Dhruva Samal

Principal

Mumbai-based architect Dhruva Samal’s passion towards design sees no boundaries. He loves what he does and is constantly working on ways to make a difference to his life and others through a creative approach. An explorer by heart, his search for new ideas and inspiration sees him travel the globe and spend time in the great outdoors. His uncanny ability to understand people contributes towards providing a unique product tailored to suit specific needs.

Conferred a Masters in Architecture from Virginia Tech, USA in 2005 and having graduated from Mumbai University, he has five years of professional experience in New York City and has also worked briefly with Nozer Wadia Associates upon his return to Mumbai.

When he’s not travelling the world on a song – you’ll find him at a music festival near you – Samal spends his time viewing the world through the lens of his camera, not only seeking the perfect shot, but also constantly looking at the big picture, which is how to best integrate what he sees and captures into his work.

He also believes in the link between research and design and is a visiting faculty at ISDI – Parsons, Mumbai. He has also been a visiting faculty at Rachana Sansad’s Academy of Architecture for a period of 5 years.
