The firm
Ankra Architects, a leading Architecture and Interior design firm, based in Delhi, was established by Anuj & Kratika in 2017, with a view to explore design directions and taking design process as a journey of discovery.
We are a Design firm engaged in the practice of expanding the boundaries of design and building; with a cross-disciplinary approach resulting in a unique level of refinement to residential work and creating commercial spaces imbued with warmth and spirit. The firm creates a versatile body of work ranging from Architecture and Interiors of residences and corporate offices to retail and hospitality spaces. We design to suit our clients’ tastes, requirements, lifestyle and create living spaces that are both pragmatic and beautiful.
Over the years, the principal architects have attracted like-minded creative people to the firm and this has resulted in a design team that share similar design beliefs and has become an integral part of Ankra Architects.
Design philosophy
For us, designing is a spiritual journey. Therefore, our designs are founded in simplicity and clarity. While we strive towards compelling and dynamic spaces, we do so by combining clarity with quiet and thoughtful innovation; we endeavor to achieve the delicate balance of order and invention followed by integrity in work. We believe that any space should be a reflection of its occupant's lifestyle. Because of this belief we are dedicated towards making spaces that not only look good, but are practical; which is why we place a lot of stress on functionality and context. One of our key strengths is our meticulous attention to the execution of our designs so that our clients are assured of the highest quality.
Principal Architects
Upon completing their graduation and post-graduation they immediately began garnering experience and expertise by working consistently as Senior Designers under well-established Architectural firms based in Delhi. They individually worked on several residential, commercial and retail projects, few of which went on to be published.
They both came together to form Ankra Architects: their creative workhouse, in April 2017, which is steadily emerging as one of the leading and most sought after Architectural & Interior Design firms in the city.
For Anuj, design is a collaborative process that includes a cross-section of disciplines; an emotional journey undertaken along with a client; and a universal entity.
For Kratika, design is a passion and all of it comes from a process, a conceptual mood board followed by detailing and experimentation.
