In jewellery retail, the façade is an important part of how a brand presents itself. It creates the first point of connection with the street while setting expectations for the experience inside.

At Anand Jewels, a patterned stone façade, and a dark stone frame around the glass entrance create a distinctive storefront. TBZ features clean geometric forms, contrasting finishes, and vertical accents for a contemporary expression. Mirwah combines glass, clean lines, and a restrained material palette for a sleek, modern storefront, while Khurana Jewels features intricate metalwork, decorative detailing, and warm lighting to create a more ornate, traditional entrance.

Though different in expression, all these projects reflect groupDCA’s approach to retail architecture: using materials, proportions, and details to create a distinct identity for each brand.

The result is a storefront that does more than mark an entrance. It communicates the brand’s character and shapes the customer’s first impression.

A closer look at the fabric selection process for a new residential project in Kathmandu, at our studio.

With a range of colours, textures, patterns and finishes laid out together, the selection process is about understanding how individual fabrics work alongside one another and within the larger material palette. Samples are compared, shortlisted and refined to find the right balance of texture, tone and character for the spaces.

It is a small but important part of the design process, where material choices begin to shape the project’s atmosphere.

For thirty years, our work has been shaped by curiosity, collaboration, and a belief that good design begins with asking the right questions.

As we continue to grow, we’re looking for people who share our passion for thoughtful architecture and meaningful design.

If you’re curious, committed, and ready to contribute to a multidisciplinary practice shaped by people, place, and purpose, we’d love to hear from you.

A practice evolves through the people who shape it.

Today, GroupDCA is a collective of architects, designers, thinkers and makers, bringing different questions and perspectives to the work.

We asked the team what they’ve learnt, what keeps them curious, and what it means to be part of the practice today.

Thirty years of ideas behind us. And many more taking shape.

Thirty years isn’t measured in square feet, cities, or scale. It’s measured in the people who walked through our doors, sat at the desks, and poured their craft into the work every single day.

We asked some of our former team members a few honest questions: what brought them here, what stayed the same, and what they carried with them when they moved on.

Their answers aren’t really about us. They’re a reminder of what three decades of showing up for something meaningful actually looks like.

To everyone who helped shape our story: thank you for leaving your mark.

Over the years, every project has asked something different of us; A different landscape. A different challenge. A different way of thinking. Each one has added another layer to our understanding of architecture, reminding us that no two places deserve the same response.

Looking back, we don’t see a collection of buildings. We see a body of work shaped by curiosity, collaboration, and the belief that meaningful architecture is measured not by how loudly it speaks, but by how deeply it belongs.

Because what we build is only part of the legacy. The relationships we nurture and the ideas we leave behind are what truly matter.

Some places earn their atmosphere slowly. Klap does it the moment you walk in.

A double-height entry, terrazzo underfoot, and light already working its way across every surface. The custom floor set the tone for everything that followed, its colour palette reflected back through mirrors placed along the ceiling, stretching the room and giving it a vintage warmth it wears effortlessly.

Seating shifts as you move through the space. Livelier downstairs, quieter up on the mezzanine, where the light settles differently and the room feels like it belongs to whoever is sitting in it.

By afternoon, natural light folds into the warm artificial glow and the two stop feeling separate. The terrazzo picks it up, the mirrors pass it along, and the whole interior hums at a frequency that is somehow both energising and easy.

Khan Market has that effect on places. This one just leans into it.

In India, designing for heat isn’t optional. It’s what every spatial decision eventually comes back to.

groupDCA’s work finds a place in The Hindu’s edit on homes built to beat the heat. From deep verandahs and shaded thresholds to carefully oriented openings and materials drawn from the site itself, the approach has always been the same — let the climate shape the architecture, not the other way around. When design is rooted in context and responsive to its conditions, sustainability follows naturally.

Thank you, , for keeping this conversation going.

A wall that began as an experiment, not a finished idea.

When locally available stone wasn’t an option for this Punjab residence, the design turned to earth and brick. But before construction began, the material had to prove itself. Sample walls were built, testing different mixes, textures and finishes until the right balance was achieved.

What stands today is a rammed earth wall made from the very soil excavated on site to create the home’s reservoir. Tapering from 600 mm at the ground floor to 300 mm above, it does more than define space. It regulates temperature, reflects an iterative design process, and carries the story of the site within its layers.
