Mumbai · Navi Mumbai

Architects and interior designers in Navi Mumbai.

A planned city of nodes, plots and row houses, with room for homes designed from the ground up. We work across Vashi, Nerul, Belapur, Kharghar, Seawoods and Panvel.

Designing for Navi Mumbai

Navi Mumbai was planned as a new city, built in nodes such as Vashi, Nerul, Belapur and Kharghar, each with its own residential sectors, open spaces and markets. Unlike much of Mumbai, it still has independent plots and row houses where families can build homes from scratch.

That makes it one of the best places in the region to design a house properly, with orientation, shade, cross ventilation and a garden planned together from the first sketch. We also design interiors for apartments across the nodes and for the many new developments coming up with the new airport.

Land in Navi Mumbai is largely developed by CIDCO, and building permissions come from either the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation or CIDCO depending on the area. We check which applies to your plot during feasibility.

Process

Clear steps, no surprises.

Each stage ends with clear decisions, drawings and costs agreed with you before we move on.

01

Listen

We begin with conversations, not drawings. How you live or work, what you love about the places you know, what the budget and timeline really are.

02

Read the site

Sun paths, prevailing winds, views, neighbours, soil and regulations. The site sets the first rules of the design.

03

Concept

Sketches, models and early studies that test a few clear ideas. We choose one direction together before going further.

04

Design development

Plans, sections, materials and details refined with structural and services consultants, with cost checked at every stage.

05

Drawings & approvals

Complete construction drawings, specifications and the documentation needed for statutory approvals.

06

On site

Regular site visits, mock-ups and close work with contractors and craftspeople until the last detail is in place.

Questions about Navi Mumbai

Who approves building plans in Navi Mumbai?
Depending on the area, either the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation or CIDCO. We confirm which applies to your plot early in the project.
Can you design a new house on our plot?
Yes. We start with a site visit and a study of the plot's rules, orientation and surroundings, then develop the design with you.
How are fees structured?
Fees depend on the scope, scale and complexity of the work. They are usually either a percentage of construction cost or a fixed fee per stage. We agree this in writing before design work begins.
What should I bring to the first meeting?
Anything you have: a site plan or address, photographs, a rough brief, images you like and an idea of budget and timeline. None of it needs to be complete.
