ABOUT THE PRACTICE & ATELIER

Crafting architectural monuments that honor their landscape and stand the test of time.

FOUNDED: 2014

LOCATION: UDAIPUR, RAJASTHAN

PRACTICE: 12 YEARS

TYPOLOGIES: RESIDENTIAL, HOSPITALITY, INTERIORS

SRDC Architecture Studio is an award-winning design collective based in Udaipur, India. Our practice operates at the intersection of local craft traditions, environmental responsiveness, and contemporary structural clarity.

Whether designing a 6,400 sq ft cantilevered farmhouse nestled among native trees, a 13-storey biophilic residential tower, or an intimate courtyard home on the slopes of Tiger Hill, we consider each project an enduring dialogue between light, material honesty, and human life.

✦ OUR ARCHITECTURAL MANIFESTO

“We believe architecture should belong indelibly to its place.”

“Every line we draft emerges from climatic intelligence, vernacular materiality, and the living habits of the people who inhabit our spaces.”

“From cantilevered stone farmhouses in the Aravallis to multi-storey biophilic towers, we craft buildings that elevate everyday living into an art form.”

✦ THE PROCESS

How We Translate Vision into Structure

01

Terrain & Climate Mapping

We analyze topographical contours, solar angles, prevailing breezes, and native vegetation before drafting a single wall.

02

Spatial Morphology

Formulating courtyards, cantilevers, and lightwells that foster community connection and natural thermal insulation.

03

Material Curation

Pairing local basalt stones, brushed bronze, and crafted joinery for tactile surfaces that age gracefully.

04

Execution & Craft

Rigorous site supervision with master masons and craftspeople to ensure construction fidelity to the millimeter.

We take on a limited number of residential and commercial commissions each year to ensure uncompromising focus.
