Ar. Sharukh Mistry, Bangalore

Sharukh Mistry is a founder partner of Mistry Architects and he is known not only for sensitive architectural creations but as much for a sensitive architectural practice of sharing and caring. For 3 decades Sharukh and his team have practiced “natural” architecture, constantly innovating to include every known sustainable means to strive towards an ever-lighter footprint. He is known for his integrity and inspirational leadership, Sharukh’s tireless endeavour towards wholistic architecture takes its inspiration from his keen observation of man’s interaction with nature. Known also for his talks, which he does a lot of – Sharukh likes to take his audience on a journey of creative exploration. And even though he makes a song and dance about the “potential” of green design, closer attention to Sharukh’s words reveal one simple belief – architecture with heart!! Despite running a diverse practice, ranging from tsunami rehabilitation projects and SOS villages to giant exhibition centers, the Mistry team’s interactions with their clients, the earth on the site, the project managers and contractors, the trees, and the laborer’s children make it unmistakably clear that Sharukh’s architecture definitely has a heart.
