“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better”
- Albert Einstein
Studio Arth was founded in 2018 as a small team of passionate and committed designers to recreate the serenity of the natural environment and integrate nature into your everyday urban life through the medium of design.
The ‘arth’ or ethos of the studio is to extend the realm of design and integrate the ecological systemic way of the ever-evolving and resilient natural world with our practice.
As disciples of the philosophy “Design with Purpose” we firmly believe that Landscape Architects are equipped to act as proactive agents of transformation that use design as a tool for space making, creating environmental and social awareness; and above all make the future world better than the present. Studio Arth is an advocate for local building practices and the use of native planting palettes. We believe there is an inherent need to establish a novel vocabulary within the design realm that can revitalize the local flora, fauna, and indigenous practices.
Our practice is also exploring the integration of parametric technology with form and function while seeking a design with a greater purpose.
