It’s a firm that has come to be known for thinking big, with sustainability at the core of its projects. Or simply, putting SOUL into their work – Sustainability, Optimisation, Uniqueness and Liveability – principles in which all its design solutions are rooted in. Since its inception in 1996, Morphogenesis has come to be a firm whose records have got embellished with each successive year. Just a look at some of their better known projects –the ambitious Namami Gange Project, The British School, Delhi, Infosys campus, Nagpur, The Woodside, Kasauli, Amarnath Rock Cut temple redevelopment, India Glycols headquarters, Noida, not to mention the ambitious under construction Surat Diamond Bourse, which with a built-up area of 70 lakh square feet is set to be the world’s single largest office building.

Indeed, Morphogenesis is among the many entrepreneurial names that began in the post liberalisation era of the 1990s and has gone to carve a name for itself in the period since. With its work encompassing a range of typologies across architecture, interiors and landscape urbanism, it already has offices in Mumbai, Bengaluru and Delhi. Rooted in India, the firm is present in eight countries and expanding rapidly. Projects, recognition and accolades have poured in from clients and peers alike, including the Singapore Institute of Architects Getz Award for their vision and commitment in making a significant contribution in shaping the changing landscape of Asia, making it the first Indian firm to be awarded.
