Who We are
Work Harder | Care Deeply | Trust Implicitly
Sometimes, things don’t get done, because there are so many thoughts and ideas, that we don’t really know where to begin. Competence and opportunity allow us to keep moving forward, but its a bit like taking the slow train with interchanges, rather than the express. There are arguments (very valid ones) to the pros and cons of both.
And the genuine and visceral realization, that the journey is the destination, took a long time and COVID-19, to appear!
This communication, therefore, is very partially about the technical competence and delivery models. We have been in business for 25 years, could simply not be possible, if we were delivering crummy stuff and didn’t really care.
25 years, millions of square feet, and 7 countries later, we chose three photographs, of non-buildings, to communicate who we are, what we do, and whether you would like to engage with us!
Who We Are
We Work Hard; and over time, our systems, processes and our internal financial systems, allow us to climb up steep mountains. We can work, re work, re-discuss, change, modify, upgrade the design of our buildings and services, till the pinnacle defined by you and us is achieved. And here is the critical difference; while we keep ourselves abreast of developments we don’t define our pinnacle ONLY by what someone else has done. We define it by what is appropriate.
We Dive Deep; and (annoyingly sometimes) have been known to debate the brief itself. Whether is the usage of materials, provision of spaces, tendering philosophies or size of the build, we try to understand the context, physical factors, economic conditions, business environment and cross cultural best practices, to finally define the design solution we will build.
We Are Trustworthy; the Capex of your build, is in all likelihood the highest or the second highest of your investments. It will define and shape your ability to conduct your business, you research, your teaching or your living for a substantial part of your life. Our decisions will follow and without exception ,be guided by what we consider the best for your project.
What We Offer
The quality of design and service we provide, is a given. No one will appreciate us, for the design or the service; that’s what we get paid for. However, how the entire client experience is curated. The way we interact with them, and made them feel during the process of delivery, is the key to our success and repeat business.

Architecture Design
It is what we love to do, and, a way of life for us.
Our Architecture is not limited or dependent upon the typology of project, and the convention surrounding it.
Engineering
We follow a process of integration of our building services, at the concept itself. Services are not to be “fitted” into the design; rather, services “serve” the building performance and the building accepts them gracefully and seamlessly.


Construction
It’s been a constant in our journey since 1996 …
It has taken on many forms, from “design-build” jobs, to project management and construction management.
Furniture Design | TimbreGrain
It’s a passion for being able to provide, for like minded people, furniture which is well designed, lovingly crafted and made available at an affordable price. Our joinery is traditional, and most pieces are put together without the use of any nails and screws.

Our Featured Projects
BIM
Allows our client to take informed control of the spatial and technological aspects early in the project.
Building Information Technolgy
Its the one thing, that sets us apart from a “Shaman”….
The use of this philosophy, allows our client to take informed control of the spatial and technological aspects early in the project.
Apart from the obvious benefits of cutting edge computation, and pre construction coordination the process takes way orthographic drawing reading ability, as a critically prerequisite of participating in the design process.
The client organisation and all other stake holders, can read 3D drawings navigate the models in their own time and space, understand design intent, adjacency and limitations and most importantly, “own” the proposal before it goes into construction.
The new web enabled management software also allow us to “be” on site, without the travel expense and exposure.
Changes are easy to track, and, the intent and result can converge, in reality.
Sustainability
Green to us, is not just the sight of lush leaves and forests
Sustainability
Green to us, is not just the sight of lush leaves and forests. It is the ability of a business idea, a community, a philosophy to grow and thrive in the physical environment we build.
Sustainability is the active participation of local economies, it is the understanding and implementation of underlying logic of local culture and the ability of a built environment to be frugal on non-renewable.
TCO
Making buildings “cost less”.. or “cheaper" is a mirage like concept in the industry.
Total Cost of Ownership
Making buildings “cost less”.. or “cheaper”… is a mirage like concept in the industry.
The almost un-bridgeable gap between the “concept” of an architect and the “budget” of a client. The complexity of design, coordinations and construction often takes up 100% or more , energy of the participants in the process.
Unfortunately, a completely incorrect idea of “cost” determines specification and design. At ANA, we have a robust system of identifying and highlighting the cost of the building over a life-cycle. The number of times a building needs to be painted, might be a good point of decision to go for a more “expensive” permanent finish… or, depending upon the life-cycle need, we may decide to use a lesser specification of the heat sink of the LED lamps.
Eventually, Total Cost of Ownership is what will find its way inevitably on the balance sheet of the client, and, at ANA , we feel its best to work with it.
Context Response
Never let the “soul” of a place be lost to the glossy inspiration in the magazine.
Context Response
Never let the “soul” of a place be lost to the glossy inspiration in the magazine. Internationalism has a reason; it is rooted in the manufacturing and production ability of a few countries and the ability to move large containers cheaply by ship.
While industrial, is great, it cannot let us become lazy in our approach to design. Places have souls; someone worked his life, to own a piece of land and build there. And it is not just our responsibility, but a privilege to know, understand, filter and implement the contextual response in our buildings; siting them right, orienting them correctly, spatial planning that respects people and a design language that is rooted in local.
