ABHA NARAIN

“Design in context, conservation is the greenest of all architectural practices.”

DESIGN ETHOS

At the intersection of heritage and contemporary practice, Abha Narain Lambah has built a legacy rooted in sensitive storytelling. For over two decades, her firm has taken the long view—prioritising continuity over disruption, place-making over monumentality. Whether restoring a forgotten palace or designing an urban memorial, the focus remains on context, conservation and cultural continuity. Her projects often walk the tightrope between restraint and innovation, between what was and what could be—employing materials that age well, structures that respect the site, and ideas that resonate with local memory.
