DESK. architecture & urban design practice
des.k was founded by Architect Kunal Kelkar in November’ 12. In a short time, which began after years of professional exposure of the team, the practice has successfully garnered confidence of its clients from myriad sectors of construction industry. What makes us stand apart is our un-flinching conviction to create ‘responsible architecture’ which respects the science of buildings while not letting go of the art of the spaces.
FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION FOLLOWS FORM FOLLOWS…We understand design development as a continuing act of negotiation between the brief, the functions, the constraints, the budget, the vision and the time of course. We insist on and facilitate rigorous involvement of our clients in the initial phase of design development when the brief is developed, the functionns are understood, budget rationalised, vision is inspired and time is framed. This is followed by an agressive design development stage when the ideas are crystalised in form of lines and diagrams, while simultaneously working with our co-consultants to continuously rationalise the design.
