The Journey of Success
Three young architects from IIT Kharagpur in 1995 christened an architecture practice which specialized and excelled in developing individual family homes. Initially called Tevatia Chauhan & Sharma Architects, the practice rechristened as Design Forum International (DFI) in 2003 with a clear intention of fostering an egalitarian organizational ethos where distinctive architectural talent finds self-expression and can contribute in a democratic and collaborative work environment. The practice has since grown from strength to strength and is currently marching ahead with a vibrant team of over 100 professionals, each pursuing a distinctive value based architectural spirit. We execute each piece of work undertaken with a deep sense of optimism, excellence and integrity keeping in mind that each project is a legacy for our future generations. While we play the role of an agent of change, its efforts are rooted in the principles of responsiveness to local context and sustainable architecture. Our prime objective is to achieve excellence in design, perfectly in balance to both time and cost. Our team is committed to emphasize communication and design for the people and environment. Having won many accolades for our works, we have emerged as an institution which attracts great design minds, who love to thrive in a professionally charged environment focusing on every detail and exploring new design methodology for every project.
