Aakruti Architects

Aakruti is a leading architectural and interior design studio based in Ahmedabad, with over 40 years of experience in architecture and interior design. Started in 1980 by Dilip Patel, an alumnus of School of Architecture (CEPT University, Ahmedabad), their design approach has been that of providing simple, straightforward and responsive solutions to the programmatic challenges. The social, cultural, climatic, economic and functional parameters are the major guides that have shaped Aakruti’s aesthetic responses over the years. Dilip is now joined by his son, Toyam and daughter, Tulna, both interior architects. The visual vocabulary, thus arising, is a collaborative exploration of traditional and vernacular knowledge with contemporary design innovations. Their professional repertoire has diversified from architectural solutions to interior design, exhibition design, furniture design and institutional design management, to name a few, over a period of few years. Since 2009, Aakruti has also been involved in making of turn-key projects with an associate company, Saraa. Saraa has dealt with varied scales of ‘design and build’ or just ‘build’ challenges for corporate and individual clients across the country.
