EMARA is a studio of young architects and Urban Design Professionals who value working together as a team. We understand, from experience, the options and challenges that architectural projects present, and how much they mean to our clients. We also appreciate the resolve needed to initiate building projects and the commitment necessary to implement them successfully.
We work with a close connection with the local context, which is visible in our project. We have been fortunate to work in the cold desert of Ladakh, and through our practice, are trying to come up with a landscape and architecture vocabulary for the region which is on the verge of ‘development’. We have conducted workshops, seminars and conferences in the region. Our project starts with a great amount of research around material, culture and built.
