KUMAR & SWAMY, Architects

A firm of architects started in 1970, it has gone from strength to strength.
Mrs. Sanchali Harsha and C.S.Harsha are the principal architects.
In the last 20 years the firm has focused on institutional architecture and has done extensive works in the field of school/ college, hospital and sports infrastructure design and development.
In the process we have won several design competitions and have executed several of the leading schools and colleges in south india.
Along with years of experience we bring with us the best practices across various types and categories of institutions…..
We believe that it is really important for a designer to understand the philosophy of the institution and to make the design reflect the same.
To understand the needs of a child and to create an atmosphere which will foster the development of the child in a way the educator believes relevant.
This has been our design philosophy over the years.
Over the years we have done various design developments in the field of school architecture.
We have refined the thought of multifunctional spaces whereby actual built up area comes down resulting in economy.
We have developed several safety features in our designs.
We understand the socio-politics of school children across various age groups and are able to arrange the movement and circulation to respect that.
We understand the requirements of the various boards including SSLC, CBSE, ICSE, IB and IGCSE.
We are able to develop economical and functional spaces to cater to any of these streams.
Over the last 20 years we have interacted with many educators and that has improved our outlook towards institutional design.
Using natural materials, simple methods of construction and designing safe environments for children is second nature to us.
