Approach

S+A operations are based on few simple core values we internally call our principles of "Realism".

 

1. Usability

Serving all the uses required by the client by detailed analysis of data and requirements. Artistic inspirations and concern of forms are not given so much importance as to limit to rational thinking. Our works concentrate more on precision, functionality and sustainability than on fashionable values.

 

2. Feasibility

Detailed and throughout control of the financial aspects and rational employment of construction techniques and materials to ensure project feasibility at all time. This very much relies on our resolute integrity and selfless commitment to our clients and projects.

 

3. Sustainability

Environmentally responsible approach at each step of the design and construction process. More generally, we believe our responsibility includes a duty to environment, society, culture and people at large.

Such approach can only produce singular forms at each time. Each of our projects is a unique, efficient and adequate response to all requirements and parameters.

At Santhaya & Associates, we are particularly proud not having any specific "style", but a creative user-orientated approach towards rational, adequate and flexible solutions. Our buildings are contemporary, straightforward, simple and honest. This is how they absorb the trends and the always-changing usages. This is how they endure the test of time.
