Studio Mumbai Architects have managed to integrate local knowledge and skills successfully into the design process, not as purely intellectual rhetoric but as a way of life. This locally sensitive attitude is usually associated with scarcity of means, only considered admissible in a low-cost, humanitarian context. Demolishing this assumption, Studio Mumbai uses this same approach and makes no distinction between building houses for wealthy clients or a certain elite.
