Source Architecture

source is a bangalore-based architectural firm run by sneha ostawal & manu gautham. we started source in late 2009, and believe in a fresh approach to architecture and interior design, doing away with clichés and tackling each challenge from first principles. our approach we understand that design is a resultant of economics, socio-cultural influences, technology, context & human subjectivity, and believe that a successfully realised product is achieved by the conscious factoring of these forces. at source the design process is as important as the final product – cause and effect are of equal importance. a carefully managed process is an assurance of an outcome that is sensitive, responsive, flexible, natural and efficient. why “source”? “source” is an anti-signature: it is an attempt to go beyond the constricted individual realm, moving towards open, intelligent, nurtured collaboration.
