Practice

K2 Architects is an architectural consultancy based in Nagpur, Maharashtra. The practice provides architectural, technical and engineering services, together with the work that surrounds them: development, project management, building services and installation.

Since 1999 it has delivered more than 450 projects in Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Gujarat and Odisha. The core of that work is institutional: schools, colleges, hospitals and hostels, alongside townships, bungalows and commercial buildings.

Twenty-five years of experience, in every field.

Approach

An institution is built once and used for generations. We start from how the building will be used, by whom, and in what climate, and let the plan follow. Unique ideas and global trends inform the work; the site, the budget and the programme decide it.

Projects of this scale need more than a single studio. K2 has fostered partnerships and consortiums with national organisations so that clients receive added value at every stage, from master plan to handover.

The plan follows the people who will use it.
