BUILT TO LAST

Integrating advanced technology and sustainable practices, Harkaran Singh Boparai is the architect to watch out for in 2025

Design is woven into 29-year-old Harkaran Singh Boparai's DNAnot by birthright, but by his own bold choice.

He's a gold-medallist in architecture from Guru Nanak Dev University. He started getting his hands dirty while still in school, determined to learn the ropes the real way.

An internship under the mentorship of Reza Kabul sharpened his skills even more. Soon after, in 2018, he co-founded Space 5, a multidisciplinary design studio that dabbled in architecture, interiors, and product design. But that was only a teaser of what was to come.

Eventually, he established his own studio, Harkaran Boparai Studio (HBS). In seven short years, Boparai's portfolio has danced between residential, commercial, and luxury projects. For him, each assignment is a chance to unleash his creativity without losing sight of function and aesthetic unity.
