elevates those who will live, work or worship in the new space.
Deliver: We are praised for our tenacious project management and marshaling a project through to completion. True, we obsess in our attention to detail, but that attention to detail, whether working to actually fabricate construction elements or partnering closely with technical teams to make new technologies work, is key to how we ensure project success.
Why people believe in us:
We have built our firm on referrals from our highly satisfied clients.
They have not only seen our strength of design but have experienced our determination and rigor in bringing our projects through the development pipeline. They have experienced our creativity and technical skills in fabricating the very architectural elements that make their design unique and inspiring.
Having worked with us, our clients have grown to see us as an extension of their firms; we are the one on their team that translates the objectives into concrete plans and then into new, beautiful structures, thoughtfully designed and built to stand the test of time.
A number of our projects have received national or international honors validating our commitment to excellence
We are an inspired team of architects, who pursue our dreams to the fullest
I seek innovative answers to complex questions; yet ensuring that the simplest essence is distilled from them. I get great joy in believing “there is always a better approach or response out there”.
I am integrally involved, as well as lead projects from schematic design through construction administration monitoring quality at each step. My other focus is the growth of the practice.
