OUR CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE FIRM BOASTS A TEAM OF TALENTED & SKILLED DESIGNERS.

history

In 1965, Shrinivas Kharche established the Madras regional office of M/s. Master Sathe & Kothari, a leading Indian architecture firm. Known for his unique yet simplistic design approach, he led projects across various sectors, including institutional, industrial, commercial, and residential buildings.

In 1979, the office evolved into Kharche & Associates, dedicated to his vision. While honoring tradition, the firm continues to innovate in planning and construction. It operates through three main divisions—architecture, engineering, and administration—comprising skilled designers, engineers, and consultants in various fields. Committed to individuality and teamwork, the firm prioritizes simplicity in design and construction, aiming for optimal solutions that benefit builders, users, and the environment.
