About us

Founded in 2013, HBA is an India-based design firm, with an intention to inculcate sustainable solutions in architectural designs to enhance the quality of life, wherever we work. In doing so we wish to embrace life through architecture; you dream and we help you create it, sustainably. With her corporate office at 197 Rajdanga Main Road, EC 101, Kolkata – 700107, West Bengal, India, HBA renders services in the field of architecture with registration under COA.

HBA has grown into a multidisciplinary organization with her expertise in providing architectural design service from concept design to construction drawings; from conceiving small accommodation facilities to transcending the codes of urban design in creating opportunity for urban regenerations.

Design Principles

Our design approach often re-connects architecture with nature, making optimum use of space, natural materials, lighting & landscape to reinvent and transform living environments
and urban spaces.

We believe that a good design is the physical expression of sound ideas, imagination and creativity. Rather than working from a predetermined approach, we strive to create
environments that are a thoughtful response to their program mission, physical setting and functional purpose. Creating Meaningful Spaces demand practicalities and concept of a
space to be inherently flexible in order to respond to changes.

The guiding principle of HBA is that each project reflects the spirit and personality of its owner.

Working with various organizations, from private clients to Corporate Gaints & NGOs, allows us to experiment and bring diversity to work we undertake. From master planning, to
architectural & interior projects, such as luxury villas, high end residential apartments or unique offices, as well as hospitality & institutional projects and several charitable works form
the varied topographies of our projects.

The firm strives to create design that inspires, approaching each project, regardless of size & scale, with an understanding that architecture has a unique power to influence lifestyle
and society.

Their forte is attention to details and customisation. Honesty to design, client satisfaction, and sustainability are the driving forces, along with the ability to constantly explore & evolve.
They are dedicated to unique design approaches adapted to each project, and achieving a balance between functionality & aesthetics, context, climate, material, cost & time-frame.

Team

A strong team of complementary professionals is essential in today’s complex planning, design and building environment.

For this reason, HBA is committed to the principle of multidisciplinary teamwork.

By assembling multiple disciplines within our organization, we provide our clients with a single point of responsibility, accountability, coordination and communication for all required works.

What our client's say

What our client's say

My wife and I hired HalfBrick Architects to redesign the kitchen of our home and to make it completely modern and user friendly. The team patiently collaborated with us to transform our requirements and wish list into an inspired and detailed specification. Their vision and creativity resulted in an exceptional design that surpassed our expectations. They worked closely with the contractor at site, resolved issues and ensured the plan was properly executed.

I’ve had the great pleasure of collaborating with HalfBrick Architects on various projects over the years. Asim, the driving force behind the firm has a unique way of balancing environmental stewardship, great design, and realistic budgets. The team never ceases to impress me with their ability to come up with ideas on sustainable design, weaving them together in beautiful, creative ways.The firms attention to detail doesn’t stop at design, they stay with the project through construction and add real value to the process. They made working together enjoyable and brought an intense committed work ethic to the team. I look forward to our next opportunity and highly recommend them to those who are looking for a fresh take on their projects. They will bring ideas to the table that have real meaning.

Mr. Naidu

Businessman

HalfBrick Architects designed our home with a modern as well as organised approach. They handled all the creative work on the project, as well as detailed renderings, service consultations, and construction supervision. HBA’s work was very creative and responded directly to our needs. They found ways to get energy efficiency and modern design details into a “buildable” and cost-conscious project. They are humble, hardworking, and consistent. I would choose to work with HBA again without hesitation.
