We are a forward-thinking architecture and urbanism practice based in New Delhi, specializing in adaptive reuse and heritage-led design across South Asia. We believe in designing with respect for history and a clear eye on the future — creating spaces that are both rooted in culture and ready for today’s challenges. Our approach is collaborative, detail-driven, and driven by a commitment to lasting, meaningful impact.

INNOVATIVE DESIGN TO CONNECT THE PAST AND THE FUTURE

Our work is rooted in respect for history and driven by a clear vision for the future. We believe that thoughtful design can bridge past and present, creating spaces that are practical, meaningful, and built to last. We believe that heritage is not a constraint but an opportunity — a foundation to inspire innovation while honoring cultural and architectural legacy. Each project is a careful balance of preservation and reinvention, shaped by collaboration with communities, clients, and stakeholders. Our process is grounded in listening, research, and attention to detail, ensuring every intervention feels authentic and relevant. At Aishwarya Tipnis Architects, we focus on creating spaces that do more than endure — they connect, inspire, and enrich the lives of those who experience them. Through careful stewardship of the past, we design for today’s needs and tomorrow’s possibilities.

SPA Delhi Students Explore Adaptive Reuse in Hands-On Urban Policy Workshop

"Working with the old to collaboratively deliver what is needed to remain relevant and support the future, is what Aishwarya has done time and again in her work with schools like The Doon School and Woodstock School, as well as Unison World School. This is reflected not only in the UNESCO awards she has earned, but in the improvement of student learning and wellbeing that the schools can measure. Their work is a reflection of Architecture meets cultural leadership and community activism."

Matthew Raggett- International Educator & Former Headmaster The Doon School, Dehradun

"As Woodstock School’s heritage architect, Aishwarya Tipnis Architects have done a fabulous job of honoring both our school’s past and the aesthetics of our structures while moving us into the future. Aishwarya’s renovations have resulted in high functioning, culturally relevant, and simply beautiful facilities that cohabitate perfectly with our Himalayan setting. We could not be more pleased with the results."
