01 — Studio

We are a Pune practice working across scales — from a single bungalow to an institutional campus — with one method underneath: read the site and the client's life before drawing a single wall.

Dhiraj Bhumkar Architects is recognised as one of the leading architecture and interior design firms in Pune, delivering sustainable, timeless design across residential, commercial and institutional work. Over a decade of practice, we've built a studio that moves fluidly between luxury residences, urban masterplans, corporate offices and cultural buildings.

Every project runs through the same client-centric process — close collaboration, rigorous detailing, and a commitment to green-building principles — whether the brief is a private villa in Chakan or a training campus for a multinational client.

02 — Why DBA

Sustainable by default, not as an add-on.

We design to LEED and IGBC green-building norms as standard practice — not a premium add-on — because the buildings we make are meant to be lived and worked in for decades, not photographed once and forgotten.

01

Client-centric process from first site visit to final handover, with one team accountable throughout.

02

Green-certified design as a baseline — LEED and IGBC principles built into early massing decisions.

03

Multidisciplinary studio: architecture, interiors and design-build under a single roof.

04

A decade of built work across Maharashtra and Karnataka, from private homes to corporate campuses.
