ABOUT US SpaceMatters is an integrated design practise with architecture, interior, urban design and habitat research capabilities based out of New Delhi. Founded in 2005 by architects Amritha Ballal, Moulshri Joshi and Suditya Sinha, the award winning practice has been consistently recognised as one of the leading design firms in India. Our projects span a variety of scales and contexts. These range from public institutional projects such as the Bhopal Gas Tragedy Memorial and revitalization for the post-disaster industrial complex in Bhopal, urban planning projects including one of the first Integrated Development Plans (IDP) for urban villages in Dwarka, New Delhi to designing commercial and residential spaces for leading corporates such as Titan, DLF Retail and Jindal Steel. Habitat Research, an interdisciplinary study of environmental, socio-economic, technical and cultural dimensions of the built environment is an integral aspect of SpaceMatters practice and advocacy. SpaceMatters has established research collaborations with the School of Planning and Architecture, Research Council of Norway, NTNU, Norway, University of Gothenburg, Sweden and the University of Tokyo amongst others. At SpaceMatters the design process is challenging and rewarding and the pleasure we derive from it finds evidence in our work.
