Philosophy
When it comes to design philosophy, “we at Navkar strongly believe that architecture is not a
simple manipulation of forms, but is about the construction of space and place. Light plays a
decisive role in our design. To us, authentic material, pure geometry, and nature are the
essentials that make architecture. Words like Beauty, Inspiration, Joy, as well as the concept
of serenity, silence, solitude all this, have nestled in our soul and though we are fully aware
that we have not done them complete justice in our work, they have never ceased to be our
guiding lights.” We have worked and
hope to continue to work inspired by the faith that the aesthetic truth of these ideas will in
some measure contribute toward dignifying human existence.
