VK:a Publishes UNBUILT.01

Unrealised Explorations by VK:a architecture

A large number of projects of an architectural firm often remain unbuilt due to various reasons. While the architectural discourse is assessed through what is built, unbuilt explorations are not merely forgotten endeavours. They are sources of inspiration that shape an architect’s design ideas, philosophy and professional trajectory. At VK:a architecture, we approach every project by asking questions. Guided by these questions, the projects attempt to demonstrate various paths to arrive at an answer – sometimes, more questions. Unbuilt.01 is the first of its series, published on the occasion of the 50th year of foundation of VK:a, containing some of these design queries and unrealized concepts.

VK:a architecture has been continuously working with TCG Real Estate since 2012, on multiple projects in Pune. We are very happy with the excellent service they provide, especially with added advantage of all allied services under one roof. As an approach to how they deal with us, we have found them both professional and prompt. We feel this is possible by VK:a being completely updated on all latest rules and regulations, which allows them to provide us great guidance and confident support. Ultimately, as a leading architectural design consultancy, the quality of their designs would be the measure of positive feedback that we aspire to get from our customers.

VK:a architecture has my full endorsement as an outstanding architecture firm. Our company has been involved in hundreds of construction projects over the past 60 years and we have worked with many highly regarded architects.

I have had the pleasure of working with Hrishikesh Kulkarni and his team on 5 projects over the past 4 years. In all instances, Hrishikesh and his team have been incredibly responsive when it comes to providing detailed drawings and information to support the project.

At each turn of the construction process their team has an informed answer to our technical questions, which allows the project to drive forward without delay. Access to this type of information is instrumental in the success of a project from a builder’s perspective. VK:a architecture has the depth of knowledge and experience to lead a project from pre-construction planning thru to completion like very few others. From a builder’s perspective, our success can often rely on the architect’s support & collaborative involvement.

The VK:a architecture team is incredibly responsive and provides us with timely answers and architectural details as issues come up in the field. Under Hrishikesh’s lead, everyone is motivated to put their best effort forward for the common goal of making the project a success. India does not suffer from a shortage of architects, and in a crowded field, only a small group of firms stand out in my opinion. I consider VK:a architecture to be one of the very best.

The above word is quite frequently used in growing businesses, and more particularity in businesses where the baton is being handed over from the founders to the next generation. This exactly was being done in two organisations in the year 2010 – Siddhivinayak Groups and VK:a architecture.

On a business tour, is where I meet this totally dedicated and always laughing architect worked in London, named Hrishikesh Kulkarni.

For a company like mine, which is in business for the last 30 years, working with only selected few architects, it was a difficult task to give a project to someone new, even though Arch. Vishwas Kulkarni comes with a lot of vishwas, and was already a name to reckon with in the city of Pune. This is where I again say that Transition played a key role. Where I wanted to try younger architects with like-minded attitude and fresh ideas; and this is where Hrishikesh and me hit off from the word go.

It’s been a fabulous journey with him so far on the personal and the professional front. The team that he has built, and the professionalism that they bring to the table, has by far raised the bar of Architecture in the city.

With VK:a, one thing clear in their approach is that, it is not just design that matters in a project but that a lot of small details are needed. To name a few, VK:a starts planning a project by keeping the ultimate end-user in mind. The needs of these users are always kept on high priority.

Every team member of the firm demonstrates the same commitment to the projects they handle. I wish them another fabulous 50 years of changing the landscape of every city they are working in .

Jai Ganesh!
