RENASCENT'S FORMULA FOR HUMAN CENTRIC ARCHITECTURE

November 2025

|

Architecture + Design

Bakul Chandra's design mentorship and contextual wisdom, Dushyant Kumar's executional edge, Parul Agarwal's healthcare and institutional design expertise, and Varun Agarwal's innovative waste-free construction solutions converge in a firm that's designed over 60 million sq ft of progress. This is Renascent Consultants. With a philosophy that dictates “architecture should do more than exist; it should elevate”, they've created the blueprint for a new kind of architectural practice: one where patient-centric healthcare, sustainability, and design excellence aren't aspirations but non-negotiables

RENASCENT'S FORMULA FOR HUMAN CENTRIC ARCHITECTURE

This narrative of Renascent Consultants begins with two imagined realities, both rooted in everyday life, yet a stark contrast differentiates them. All of us, at some point in our lives, have been to an institute or a college campus.

And sometimes fortunate but usually under unfortunate circumstances, we have found ourselves pacing up and down in a hospital corridor. For the majority of people in India, healthcare facilities often end up inducing anxiety rather than extending comfort, and some institutional spaces have blatantly given precedence to efficiency over inclusivity. Thus, there exists a critical need for architects who understand one fundamental truth: buildings are not merely structures made of bricks, stones and cement—they are ecosystems for healing, learning, and living. In today’s modern age, the role of design in healthcare and institutional ecosystems has surpassed visual appeal and entered the realm of therapeutic intervention.

There is concrete research that reveals the role of biophilic design in reducing hospitalisation time, lowering patient mortality rates, decreasing pain levels, and mitigating stress for both patients and healthcare providers. When architecture integrates natural light, healing colour palettes, unobstructed spatial flow, and connections to nature, it becomes a catalyst in speedy recovery.

imageThis is the philosophy that Renascent Consultants personifies, and precisely why their work matters to our future. A collective consisting of four visionaries—Bakul Chandra, Varun Agarwal, Dushyant Kumar, and Parul Agarwal—Renascent Consultants have coined a new rulebook in Indian architecture: spaces designed with purpose and built with sustainability are meant to alter how patients heal, students learn, and communities thrive.
