We provide design services in architecture, landscape design and interior design.Our design approach is always focused on the basic questions of scale, proportions, character, spaciousness, daylight, ventilation and the climatic comfort in the built environment. These aspects inform our conceptual positions and guide our design process. The design process is all about creating synchronisation between innovation; humane spaces and ambitious requirements.At UA Lab we hold a keen interest in design of community spaces. We try to understand people, their ways of living and their expectations. We use them as opportunities for place making.We hold equal strength in the detail design. Our choice of different materials is rooted in the basic understanding of "how" these materials come together. Details are meticulously designed guided by the qualities and character of the material. Our design work has been recognized and published in various National and International design websites and magazines. In 2017, UA Lab has been awarded IIID Design Excellence Award at the Zonal level. In 2019, our design work has also been shortlisted at WADe Asia awards.
