A New Blueprint For Sustainable Spaces

Meena Murthy Kakkar and Vishal Kakkar met as students at the School of Planning and Architecture (SPA), Delhi. Their shared passion for design and building spaces led to a lifelong association—of being partners in design and beyond. Together, they helm Envisage, a Gurugram-based architecture and interiors practice. Both Meena and Vishal are drawn to Indian architecture, are passionate about traditional crafts, and are committed to a sustainable approach to architecture. “Sustainability is not just about being environmentally sustainable. It must be financially and socially sustainable as well,” says Meena. This philosophy determines their approach to all their projects—residential, commercial or institutional, whether it’s the Saraswati Global School, where they generated a distinct design narrative in concrete and fly ash while creating a holistic experience for the students, or the Anubhuti residence that exudes a specific India Modern identity, or the Girl’s Hostel at Mann School, which stands out for its empathetic design approach.
