SpaceMatters

SpaceMatters was established in 2005 in New Delhi by Amritha Ballal, Moulshri Joshi and Suditya Sinha – friends, collaborators and alumnus of School of Planning & Architecture. At that time and now over a decade and a half into practice, SpaceMatters remains one of the few first-generation, women-led practices in the country.​

​For us ‘SpaceMatters’ is both a commitment and a critique. We create space anew to affect change while analysing change through a spatial lens. This is the reason our practice combines built and ‘unbuilt’ work, moving away deliberately from patenting a style. Our work is highly textured and spans across scales, contexts and media.

We are a team of architects, engineers, designers, visualizers and project managers with a wide range of interests and experience working across sectors throughout the country. Our practice is inherently multi-disciplinary and symbiotic – we are aligned with the best minds in architecture and allied fields, having fruitfully collaborated with artists, scenographers, writers, graphic designers, urban and transport planners, museum designers as well as habitat researchers on various projects. The diverse portfolios of our core team and associates enable us to put together resources that best address the unique demands of each project. The team is led by the founding partners—Amritha, Suditya and Moulshri.

Our clients include leading private and public sector enterprises, retail chains, hospitality companies, educational institutions, IT companies and real-estate developers. SpaceMatters has also collaborated with firms, NGOs, research institutions, universities, public as well as private sector organisations on action – research projects on various aspects of the built environment.
