"We create spaces for your wants and also for your needs...."
Creating spaces that have a deep sense of purpose, culture and surrounding have won us many accolades over the years. EarthenHive Architects was awarded “The Most Sustainable Interior Design - Residential”, 2017, at National level, and “Best Sustainable Architecture” at Singapore. Our design for a world class campus for Indian Institute of Crop Processing Technology was highly appreciated by the Indian Ministry. We were part of the elite team which was instrumental in creating one of India’s 1st Platinum rated Green buildings. It was greatly admired and felicitated by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam (then Honorable President) with this prestigious award from UGBC (US Green Building Council). Restoration and transformation of old buildings, giving them a new lease on life is one of the many arrows in our quiver.
