Venkataramanan Associates

Venkataramanan Associates (VA), a multiple award winning firm, is currently one of the oldest and largest architectural practices in India. Headquartered out of Bangalore since 1970, the firm’s range of projects include residential and commercial complexes, IT Parks and buildings for science and technology. 

VA has worked with, and continues to work with, some of the largest builder groups in the country including the Belani Group, Prestige Group, Brigade Group, Puravankara and the GVK Group. It also counts among its clients, five of the Global Fortune 100 and ten of India's largest and most respected companies. 

Their team of over 190 professionals offer a mix of long years of experience coupled with the energy and dynamism of a young enterprise. In all the 450+ projects they have designed across the country, their priorities have always been to ensure an overriding commitment to creating value and excellence in design. Their intention is to realise more than a building; they aim to create a place, a destination. 

To achieve this, they encourage a development process that aligns every aspect of the project to the same end. Primarily, they believe that architecture is not just about design, but about merging architectural design, engineering and aesthetics, keeping in mind the realities of the environment. 

Life cycle design, energy conservation, recycling of resources, usage of locally available material, space management, all form an important part of any project that they handle. They follow a defined drawing and project program which enables them to reduce the time to market considerably. 

They have an active quality process in place with an ISO 9001 - 2000 quality certification. They are familiar with land issues in practically every part of the country and can ensure full compliance with both Indian and overseas statutory codes as required. 

They are a totally IT enabled environment with the ability to handle projects in multiple locations (currently 16 cities across the country) and coordinate with clients in multiple geographical locations and over multiple time zones.
