Founded in 2002, Thirdspace Architecture Studio emerges as a critical and reflective voice within the Indian architectural landscape — one that deftly traverses a multitude of scales, typologies, and geographies. With dual bases in Belagavi, a town rooted in layered histories, and Pune, a thriving urban centre, the studio inherently embodies the juxtaposition of India’s rural-urban spectrum within its very structure. This unique positioning informs its worldview and practice, resulting in a design ethos that is both globally conversant and intimately local. Thirdspace engages architecture as a fluid and experimental practice — anchored in context, yet unafraid to probe the boundaries of form, material, and meaning. Its architecture reflects a deep engagement with the socio-cultural complexity of Indian urbanity, while simultaneously responding to evolving global paradigms. The studio’s name itself —Thirdspace — alludes to a conceptual in-between: a space that resists binaries, challenges convention, and opens up new realms of thought in both spatial and intellectual terms. Over the past two decades, the studio has earned critical acclaim and recognition across national and international platforms, with a body of work that is as thoughtful as it is transformative. Whether working with dense urban contexts or more peripheral landscapes, Thirdspace crafts interventions that explore the interstices of nature and structure, memory and imagination, permanence and transience. Driven by a collective of committed architects under the stewardship of Namrata Betigiri and Praveen Bavadekar, the studio has cultivated a culture of collaborative inquiry, pushing the boundaries of conventional practice. This convergence of diverse backgrounds, experiences, and sensibilities allows Thirdspace to approach design challenges with both precision and poetic intent, continuously delivering architecture that resonates with complexity, relevance, and imagination.
