Mehta Studio.
Mehta Studio is a small architecture practice working between Mumbai, Goa, and the Sahyadri foothills. The work lives in three quiet rooms — residential, cultural, and adaptive reuse — and tries to find the simplest plan that the brief, the site, and the client can agree on.
Twelve years on the boards. Adaptive reuse of heritage buildings, contemporary residences in the Western Ghats, and the occasional cultural commission — built quietly, drawn carefully.
